It was a good trip over all. Our realtor brought her kids (who happen to get along famously with my kids, so much fun was had by all), and M had a couple of friends out to climb all over the place. No major issues with the house, and after the AC guy comes out on Monday we should be good to go.
The only thing slowing us down at this point is the seller's realtor. He's decided he needs to get explicit permission from the bank before he can order the septic inspection. So it all rides on how bloody long it takes for the bank to get back to him, and how bloody long it takes him to get off his ass and get an inspection ordered.
*Sigh*
If it weren't for the septic we'd probably be able to close by this Friday. As it is, I'm hoping for the Friday after next, and expecting closer to three weeks out. I hope I'm wrong and it all pulls together really fast, I'm looking forward to moving in.
Even C wants to move now, because S told him once we move we could call his best friend and invite him over and they could have sword battles.
One of our new neighbors (the one with all the birds S loves to look at) has the same name as one of my brothers so it should be really easy to remember.
On his way home M picked grapefruits from a friend who has more grapefruits than several hundred people could manage to eat (and they'll be within a mile of our new home so it will be very convenient to restock :), and the kids have eaten their way through eight or nine so far just in the last hour.
