I took a day of PTO because I had nothing on my plate at work. Not a great feeling, but I know I have five ongoing projects, it's just that they're all in other people's courts at the moment so there's no work I can do on any of them. I offered to do other stuff for my boss but he told me to just take the PTO day. Fingers crossed this is just a momentary lull!
We got the invoice for the electrical work--$130, much of which was exploring the issue they ended up not fixing. But that's fine. I sent off a payment that should get to him by 4/7--I need a proof of payment by closing on 4/9, but hopefully it will work out.
Then I got an email from our agent: The buyer's mortgage broker said it could delay things if they tried to do the $200 off the purchase price as they hoped in exchange for us not repairing one of the two issues. So the buyer decided to waive that new condition. Now we're selling for $133K again instead of $132,800. Hopefully that means my estimate of what we need to bring to closing is a bit high, but I'm going to leave it as is in my budget spreadsheet until I hear an exact number of what we need to pay. (I haven't heard yet, but as I recall when you're a buyer you don't get the number until a couple days before closing, so maybe it's the same when you're a seller who is losing money on the deal.)
Emailed our broker about the refi--no response. AS said I should call him. I'll see tomorrow morning.
No word on any of the other things we're waiting to hear about (WV deal, UK reno).
No new freelance checks for AS. She's expecting quite a few but turnaround time on pay can vary pretty wildly, so not sure when we'll see them.
NT realized his British passport expired, so we'll need to pay for that before we get any outdoor furniture or gardening stuff.
Everything's so close to starting to turn around. Must be patient!
Couple more bits of things cleared up
