Walkthrough Tomorrow

Are we excited that the walkthrough is tomorrow? Not really…..why you ask? Let me explain.

I went by the house today and found that the house has not been cleaned up. There are soda cans, water bottles, dirt, carpet debris, dust (a lot of dust) on the counters, window sills, filthy windows and mirrors. It looks like my family came to visit for a couple of days. You must understand that it only takes my family (mom excluded) to destroy and perfectly clean house in a matter of hours.

They say that a pictures is worth a thousand words….unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures. I had my iPhone but was too pissed. Since I don’t have any pictures to show you, I will be forced to use a thousand words.

Here is the email that I sent to Courtney (our beloved sales girl):

Courney,

We are really concerned that we might not close on the property on August 8th.  

Since Xcel Energy has not restored the power to the house, we will be forced to do a “limited walkthrough” tomorrow and a more thorough follow up once power has been restored.  If Xcel takes another few days to restore power, the ability to do the in-depth walkthrough will also be delayed and of course, this will delay the crew responsible for fixing any issues that we find.  I am sure that they will require the allotted seven days to resolve any issues.

So with that being said, it bothers me that the Xcel power problem is not a new issue and that Richmond American Homes has been aware of this for at least three weeks.  One June 21st, you sent us an email of the walkthrough and closing date.  Since both of us have been working off of these dates, somebody should have been on top of this to ensure that the power would be restored prior to the walkthrough.   

Since we were not notified of any issues (until today) we have used these dates in our plans to move.  

Our landlord has somebody moving in on August 10th so we must close on August 8th.  We are too close to the date to extend our stay here.  

Finally, I can understand the carpet could not be vacuumed without power but power is not required to pickup soda cans, water bottles or clean out the shower and tubs.  From what I can tell, water is running.  When I walked through the house today I was a little disgusted knowing that walkthrough is tomorrow and the house is filthy.  The carpenters were using generators for their nail guns and sanders.  I feel that they could also be used to power the vacuum.  

If the condition of the house had not been brought to your attention, would we even have done a “walkthrough” tomorrow?

Okay, it is not a thousand words. In fact, it is about half (my word count shows 494 no, 496…damn it! Now it says 503…

Jordan Day 1

 It's been almost three years since we had payed for our trip to Jordan and Israel.  THREE FUCKING YEARS! We finally went and had a great time.   The trip lasted almost a month and we started our adventure in Amman, Jordan.  We arrived a day early so we could acclimate to the time change (nine hour difference).   We had purchased some Briggs and Riley high end luggage in hopes to carry them on the plane due to all of the recent horror stories of lost and or delayed baggage.  No such luck!  We were forced to check our bags at the gate in Denver.  If we had known our bags would have to be checked, we would have brought a lot more clothes and a much bigger suitcase.  We only brought six days of clothes (with an extra abundance of underwear and socks).   The planes were on time and we arrived in Amman a bit tired and eager to get going.   Our first hotel was the House Boutique Hotel which was really comfortable.  The hotel had a roof top pool and most importantly, a roof top bar. A lit

The Graduation of Travis Part III

We dropped Travis off at the barracks on time and headed back to the hotel. We kind of got up on time the next morning to pick up Travis at 8:00am. We drove around the barracks like pedophiles around an elementary school and finally found him. We were able to take a tour of the barracks before going to Sea World. The barracks reminded me of the reform school. The only thing missing were the Nuns and their num-chucks.   WOW! Take picture and simonize it.   Travis had obtained free passes for Sea World. We had a good time. We caught all of the animal shows and even take in a roller coaster ride. Travis opted to sit it out since he doesn’t like the up and down motion. Your’e in the Air Force Travis…get used to it The Iron Eel   SeaWorld     Whales Seal We headed back to the base to drop Travis off. We said our goodbyes as we were leaving early tomorrow morning to start the drive home. We got up the next day and drove home. The end

Thank You For The Smoke (California)! Wyoming Sucked

Another attempt at Astrophotography gone up in smoke.   Thank you California for the ruining our Wyoming weekend.  Don't worry, we will be visiting soon and will definitely leave a mark on your ass. The smoke was so bad in Wyoming.  Thick, grey and disgusting. Of course, this didn't stop people from going to one of our favorite spots in Wyoming.  Medicine Bow National Forest.   We dressed for 60 degree weather.  We didn't expect 35 degree weather with fog and blustery wind.  Glad we packed additional clothes (hats, gloves, scarfs etc). I am ahead of myself.  The day excursion to Medicine Bow was the second day.   We spent the first day at the Wyoming Territorial Prison to visit relatives.  Ha...the prison is now a park.  The prison's most famous prisoner was Butch Cassidy.  The only prison that Butch was incarcerated in.  Pretty good for career criminal. We spent most of the day at the prison.  Historical Prisons will the only ones that I will visit.  My mother raised m
