Pulling together the loose ends

I was talking with the realtor and the electrician who were at the house to go through some paper work and take care of items on the request for repairs, respectively, when my phone rang and the termite inspector arrived. Fortunately, they all seem to be used to people trying to juggle this many things at once, so I assure myself that this is what everyone goes through selling a house. I am also supposed to be working from home today.

The plumber is now in the garage working on the water heater and I just finished talking with Jason about the continuous moving target of wood rot repair. (Really, you would not think that it was that difficult, but the inspector is the least clear person that I have interacted with in a long time who could have a substantial effect on my life.) We are hoping to have a different inspector come by on Monday who may be more enlightening. I have no idea how people go through this process if they do not have flexible jobs.

We are now to the point of lists, lists, and more lists. Wednesday is my last day at work and I am looking forward to being able to focus on getting us out of here. We are eating through our food and plan to give any open things away at the house cooling party this Saturday. Anything not yet opened will be dropped off at some sort of community kitchen on Thursday. We will be out of the house from Friday until Monday for the termite tenting and out of the house for good the following Thursday. We will be flying out either Saturday or Sunday. If you live locally and have an extra bedroom, you may be hearing from us soon.
