I mentioned getting out of Hotel rooms, to do this we are buying a retirement unit in Williamstown. There has been various levels of stress associated with this purchase. The settlement date was always tight at only four weeks. We have placed large orders for furniture and white goods and arranged for delivery according to the settlement date. The paperwork has dragged on for those four weeks. Various urgings to get on with it have done nothing. There are three lots of solicitors involved in this. Today we got various calls and emails thru the day, that the settlement was off, then it was back on. We had a final inspection today as well and there are at least five or six painting issues to fix and other outstanding items. The out going vendors cancelled the electricity when they were not supposed to. We had to scramble to get our provider to turn the juice back on ahead of time today. Even still the garage door is not working and we could not test the hot water as the unit is off. We have been assured all will yet be working by Friday's settlement. Finally we got word that a signed contract by the vendors was received today. Talk about last minute. This long day 2 occurred on the same day as long day 1.
