I received confirmation that my mortgage has moved to the closing process. I have officially done all the "homework" I needed to make the bank and underwriter happy. Closing date is still set for February 28th.
I found out that Roto Rooter is starting work tomorrow (Feb 13) on redoing the sewer line. The garage roof will be done this week too but likely later in the week as it should be in the upper 30s or lower 40s so the snow should melt off said roof. Either way, both processes need to be done by Feb 21.
I'm not quite sure when I need to officially pay the down payment. The money is sitting in my new Wells Fargo account. State Farm still needs to come in and look at my fire place too. Dan hasn't given his landlord notice yet either but can at any time. I set the date for the electric, water, sewer to be put in my name for the residence. We will put the gas in Dan's name because he's using the same company in Newton and just needs to change the addresses. He's looking into options with his cable and Internet. If there isn't a fee to just cancel the cable, we are going to do that. But if there is a fee to cancel the cable early, we'll keep it for a bit. Have to have Internet though.
We have also picked a local garbage company too. I feel like such an adult organizing all these utility services. I'm used to them all being included with rent.
Work is going quite well for both institutions. I have 90 students turning in an assignment this Friday though so I'll start having digital piles of grading to deal with. I'm also working extra hours for DMACC this month because our coaching classes weren't properly staffed. I'm not thrilled to be working almost every weekend but hey, it's money.
I have been working out almost every M, W, and F with the Exercise Clinic at work (ISU). I am very pleased with my progress with weight lifting. I'm making great gains with my upper body but do need to do more cardio. I do end up working out on some Tuesdays and Thursdays too because of the class I teach for future PE teachers. I've been making them try different group fitness classes. I see the upcoming move as a workout too as there will be lots of loading/unloading vehicles and using stairs at the new house. Functional fitness! I'm more excited about it than Dan.
Very excited to see some family this weekend and have some fun!
Wow, the house stuff is coming together quickly but nicely. It'll be nice not to have to worry about the garage roof, sewer system, and such. Yes, all those separate costs are a pain -- utilities, electricity, cable/internet, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like you were working more weekends. I wouldn't mind doing the ACTs once in awhile again, but the guy running it never calls me anymore. Bastard. I've been fairly fortunate with the grading pile. It's been more manageable this year. 90 digital assignments doesn't sound fun.
Muchos kudos for exercising so much. I keep telling myself to stop at Snap Fitness in CC, but then I give myself plenty of excuses after school to not go -- tired, groceries, Diesel, etc. Very appropriate V-Day postcard there. Ha ha ha!
Sounds like you're making real progress on the house! I realize you made this blog like 2 weeks ago and I'm just now reading it. Oops.
ReplyDeleteYour workout schedule/determination is inspirational. I'm working on switching gyms. The one I'm currently using isn't working out for me. I am excited for warmer weather so I can continue to take Duke on walks!
Nothing much new here!
