Onda

2008-07-13T19:04:00.000-07:00

Los Lonely Boys - Onda - all 26.07 minutes live from the Rochester Ny. Jazz Festival 6/9/07

Tis a lovely way to end one of my last Sunday nights here at the little cottage by the creek in the redwoods. The sun has gone behind the ridge and it is a pleasant 75 outside as the bright greens start to fade into what will eventually be greys as the stars come out. Watched a redtail hawk get into a nest of steller jays yesterday afternoon - the forrest was filled with bird cries as the battle was waged with jays dive bombing the hawk and the ravens and crows in the tree waiting. Today, everything is back to its usual silence.

I will miss this place.

Some Humans Ain't Human

2008-07-12T00:22:00.000-07:00

John Prine - Some Humans Ain't Human

I've said that if I got moving costs outta the house that I would be lucky. It looks like that is questionable - everyone else has to get paid outta the sales price - I had to give the buyer a $5K credit for repairs based on the reports from the termite and home inspections. Everyone gets more outta this deal than I do. I did everything right which I figured out really means that I get to pay for all the delays and got to have limited control - such as not being allowed to look for anything but a cash buyer for 15 forking months while the forking real estate market forking tanked beyond the toilet and into the sewers. I reduced my price but there were no cash buyers to be found.

Meanwhile, I am accruing penalties and interest on property taxes, am only making a partial mortgage payment so am accruing penalties and interest there and there is always the Homeowners Association dues and penalties - but hey, I'm doing the forking right thing.

Three months after they relented and agreed to financing - bingo, a buyer. Meanwhile, I keep spiraling down a hellhole while getting to pick up the tab for everyone else - ending up with less than 1/10th of what I have put into the little cottage by the creek in the redwoods.

Fuck.

The buyer has lender approval for her private financing. All inspections have been done and the HOA is scheduling the Board of Directors meeting for the buyer's interview.

Looks like I will be out of here the 1st or 2nd week in August.

dancing happy dance but still have my fingers and toes crossed because I'm double Irish and its not over until escrow closes.

Dirty City

2008-07-09T01:29:00.000-07:00

Steve Winwood - Dirty City.

A different septic crew found the septic tank after the first crew was not being able to find it Monday. It was exactly where I told them it was. Then they left. Said another crew was coming tomorrow to do the digging.

Major eye rolling. A simple one day septic inspection has turned into a three day deal. I know these companies charge $350.00 each time just to send out a crew - there goes the rest of my moving money. Sigh.

Buyer Showing - Updated

2008-07-05T13:25:00.000-07:00

Buyer will be by soon. She is showing the little cottage by the creek in the woods to her kin and, I'm sure, hoping they fall in love with it also.

Floors are waxed and shined. Beds are made. Windows are open and I'll light the candles right before I leave.

UPDATE: I was lied to - she wasn't showing it to kin - she had two construction trucks here and they were here for over an hour and a half. I think she was trying to slip an inspection by me. Should not have lied to me - if she had been honest about the purpose of her showing, it would NOT have been a problem.

I think I'm just gonna pack up and leave. It's not worth all this just to end up with maybe $5k to move with - and my second exhusband has threatened to put a lien on my house unless I give him $2k of it. I've lost everything I inherited from my dad by 'doing the right thing'.

The only thing the right thing does is screw those who do it.

Fairport Convention - Matty Groves. My mechanic, George, was with Fairport Convention (harmonica player) back in the day. I'm going to have to be sure to get the car over to him for a good going over and also get some new tires. Gotta make sure it will handle the drive up to Oregon/Washington.

I'm looking forward to finding where I'm gonna hang my hat. My neighbors said they will watch Token and Bailey for me while I'm looking.
