About Me:

Ima saver (julie is my real name)

I am over 70, but still feel like I am just 7. I love to go dancing with my wonderful husband of almost 40 years.Since we have never earned a lot of money, we have learned to take care of what we have. We live in the mountains in north georgia in a big beautiful house that my husband build and it is mortgage free. Now I am trying to save so my "younger" husband can retire someday.

Upset

December 5th, 2006 at 04:15 pm

My dh and I got pretty upset last night. We sat and discussed last night, how soon we could have this house finished and have a closing.
DH has been working straight the past 4 months, with no days off at all.
He decided that we could closed the week before christmas, he would have the house finished! Wow, I was so happy because we have used our own cash to build this house and I want the money back in our savings account.
I called the buyers to tell them the good news. They have decided that they do NOT want to close until sometime in January.
Oh, that burns me up. We told them we would try and finish the house before Christmas and my husband has worked so hard.
We even decided to forego christmas shopping so he could get the house done.
We are both disappointed. Big time!!

How frustrating!! Did they know how hard your DH has worked to finish by Christmas?? If so, and they have done this...Id be more than upset. Didnt he work through Thanksgiving day too?

Sorry to hear that. So...maybe DH can take a little time off now and get that shopping done?

I'm sorry to hear that, Julie. It's got to be very upsetting after all that hard work.

Sorry to hear that. I totally understand how you feel. My husband is in the construction field as well and it's unpredictable sometimes. I have sometimes found that things sometimes work out for the best. You just never know. My husband has been working every weekend as well. My son is redoing half of his house and we're all trying to get it done before his baby (our first grandchild) arrives in January.

Have a very nice holiday and rest with the hubby. Also, thank you for all of your encouragement. I opened my ING account today because of you and Rduel. Thanks for everything.

That is great Aleta. Yes, he worked all Thanksgiving day too. I guess they are in no hurry cause they have to start making payments when we close.But in the meantime we are losing a lot of interest just letting that house sit.

I spoke with my husband last night and he said that the seller usually sets the date and the other person can default. Usually, the buyer is trying to save themselves tax money by doing it. The same thing happened to my father-in-law. It was a tax thing for them at my father-in-law's expense. I can only imagine how you must feel.
