But I swear the strangest thing just happed. At least I think it strange. Let me share...
So like most people in the free world going through this process, I'm concerend about interest rates. Yes, there's nothing we can do about it. But for me, it's getting to be about the time I can lock in, before the picture (possibly) becomes more bleak. This is one thing that prompts me to reach out to my PM.
Allow me to throw in that I have NOT had any contact with my PM since my pre-constrution meeting. Except once. And that was because I popped by my lot early in the day once, and I caught him riding by. But he has not reached out to me for any updates, nor I have pinged him. Up until now, I had been comfortable with everything going on, thanks to the blogs and my research. And I'm an 'every other day' stalker. :)
Anywho, I'm reaching out my PM just to make sure we are on the same schedule he outlined in the pre-con meeting. At that time, he said he'd be done wtih the house by August 12th. So I shot him an email on Friday afternoon. Didn't get a response. Then, Monday around lunchtime, I gave him a call and left a message. So today he calls me back.
He states that things are moving along, and he plans to have my final walkthrough on August 9th, which would give me a closing date around the 14th. And then he says,
"Did you want to walk through the house before we hang the drywall?". SAY WHAT?!!?? Ummm, aren't we *supposed* to have a pre-drywall meeting? I clearly remember in the pre-con meeting, him telling me we would have a pre-drywall meeting. I realize the blogs aren't 'the gospel', but I've read like 16 trillion of them, and EVERYBODY has a pre-drywall meeting. So I answer him by saying, "Um, well, yeah". He goes, "Oh, well I probably should have called you last week and set up something....can you come by tomorrow?". Apparenlty the drywall is being stocked in the house TODAY and they were going to start hanging tomorrow. I surmise no one was gonna tell me. Sigh.
I suppose everyone reaches a point where their excitment level is nil. Well today, that is me. Between my spur-of-the-freakin-moment pre-drywall meeting, and crappy-as-heck interest rates.....I'm done.
