One down...one to go

Yikes...when we get through this month, I think Jim and I will sleep for a week.  It's hard to even remember all that goes on in a day - I couldn't even begin to know how many hundreds of things Jim has gotten done lately.

Monday evening, the buyer came over to take some measurements and pictures.  He continues to say nice things about the house and they seem excited to move in.  Because he's a car fanatic, we took him to Gasoline Alley in Bath for dinner.  Some things made us slightly nervous...he said he had had some trouble with a home inspector before so he called and talked to the guy who is going to do ours.  He questioned his thoroughness so now we are afraid he might be out for bear when he comes tomorrow. 

Today was the appraiser.  Jim said it went really well - this guy seemed to really appreciate the quality of everything in the house.  He looked at everything, took lots of pictures, and told Jim that he would tell the story to reflect the house.  Also said he realized that comps wouldn't work, since our quality was so far above the normal house.  So that was a big relief and we feel pretty confident that things will come back okay.  Apparently the buyer is supposed to get a copy tomorrow - we don't get to see it.

But tomorrow is the BIG day - and poor Jim is a nervous wreck about it.  Inspection will happen tomorrow afternoon.  Jim is literally working his tail off trying to get so many things done.  I'm sure it will be fine - and I'm sure they can always find little things to be wrong - but Jim wants so much for things to pass and be able to move on.  We keep praying to St Joseph to help us too!
