The Latest

We still have not closed. This is the reason as I know it right now. We were getting the USDA Rural Development Loan. This loan is available for property in Butts and Jasper County. Which is great because those are the two counties we want to live in. Anyway, seems that the loan has this obscure clause about swimming pools. Well the house has a swimming pool; however, it is defunct and might even need to be filled in.

It seems that the H family was able to be approved at every step, when suddenly a week ago today someone said, "Oh, we have a no swimming pool policy. No big deal we just need a waiver. If this had come in next month the rules are being changed and the swimming pool doesn't matter." Now since this comment was made the loan and appraisal were sent to the USDA regional office. At which point it seems to be bogged down in bureaucracy! So we wait. I am assured every day that there is no problem, they just need the waiver.

I am not a patient type person, so this is all hard. Yet, I will trust in God! Dan goes to a consult with the surgeon tomorrow. I will not be going because you can't get off work around this place unless you are officially dead!
