Closing went well yesterday. We got up at our regularly scheduled time to stop by the Community Group offices to pick up a Disclosure Package* (for 100 freakin' dollars) for our townhouse buyer. Since we had some extra time we also had a greasy (but delicious) BK breakfast.

Once we got started at NVR, signing the papers only took about 45 minutes. We didn't have nearly as many questions this time around, so we were out of there in a jiffy. Instead of going right to the house, we went back to the townhouse and loaded both vehicles up with boxes of fragile items. Jeff stuck around the new house after unloading everything, to wait for the cable guy and to set up a truck for Saturday** while I picked up more stuff from the townhouse and Kroger.

After the cable guy finished and we showed off our house to potential Ryan customers (we think a lot of people are going to want to see the 2-story great room) we contributed to the Jimmy Johnson fund by buying 7 of 17 miniblinds we're eventually going to install. And a deadbolt for our interior garage door. And a water line for the ice maker. And a light for the kitchen island. And...no, I think that was it for that trip.

By then it was about 7:30 and there was still much to be done at the townhouse. After dinner I packed up about 7 or 8 more boxes and then called it a night. I would have uploaded some pictures we took, but we don't have no innerwebs at the townhouse now. I suppose tonight will be more of the same, making sure we get everything ready for our helpers on Saturday.

I sure wish I could take today off. It's hard to go back to work mode for one day. Oh well, at least I have a long weekend.

*Disclosure package: A nicely bound book of Community regulations, exterior inspection report and a general 'welcome to the neighborhood' for new owners. Basically, all the stuff we got we we first moved in.

**We had a truck rental from UHaul for Saturday morning, but they called yesterday and said our pick up location had changed as well as the time (to 2pm). Jeff called Penske who was able to guarantee us a truck we can pick up tonight so we cancelled the UHaul.
