sdandrea1 DC300 sounds like you are having a rough go of it all. I hope things smooth out for you. Thanks! We're still very blessed. Sometimes worthwhile things don't come easy.
DC300 sdandrea1 agreed. I’m going down a similar path now. We just found a home that fit our lives far better than our current home, so we jumped on it, completely unplanned and now I’m trying to scramble to finish our house and get everything lined up for the new house. Double pain in the @$$ because I’m also the Realtor for both transactions. Financially, it’s a huge bonus, reality is, it sucks to add it on top of everything else. As you said, too blessed to worry about the stress. We are extremely fortunate to have the ability to do this, so I’ll suck it up and be happy about it.
sdandrea1 DC300 I’ll suck it up and be happy about it. 80% of surviving life is dealing with reality,👍
sdandrea1 VA house closed, moved out, cancelled insurance, HOA fees, pest control contract, real estate taxes, golf membership, utilities, internet fees. We just got a pay raise!
sdandrea1 Eguller And, seems you weren’t enamored with the course anyway. 😉 Actually, I enjoyed the challenge and the zoysia fairways are always in great shape. It was a typical P.B. Dye course - punishes slightly errant shots unmercifully. Just gotta change expectations when there and our new VA home is still in the area, so while I may not join when we move back, I certainly will still tee it up there.......
sdandrea1 One more closing saga/drama. We cancelled our annual termite control contract (which was just renewed a few months back) and asked for a pro-rated refund on the balance. The office manager says "oh, we don't do that. Your coverage automatically transfers to the new owners". I turned SWMBO loose on them. "We paid for the coverage, the new owners did not. That's not your decision to make on our behalf." Some more discussion ensues and we settled on a free year of service at the new place.
Bravopilot sdandrea1 Might need to pay her consulting fees when I depart. I assume you didn't ask her to try on the FL geese?
sdandrea1 Bravopilot I assume you didn't ask her to try on the FL geese? Her geese solution is more fun to watch than mine. She slides the door open and lets Sophie out. I'm going to video record it next time. 🤣

sdandrea1 DC300 Thanks Darrin! I can't believe I'm starting this insanity all over again next month. 😳
DC300 sdandrea1 Don’t forget to take a minute and breath through it all. When all is said and done, I’m sure it will be for the better, and hopefully make life less stressful for years to come. Good luck!
raggmann54 You ever thought about farming SWMBO out to the Pentagon to help find all those tax dollars that have disappeared??? With a 10% finders fee you could rival Bezos or Musk…
sdandrea1 raggmann54 You ever thought about farming SWMBO out to the Pentagon to help find all those tax dollars that have disappeared??? With a 10% finders fee you could rival Bezos or Musk… She spent much of her career in the Pentagon. She once told an Admiral (in a meeting ) :"Sir, if you need money spent, give it to a woman".

Good luck! Yep! The Florida sale might be a little slower paced. We're getting back to living our lives again. Not listing the house until next month and this place doesn't need the purging/cleanup of stuff that VA did.
raggmann54 sdandrea1 They don’t even know how much money is unaccounted for or “missing”. I’ve seen figures ranging from $2.3 Trillion to $35 trillion in “adjustments”. They have never passed an audit… Your wife is correct and she could add that if you need to account for the money give that job to a woman, also.
Rickochet sdandrea1 We're getting back to living our lives again. Did the geese greet you when you arrived? 😜
