Our 'back yard neighbors' moved out last Wed. evening. Yes, you read
that right. See, Brent and Kayla found a house in time to put a bid in
on it before it was already off the market (that happened a LOT!). Their
bid was accepted. :-]. The very next day, they received notification
from the company they had been renting from, that they had to be out by
the end of the month. The company was going to take advantage of the
current housing market and put the house up for sale. It could have
worked out just fine, seeings how the people they were buying from had
already put an offer in on another house and wanted a quick flip.
But you know how 'could have's' and 'should have's' go. Especially when
your dealing with any branch of the government. While Brent had been
pre-approved for a mortgage, it was a government backed one... sigh.
While he had been super careful to cross every 'T' and dot every 'i', it
seemed that the line on the 'T' must have gotten too close to the dot
on the 'i' or something. (Insert eye roll). It was one delay after
another. Crazy things. Such as, even though all of the money for his
down payment was in one (1) account, the proof of where every dollar of
it had come from wasn't in the proper order of deposits for them. Such
as, the guy from the county who did the lot survey, didn't fill out his
paper work to their (the governments) satisfaction. This ended up having
to be redone more than twice. Like I said, crazy things!
In the meantime, or should that be 'in reality', time had passed and
they had gotten to the end of when they could live in the rental house.
The cost of living in a hotel for an extended time was either too high,
or at a location you wouldn't want to do so at.
Seeings how they DID have a new house lined up and even if the deal on
that place didn't go through, they were going to be buying a house; and
it is summer, we said "yes" to their request of moving into our back
yard. They came inside to get water for dishes or to use the bathroom,
but other wise, by their own choice, mainly stayed outside.
It worked out just fine. We'd had concerns about their dogs and
barking, due to where they were set up and neighborhood traffic, etc.,
but were very pleasantly impressed with how well they have trained and
controlled their dogs! :->
They ended up living out back longer than they had hoped, but not as
long as they had feared. Last Wed. we helped them load up, and move
their stuff to their own new house. With 17 acres. And a garage. And a
barn. And tons of wild life. A perfect 'Brent' and 'Kayla' location!
I snapped this picture early Wed. morning. The picture of their dogs in yesterday's posting was taken then too.
