the frustration has been mounting and today it has reached the point to where i’m stressed out, unable to sleep, and fighting a rash of anger.
i never, ever want to buy another house again—mainly because i never, ever want to have to sell a house ever again. our buyer is being uncooperative at the moment, his mortgage company people have been nothing short of jackasses, and now we’re in an awkward position trying to figure out how to settle everything.
it all stems back to a tornado warning and windstorm that occurred a couple of weeks ago which damaged part of the side of our carport, we can’t seem to get the insurance company (allstate) to agree to terms with one of their “allstate preferred” contractors, and we can’t seem to get other contractors in town to call us back leaving us with a damaged carport 2 weeks from our closing date (may 25). the buyer wants it completely fixed before moving in, which is understandable, but almost improbable at this moment and yet he’s unwilling to accept an allowance for the damages. his mortgage company is continually trying to get us to move the closing date up, now to the 18th—next friday—and the buyer is even pressuring us to do the same. this won’t happen at all on our end because we’re unable to close any sooner than the 25th, and now with having to get the repairs done it probably won’t be until the 31st (if at all)…
i’m a lot frustrated, a lot stressed, and a lot aggitated at the moment. i can’t seem to sleep (and i really want to) and i just want this all to be over.
so, with that said and off my chest any prayers that you can muster up for my sanity and for our situation would be greatly appreciated. i don’t really want to lose my mind…

Monts,
I’ve never owned a home, and my wife keeps talking about how one of her goals is home ownership. Personally, I don’t want to buy a home in the States. Everything I’ve ever seen or heard about buying,selling and paying for a home here makes me want to avoid it. Besides, if I buy a home here it will feel like I’m stepping further away from a return to Brazil.
I’m making a note to pray for you in this situation. Keep us posted.
hey man, dealing with home ownership absolutely sucks. fortunately, after wading through complications that seem to suck your soul out, things usually turn out well. in regards to the carport, do what you can and things will probably turn out ok.
pax.
sorry man … Allstate does suck, I’m dealing with them due to the accident with the drunk driver that hit me.
