Rapidly moving in on closing on our first home on July 31...and rapidly losing my mind over the number of tasks, some mundane and some major, that have to be completed by then.
Navigating a mountain of mortgage documents.
Moving money around.
Re-routing our newspaper and magazine subscriptions, as well as everything else mail-wise you can imagine.
Changing personal and business tax records within the state to reflect the new address.
Negotiating the final punchlist of items the seller will fix prior to close.
Figuring out all the ways in and out of the neighborhood and driving around the area.
Packing.
Arranging for various work going on in the house prior to moving in.
Determining what work might occur inside and outside the house over the next six months, and planning for how to begin setting that money aside.
MOVING.
We're fortunate that a number of factors are in our favor with this move, and this entire process could be significantly even more complex than it already is. Still...its a grind.
A lot more on this whole "house thing" to come, post-close.
