Wise words, beautifully spoken from deanna, as always.deannatrois said:Well done for persisting. The worst has been pretty bad but its over now. Now the house is YOURS.
As has been said, stories will be told with laughter about this in a year or so. Honestly, it will. I'm afraid we all have disasters while moving house (mine was only a small removal van, and sharing it with people we were swapping houses with although we didn't realise this initially - social housing rental situation). The removal people disappeared for hours because of problems with the other party, as did my ex partner, hallways blocked with stuff just tossed there and a fridge defrosting at the old place. And the place was absolutely filthy. Now its a wry story and gives me confidence because however hard it was we did move and sort it all out.
Well done. Now it starts getting better and will be your home.
Congratulations, OP; you did it! Nothing worth having is obtained without effort... Unless you're so rich you can afford to pay someone else to deal with it all for you in which case, you probably don't have a clue. Gaining useful knowledge is often painful but, once gained, can stand you in good stead for the rest of your life. For whatever it is worth, your thread will almost certainly help others who find themselves in similar situations.
Let's raise a toast to your new home! Cheers!5 -
