and shortly after our “picnic” in the old courtyard, we walked the 550 yds to Monroe Street for our pre-closing inspection, where everything looked absolutely, refreshingly perfect.

not only were all our inspection issues resolved, but the sellers actually went above and beyond — which was a great relief because we were frankly a little nervous about whether they were going to do anything at all. (get us drunk, we’ll tell you the whole story.)

anyway, a friend today asked if I was concerned about the walkthrough and i said that — while we had trouble with the sellers leading up to this point — if tonight went well, all would be forgiven.

all is forgiven. and we close tomorrow at 3pm.

• monday — we sell our place on Park Road, and start our seven day rentback from the new owners.
• tuesday — we walk through the new house to make sure they haven’t trashed the place.
• wednesday — we close on the new place on Monroe Street.
• thursday — the lady sparker takes sparklet to Tejas, and our POD is delivered bearing all the crap stuff we packed away last February.
• friday — movers come to take the rest of our crap stuff from Park Road to Monroe Street.
• saturday — i unpack.
• sunday — our rentback ends, which means we’re fully out of Park Road.
• monday — and on the eighth day, he rested.

actually, we kicked everything off this afternoon with the buyers walking through our house to make sure WE hadn’t trashed the place.

we hadn’t — well, except for all the boxes.
