Countdown to Closing - Day 7

Well 7 days left until closing. Nothing new today. Thursday I do my walkthrough provided that it doesn't get snowed out. I'm going to call Robin tomorrow to find out what the status is with the lawyers for Fremont. At this point I'm starting to think that its not going to happen next week and its going to be delayed yet again. If it does get delayd...

Countdown to Closing - Day 8

Well I got confirmation that the only thing left from the Bank's side is the appraisal and they will be calling Fremont to set that up. At this point I'm simply waiting for confirmation of the closing date by the Fremont lawyers and the walkthrough. This is almost becoming a reali...

A royally good time

Well today I got to mingle with an actual Prince. Prince Radu of Romania was at WPI today on his only New England stop during his inagural "Friendship Tour" of the United States. I found him to be a very nice individual, very down to earth and personable. AYO was present to talk with him and show off the Little Theatre and it was quite a nice time...

Countdown to Closing - Day 9

I got a voice mail late Friday from my Bank that I only got to yesterday that said that they were still looking into if they were ready for my closing date and if I had everything done that I needed to do. As far as the girl who left the message knew, I should be all set short of the appraisal, which hopefully can be scheduled in time to close on...

Interesting thing

Ok, I'm so jumping on the bandwagon here but what the hell. Here's a fun little interactive thing that gets to see what kind of person I really am by the people that fill this out. Tell me what words you associate with me. You can do this by directing them to the following URL:http://kevan.org/johari?name=criostal To see what my Johari Window...

Update on all things "shady"

Well I've decided not to get the shades at this time. At this point its simply a want, not a need. With everything else I need to do the money can be better spent on other things, not the least of which is to be held in reserve while I find a roommate. I would have to commit to these shades by the end of the month and I still don't even know when...

A "Shady" Proposition

Ok, so every owner at Fremont Lofts gets an e-mail about a potentially good deal on buying window shades for our windows. The shades are double cell Graber fabric shades. I got the quote and saw that the prices are fairly reasonable especially considering that they include installation, plus they have the benefit of being exactly measured by the...
