Have you noticed the lack of house pictures?

Well, that's probably because NOTHING has happened at our house since 5/21.
When we met with our construction guy that day, he said that over the following week (last week), he had scheduled for the appliances to come in, for the final yard grading and some other stuff. He was going to be on vacation last week and was SURE that things would get done while he was away.
Ahem, ahem.
Jeff and I did get to see the house on Saturday.
"I thought that the house was locked and you had to make arrangements to get in" you say?
Well, not when the front door is WIDE OPEN and we, and anyone and everyone, can walk right in. Jeff tried the front door a couple of times and realized that you can pop the door open while it's locked.
So, while Jeff and I were there, we noticed that the house looked EXACTLY the same as it had when we were there 9 days before.
No appliances.
Big pile of dirt in the front yard.
Only 2 shutters on the house (still).
Unpainted trim.
We did have most of the electrical boxes, switches installed and a couple of ceiling lights. ooooooh!
Another thing we noticed. They ordered the wrong kitchen sink.
I guess that's a good thing that it hadn't been installed yet. Hopefully that will make it easier to replace.
And, today, for the cherry on top of my big crappy house sundae, the mortgage company told us that they heard from our developer that our house completion date is JUNE 17th. NOT JUNE 12th.
You'd better believe that I've been emailing people like crazy since they've not only added 5 days to our wait, but are going to go over the original completion date by a day.
Yet another bonus! The stupid, freaking mortgage co. just can't seem to figure out what our mortgage will be.
Here's a hint:
Sale price minus downpayment equals MORTGAGE AMOUNT.

Big freakin' duh.
I know, I know, not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it's 5 days of my life that I can't get back and lots and lots of money that I'm not feeling very secure about at this stage.
Another piece of sunshine, it looks like it's going to take maybe 2 weeks to close. Appraisals, red tape and C.R.A.P.
Not in the best mood. Not enjoying summer vacation so far.
(triple bonus: it's cloudy, rainy and 60-something degrees. happy June.)

Egads. I'm sorry. Hopefully, your builder's return from vacation will force some BUTT-kickin!! Hang in there. You are so close now.
