I sold my house this morning. I really did not get what I really wanted for it but the new people did not have a house to sell that would usually delay things. I guess I should feel happier than I do.

I could be out of my current home in 3 weeks and into the new house.
I could use any help with the move from anyone that can. Trucks or Suburbans would also help. Anyone wanting to help? I will supply the pizza and drinks.Thanks!

Congratulations on the sale!

BTW-the last time we moved (6 yrs ago) we hired a moving company. After being married (then) for 28 yrs and 3 children, there was waaay too much stuff. [Roll Eyes]

Congrats Greg! Count me in. It is too bad I don't have the Explorer anymore, but maybe I will have my new car... If not I will borrow Jenn's car; it is a vibe, but it will carry something... [Big Grin]

Posted by Mike2001SS (Member # 2088) on :

Thanks Matt! Anything that can be loaded into any vehicle would sure help. [Cool]

Congrats!! I'm sure you had lots of memories in that house, but you'll have many more to come!!! I'm sure you're excited nonetheless!

I'd offer, but..distance is a factor. When I helped my friend move a few years ago, I had my Z24 Convertible, and put the top down and loaded a huge desk in the back seat! LOL.

Posted by Fbodfather (Member # 1119) on :

Hey! Congrats!

Let me know what weekend you're moving, and if I'm in DTW, I'll be there.

One thought, though.....have you priced a moving company? I've done it both ways and trust me, it's worth using a moving company due to breakage and wear and tear on your furniture!

Sweet! Maybe you could bring a company truck or Surburban. I will just move like I have done in the past.Don't want to see any of my Camaro stuff get damaged! [Smile]

The other house will only take a week or so with a crew to repair. The added electrical that I requested in the garage may get done after I am in. Kind of hoping it gets done before I move because I use my air compressor on a weekly basis.
The water damage only caused $4000 worth of damage including the flooring. I was promised it will be done very quickly. [Smile]

Love the airport reference for your location, Man
you need a vacation! [Big Grin]

Posted by 2002Z4CSS (Member # 1393) on :

Well the moving dates will be May 7-9th. I probably won't need all 3 days to move everything.We will be closing on May 14th so that means that I do not have to make May's house payment! [Big Grin]

Posted by Hawkeye (Member # 88) on :

Great [Mad]

the only days I said I would not be
able to help!

You are moving in before the closing? You may want to reconsider that! You never know what surprises will turn up at a closing..........I am speaking from personal experience here! Can't your relator arrange something different than that?

The idea was immediate occupancy for the people that bought my house. What kind of suprises? I know the gas,water and electricity will have to have the meters read and put into our names.

Posted by SS_CarGuy (Member # 2065) on :

Greg.........you just never know. Suppose there is a lien on the property and you can't get clear title. Suppose there are some easements on the property that you are not aware of and that you don't like. There are just all kinds of things that can come up. Can't you move up your closing so it occurs before you move all your belongings in to the new house? It will at least give you peace of mind. Also, if you do move in before the closing, make sure insurance is covering your belongings before your homowners policy takes affect since you may have a few days exposure there.

Greg I would tend to agree. Without "LEGAL" ownership you might be conidered Trespessing.You do not own the house till closing. What is to say that the Relator/Builder wants to renig and change the locks and lock you out of "HER PROPERTY"................AFTER YOU MOVE IN.Its Her property.

Just my $.02 worth

The realtor/home owner gave us this idea and so far she has come thru on her word.After all she is the one that has the keys to the house.

Andy, I have spent a ton of cash lately and just paid the State and Federal taxes.I have no money left and still have to put in landscaping,driveway,purchase a riding mower,deck and fence part of the yard for the dogs plus get ready for all of the out of town Camaro shows that I attend that cost a few hundred dollars each. I will be broke for a while. [Frown]

Thanks Mike! The new house is in Belleville just about 6-8 minutes south of downtown. That is about the only place where I could afford any land.When I get in and have a F-body BBQ again,you are more than welcome to attend. Hopefull I will have the big Chevy Bowtie out front so the house won't be hard to spot! [Cool]

Posted by Mike C (Member # 225) on :

Thanks Greg, that would be cool. I'll make sure I drive the BIG RED S-Crew.
<===== look at pic to left.

On another note, looks like work is moving me to Rawsonville so.....Greg's house for lunch. [Big Grin]

Man I really need to get back on here more often. Been way to busy at work since Turkey Day to even think about checkin' the boards. [Mad]
