New PDI
Our PDI has been rescheduled for 3pm tomorrow. This entire mess has me very pessimistic about the shape our home will be in, but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. We need to call the lawyer tomorrow morning and confirm that the keys will be available during the same timeframe that we were using for Thursday, and also make sure the mortgage stuff goes through (it was already in process when I informed of the delay last week, so they gotta restart the whole thing).

ARGH
Looks like I was too optimistic when I said we'd own a home today. Our builder called us around 10pm last night, but we weren't around so he left a message, asking us to call him ASAP. We got back to him early this morning, and he said they had to delay our closing - yes, the one that was supposed to happen TODAY. We've given them until Monday, since we have movers coming on Tuesday, so we're on our way shortly to sign an amendment officially changing our closing date. This is SO beyond frustrating that I can't even put it into words.

Conversations
Conversations we've had with the builder in the last week:
Convo 1
Builder: So you close on the 10th!
Us: Yep.
Builder: When do you plan on actually moving in?
Us: We've moving some stuff in on the 11th.
Builder: ...oh.
Us: ...
Builder: Well we may have to come in after closing to do some paint touch-ups, if that's okay.
Convo 2
Builder: The tile you picked for your main bath has been discontinued, and there isn't any stock left. [This conversation took place 2 days ago, btw.]
Us: ...
Builder: You guys can come in and pick a new one, or the design consultant can pick one out for you.
Us: At this point, we can't take any more time off work than we already have. You go ahead and pick one out for us.
Yikes. Anyway, today we're going to the lawyer's office to sign everything, and tomorrow we pick up the keys. Tomorrow we'll own a home! Hopefully one that's finished.

PDI
Mattamy called this morning: the PDI is scheduled for July 10th at 1pm. Their instructions were that we couldn't bring "family, friends or pets" - do people really bring their pets to a construction zone? Really?
We also had the moving company in this morning to assess our stuff. Apparently we'll be a relatively small move, but they still figure it'll take around 10 hours. It's going to be expensive, but I think it'll be worth it, especially with our sofa bed that nearly broke our friends' backs last move.
