November 1 - Contract Cancelled

Okay folks.  Here is the big news.  The builder told us that the house would most likely not be ready until May of 2012.  While they had initially promised the house would be ready in December, the date kept slipping. We had some hope because in August they announced they had a road built into the development.  Yeah, funny story.  They did not build the entire road system, and by that I mean two roads.  They just built one. And it was not the one to our lot.  The sales rep told us that they "hoped" to get the road built before the season was over and if they did, then the house would be ready sometime in late Spring.

Before season?  Lady, it just snowed!  And what if the road did not get put in before season?  Then when would the  house be delivered?  I was furious.  But more importantly, this was not a confidence builder in this developer. This brought us to the point that we simply did not trust them.  So after some reflection we decided to cancel the contract and move on.

Yep.  We are without a house.  This has been such a trying experience.  Selling a house was difficult, moving was upsetting and overwhelming.  Now we are just numb.  I feel like I am in a weird limbo.  Why is God punishing us?  I guess it could be worse.  I could really be homeless like thousands of others.  I am really just being inconvenienced.  (See that session with Thich Naht Hahn really did work!)
