Can You Drown In Paper?

Monday July 7, 2008

Well, we are one more baby step toward owning our home. We just finished signing the massive amount of paperwork for the FHA loan and will be sending that on it's merry little way tomorrow. I think they killed an entire forest for the paper. The home and pest inspections are completed and everything is in good shape there.

We're estimated to close on August 1st and I hear that there will be another mountain of paperwork to sign that day. Maybe we should get rubber stamps made up...

I never realized all the documentation and crap they want you to gather up. This is the computer age...can't they look that stuff up in some database somewhere?? Instead of killing more trees to print this stuff, why can't they digitally look up all the documentation we're providing and save a rain forest or two? And the hoops we're having to jump through makes me think we signed up for a three ring circus and it's only the first night of the show. Why is it all so complicated?

It will all be worth it I suppose...once we are moved and able to enjoy the place. In a few more weeks we should be in our new home...and best of all...it's ours!
