Always read those documents before signing. The draft purchase and sale agreement was pretty horrendous. It dropped a few of the contingencies that we added to the offer agreement, and reversed a few clauses to be in the sellers favor. We've got our Lawyer on the case though. We postponed the structural inspection that was supposed to happen on Monday until everything gets cleared up. But I think in the next few days things will be running smoothly again. Maybe this was just a misunderstanding, but more likely it was the sellers trying to get as much of an advantage as possible.
The lawyer suggested that we go through each room and identify any extras we might like, such as outlets, telephone and cable jacks, lighting fixtures, &c. So I think we're going to try to do that in the next week or so. After that its picking out colors and window shades. Hopefully there's not too much more excitement this week; Laura and I are going to a Red Sox game tonight, and we've got tickets to the theater for tomorrow.
