    Same here, Storm. Plastics, metals, pumps, instrumentation, etc. I work for Ryan Herco Flow Solutions. Still seeing if my regional manager will entertain the idea of remote access. Supposed to get information on that today.

    As for the weekend, we received a total of 12 offers on our house. Several of them were "strong" offers but every single one was over asking value. We are in a bidding war with the top two and hope to accept one today. We also drafted an offer letter for the property we want on Saturday to compete with another one that came in. The other offer was under the posted value. We came in at exact value with an earnest offer and health and safety only. We're supposed to get notified of acceptance or decline later today.

    All in all, today is going to be super stressful. I hope for good results.

    You're a trooper Lye, you'll pull through.

    Though I thought Rev was just petrified of my writing skills and hadn't replied!

    Accepting one today. Move out is roughly on 5/4/18. Leaving us three weeks to pack and get all this shit done. No word on other property. Nerves overclocked. Waiting for more info.

    Also broke news to my mother and she lost her mind. Made it about her, that I don't care and rather be further away, that she's going to die alone. My little brother is trying to mediate the situation but is also telling me I'm wrong. More stress that's not needed and negatively impacting my relationship with my family. They should ideally be supportive. I'm not happy.

    That's sad, but you're doing the right thing. We only get one life, make it yours. You know my email via the registry; look me up on LinkedIn and I'll see if there's a way to network you through if anyone I know can help you.

    I went through a very similar experience when I moved out of my dad's house and in with my now wife. It really took the shine off it all, made us feel like we were somehow stabbing him in the back when all he did was go on about how we just wanted to get out of his life, and didn't give a fuck about him. Work and life in general was hell with him for so long but we fought it, made it all our own and eventually he came round.

    Time is a great healer. It's stressful as fuck, it causes diplomatic nightmares but eventually people get used to it and bridges get built again. Now my dad gets to see his grandkid and me every week, and everyone is happy, but by god that first year was torture.

    If you want to talk it out, hit me up, and stay strong with your eyes on the prize.

This is your life buddy, tough decisions get made to further your life, but in the end you wade through the shit to get to a better place and I promise you there is light at the end of the tunnel. You'll look back at this in years to come and regret nothing.

    Thanks for the advice guys. She isn't responding to me, but I suppose that's her decision. She's hurt and I shouldn't invalidate it. Just seems an awfully shallow and immature response to an otherwise mature and great opportunity.

    Last night we entered a bidding war for the Oregon Property. We had to go higher but still only met previous offers. The one thing holding us back from a shoo-in is my employment status. I sent an email to my boss this morning with a deadline on the remote capability with fingers crossed. He said he's pushing for me to get it. I have until 3pm to get that information over or there's a chance we can lose the bid and the house. All this work was for that and I can't help but feel the universe wants to keep shitting on me. We lost Craig way too early and this home was a silver lining to that dark cloud - to be near him and still raise a family by him like we planned. But the day we put in an offer, two others swoop in and threaten to steal it. It's asinine. If that falls through, we have to back out of our sale and we're rooted.

    Which will make my working situation super fucking awkward.

    2018 needs to come through with this.

    The decision to stay close to one family or another is always hard. Move to where is best for you and your wife, that is the family that is most important. And hey, if one set of family has to now drive further to meet you ... Well, holiday for them.

    Take care of yourself and wife first and foremost. Many blessings and hopes that you get the property you want, I hope it goes well. As long as you are happy. Sorry that you didn't get the offer closer to your asking value; that's a little annoying. Here asking offers are often below what the owners actually want and it can be seriously confusing. The housing market can be brutal, but really hope you get the house you want, and deserve.

    Hope the job comes through too.

    Less than three weeks to move. Deadline for resignation is Friday if my company doesn't come through on the remote option. Both homes are under contract and in process. Inspection only turned back two critical points: a dead outlet and chimney cleaning. Appraisal is due sometime this week and should everything go well, that's it. Only loose end is the job and signing over utilities.

    This week will be packing the house and finalizing repairs. Some moving company wanted 12,000 to move our stuff to Oregon. Twelve. Thousand.

    Who pays that money?

    Anywho, still busy, still job hunting, still thinking of Althanas. Hope to be back soon and busy tidying up the place.

    $12,000!? Holy smokes! I presume the only people that would pay that are the people that make a big windfall on their house and are cash-drunk. Also, they need to be pretty loaded, since my version of "cash drunk" was splurging for a $1200 tile backsplash in our kitchen after a great bonus.
