Still waiting . . . and random motherly comments from the construction loan lady

So we're still waiting on the appraisal. Apparently they're supposed to have it done by Thursday and then it will be definite crunch time to get it done by the 8th when we're supposed to close. In the meantime random comments from the lady we're working with to get approved for a construction loan:

Wow, are you sure you know what you're doing?

Does it need a new roof?
Me: No.
Who told you that? You're mother?!
Me: No. We had three (competent ~ okay that part was only in my head) contractors look at it and they all said the roof was fine.

Man i see this and I think you're crazy. My husband would probably see it and think potential!

Who's going to clean out the attic?

What about the random exposed wires in the basement? (okay confession, i didn't actually know there were wires down there because I haven't explored the basement yet considering there is no electricity and there's no telling what is down there! but the contractors walked through it . . . and i've decided to trust them ;) ha)

Oh and if you're going to hang a porch swing make sure you hang it from an attic beam. (okay this is just completely random! we never talked about this at all with her)

I just got your driver's license pictures and you guys are babies!! (wow I love the vibe of confidence I get from her)


Hmm i can't think of any more right now but I probably will later. The funny thing is regardless of all her comments she's still approving us for the loan :). So the random questions aren't really phasing me, they just make me laugh!
