So close!

Almost there. The bank accepted the cancelled cheks - but now they want the utilities on before closing, with a reappraisal indicating that they are on. It's crazy!

The city refuses to turn on the water before closing, which I understand. Not to mention the fact the I don't want the water on with the broken pipe upstairs.
The furnace needs servicing - so while the gas is turned on, the furnace can't be turned on. Luckily there is a gas stove, so the appraiser could take a picture of the burners lit to prove the gas is on. And the electric is on.
It's now up to the bank, yet again. Who knows if they will accept the utilities as they are. We have the closing set tentatively for 4pm tomorrow.

These are the kind of things that gurus never tell you about.
