We woke up, ate some breakfast and headed towards St. Louis. We were originally scheduled to close on our home in South Carolina on June 30th. However, the builder, McCar Homes, (we purchased a spec home) needed to sign a form stating there was a warranty in place. They refused. They had been advised by their attorney not to sign. OK, this doesn’t make any sense. When you purchase a new home, the builder gives a standard one year warranty to protect against just about anything. That’s the advantage of purchasing a new home. Why wouldn’t they sign it? Is their product that bad that they won’t warranty it? What is going on? Another warranty was purchased and we were moving forward. The closing date was moved to July 1st, then July 2nd.
My frustration level was growing. We would be in Greenville on July 2nd. However, we weren’t able to unload our stuff off the truck until July 3rd so the couple day delay wasn’t too big of an inconvenience.
We decided to stop at the St. Louis Arch. The boys had never been. Since we didn’t know when we’d be back that way, we thought it would be a great opportunity. All the kids enjoyed it. The Arch is truly an amazing piece of history. St. Louis has a lot to offer. I wish we had made the effort to visit as a family before we moved.
We left St. Louis and headed for Nashville, Tennessee. It was another late night of driving. I couldn’t wait to lay my head on the pillow. However, with everything going on, I needed the help of my friend, Ambien. Out like a light, sleeping soundly while chaos was brewing.
