Update

Things are finally settling down with the house. I have found no new problems for several days. On Saturday I received the certificates for the homestead exemption from Jefferson County. On Sunday I filled out the forms for the Denton and Collin appraisal district homestead exemptions. Yesterday I took them down to post office in The Colony. The Frisco Lakes community center will have its grand opening on January 19. I am going to wait until Saturday to go see the finished facility. On Sunday there is going to be breakfast. I have decided to go to that since they changed from a continental to a full breakfast.

 

The UltiMate garage cabinet people have not responded to my email which is not a good sign. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the doctor. After the appointment, I intend to go to Sears again and see if they are able to recommend someone who can assemble their cabinets. I calculated the cost of the cabinets from Sears. They often have sales where everything is at least ten percent off. That would be a nice savings. I have no idea how much labor to assemble them would cost, but I have a feeling the total would be much less than the garage cabinet companies that I have talked to have estimated. The man who owns the framing company left his card. I noticed the word "cabinet" is included in his company's name. I think I will call him and find out if he can recommend someone to assemble cabinets.

 

I still have not received the final papers on the closing of the Beaumont house. The woman who handled the closing called on December 27 and said she had ordered copies of the papers to be sent to me. On Thursday I talked to her assistant, and she assured me the papers would be sent the next day. Yesterday I emailed the first woman who is a vice president of the company and told her I need the papers for my records and income tax preparation. She promptly responded. She was very apologetic and said she had been out due to family problems. She said she would have them overnighted to me via UPS. I do hope they arrive today.
