I just got back from Arizona at about 2am this morning where I put a house under contract. We had been watching 5 houses for a couple months, made plans to go out and look and 4 of the 5 went under contract a few days before we got there! My house here in Maine is under contract and closing on 5/15 then closing in AZ on 5/24.

My house here failed the septic exam so I have to have a new tank and leach field put in before the closing.

I hired movers a couple weeks ago, they gave me a delivery window in AZ of 5/20 - 5/24. I made the deal on the house, sellers couldn't close until 5/24, informed the movers that I couldn't take delivery of my belongings until the 5/24 date and they informed me that would be an additional 6k! So now with less than two weeks to go I am trying to find another mover!

I have also hired vehicle shippers for my truck, my mustang and my two motorcycles.

Rented a 25' RV and booked campgrounds across the country figuring about 8 - 10 hours of driving per day. So that will take about 6 days give or take, leaving Maine 5/15 and arriving in AZ on 5/21, 3 days before the closing. Then we'll hole up in an RV park until the closing. This is all well and good but I have 6 cats so it's going to be a long 10 days in the RV.

I've been planning this move for a long time, I'm glad it's finally coming to fruition, but I've never been so stressed out in my life!
