Just when you thought it was safe to visit Lowe's

Seriously? 

I only say this because I'm buying carpet from Lowe's for the FL house so I can rent that bitch.  So I have selected carpet and signed the contract and they've charged my credit card, and I get a call from those dumbshits Lowes to tell me that if they cut Berber carpet on an angle, it might pull the loops and they either need to put metal over the edges or we should select different carpet. Now as I said, I've already paid for this, and for Gods' sake, the (expletive deleted) house has Berber carpet in it now without edges. But what the shit do I know......so I confirm with the realtor that people won't freak out in the future and tell them to do it.  But wouldn't it have been nice to know all of this crap BEFORE I signed the contract, since they clearly had the drawings and measurements??????

Closing on the LA house next week. I'm excited! As a side note to this, how bleeping long does it take to get an appraisal back? They've been farting around with this for about a week now, and they can't be that busy at them moment.

I hate it when work calls sudden meetings with no explanation and no agenda like they did last night. I was just about half convinced they had made a deal to sell this fucker before I had been here 3 months. Thank God that when I checked this morning, it's going to be a strategy session.

Thats all for today.
