Because I wrote an entry last night, there is nothing to write about this morning. We will be signing loan documents at 1:30PM today. We are waiting for movement on the topo survey in regard to comments made internally. Do topo surveys get recorded? I still need to get closet doors for the newest tenant.…

Not a lot on which to report. Jim, I love him, has been a little frustrated with the HELOC lender. He keeps asking me for items or postpones the signing. Currently, we are scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30PM. When I slack in the morning, as I did today, the entire schedule gets thrown off and…
