After driving by the property today and seeing no markers anywhere, I contacted my realtor.

She contacted the surveyors who said they finished the property this afternoon and would have the paperwork sent to her tomorrow by lunch time.  

Although I am thoroughly elated that this portion of this thing is done, I am left in bewilderment that I saw no markers anywhere.  Perhaps I needed to get out of the vehicle and walk around looking? Specifically the front, northeast section of the property.  I need  at least a corner stake!

I guess I might have missed it, I just drove by it slowly looking the entire length of the front of the property.  I didn't have time to get out and look.  If I can't find any, I will be contacting that company and asking them about it.  I will also be looking at the survey and reading the field notes.  

Regardless, it is hopeful that next Friday we will be closing on the property.  No guarantees, the lender has to get the appraisal done and apparently the title company has to be satisfied with the survey as well.  

That was news to me, I only knew about the appraisal needing it, not the title company.  As far as I knew, the title company has been appeased.  

Well whatever, this long, patience-trying process may - and I stress may - finally be coming to an end.  

I don't want to go into the first moves I am going to make, I've done that already several times over.  

I just want to get STEP 1 over with, pleeeeeeeeease.  Step one is closing on the property.  

Well anyway, it's bedtime. Actually it's past bedtime but I was hanging with the kids as we haven't seen each other in 2 weeks and James and Taylor wanted to go to Walmart to replace a broken coffee maker.  I have an Oklahoma run in the morning - 2cd load - and I need to get rested for that.  It's likely going to be a 16 hour day - try to get it all done in one day and get home so I can go out on Saturday to the property and see about any kind of markers on that property!  

G'nite.
