The weird water tester... and a step forward

Last night we had a 4pm appt with the well guy. He called previous to the appt to tell Julia that he forgot his tools at home (?? #1) and could we bring a crescent wrench and a hammer so he could remove the well cap (since we can't run water in the damaged pipes indoors, our sample had to come straight from the source). We bring Xena to check out her new yard while it's nice and mild outside and she definitely enjoyed all the smells. The well guy shows up late and it turns out he needs slightly different tools to make it work, so he starts driving around nearby to find someone with the tools (?? #2) - he finds a guy who does motorcycle repair who asked him "You mean they finally found someone to buy that place?"... boy, that sounds encouraging...

He finally gets the rusty bolts free, runs a bottle down into the pipe and collects the sample.. all the while telling us repeatedly that he's conservative, and that he travels about 40 min to get his haircut at the Cornell Barber Shop because he can read Playboy while he's there (?? #3) To his credit, he was nice and even playful with Xena, he just seemed a little odd to the humans around.

Current Place in the Process:

• Accepted, signed offer has been returned to our realtor from the seller. It's really official and they can't back out now! Our lawyer has a copy, which he has 3 days to review to be sure there is nothing we need to change.
  
• Financial paperwork has all been submitted to our lender and she's begun entering the info for processing.
• All estimate appts for repairs (that will be built into the loan) have been completed and will be submitted to the lender as soon as we receive them.
• The well test has been performed and results on water quality and water hardness should be back by the end of the week.
