'Hiccup' in the Plan

We would appreciate your thoughts and prayers everyone.  Steve came in yesterday and said we have a 'hiccup' in the house buying process.

It is not a problem on our end, but since the roof inspector axed the roof, (it says on his report "due to severe hail damage" - and you sure cannot see it from the ground) we put a clause in the contract that it needed to be replaced to which the owner agreed if it is indeed damaged. Our insurance agreed to insure the house with a clause in the paperwork that says the roof will be changed by the owner's insurance company. However, the owner wants his insurance adjuster to look at it first - but it seems every single State Farm adjuster is in Joplin. They said it may be weeks or months before they can look at it... who knows when? 

We are not going to wait weeks or months. We have no idea what to do next except drop it and move on... he is not budging :-(

Our furniture will be arriving tomorrow - this all arranged because it looked like early occupancy was a go.  We found out yesterday that the owner had made this decision to wait on his adjuster.  Any good roof person could confirm or deny our reports to ease his fears, but he wants his insurance company to make that call.  Since this decision was made yesterday, our furniture was already being loaded in Houston so there was no turning it around.

We are securing a storage facility to put our stuff in.  However, once it is in that storage unit, as far as I am concerned, we can just drop the deal and look for another place.  We will have to move the furniture anyway, by ourselves, so that urgency is gone.

I cannot imagine moving the furniture into a unit and then 'when his agent gets here and confirms the damage' finish the proceedings and haul the equivalent of a 50' truck of furniture to the house... 2 weeks after it was delivered to a storage unit.  At that time we will have no professional movers, no man power, no huge truck to deliver it and no trailer to get it with.  Frustration doesn't even BEGIN to cover it.

If it is meant to be, it will happen.  If not, God needs me somewhere else, right?

Off to get a storage unit or two.  

And that is all I have to say about that...
