The value of good neighbors can not be overstated. The day we moved in here the next door neighbor made massive amounts of ribs to feed all the moving friends and family. I probably have the phone numbers and email addresses for a couple dozen people within blocks of me. We help each other out with simple things like rides, or major help and support when we get storms. And we party! Also, the kids can't get away with crap without a neighbor ratting them out.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

What could be the timetable from inspection to closing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, this is totally random, but: the other night, I was out to dinner with some friends, and one was describing going to a strip club in Japan. At first, she said it was too disturbing to talk about. Then, when she finally started talking, she opened with, "You know manga?" I was like, "THERE WERE TENTACLES?????"
I blame You People. I would never have know the disturbing side of the internet on my own.

Well, settlement date is 4/17 in the contract.
Explanation for the seller's flakiness is hasn't handled a property sale in probably 20 years. I guess he used to have an agent, but separated from that or something. He's licensed, just not so much with the practicing.

The neighbor response was good.
Oh, good. It would be a shame to have the threat of wackaloon neighbors looming over the new house before you even moved in.
I blame You People. I would never have know the disturbing side of the internet on my own.
I feel so proud. Does anyone else feel proud?

I have a funny feeling you are going to have a lot packed in the next couple of weeks the way you are talking. If there is a liquor/wine store nearby, get some boxes from them for your books. You can do boxes of books easy peasy. Of course, you will at some point run into an issue of where to put boxes if you start too early. you want to chat me up about some strategies, I am on online.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So. Tonight I had dinner at a Thai restaurant. They have a big LCD TV on the wall with Body of Lies playing. So I'm eating dinner while watching DiCaprio getting his fingers smashed with a hammer.
I should have asked them to turn it off....

I asked my facilities guy if I could have boxes (we're at the tail end of a move, so have all these nice moving boxes we don't reuse) so I should hear back from him Monday. He likes me, so likely. But I'll need smaller boxes for books because one of those filled up would be very, very heavy.
msbelle, email me your id for IM. I use google, and am new to the ways of IM, so...
