Trouble

We packed up to leave camp and found that the landing gear on the trailer wouldn't work properly. Another camper told us that the problem was that the shear pin had broken on the shaft that moves the legs up and down had broken. We went to the nearest RV repair place and they sent us to the local hardware store to get the shear pin. The hardware store sold us bolts to replace the shear pin. When we tried that idea out we found out that the bolt was to long so we had another trip to the hardware store to get the correct size bolt. When we got the bolt in we found that the legs wouldn't go up all the way. The problem was that another shear pin was broke in a different location, fortunately we had a bolt that would fit that part of the mechanism and now everything thing works as it should.
Then we get a call on the cell phone from our realtor saying that the bank wanted to close tomorrow at 11am. Okay, we can do that we say and continue getting things ready for moving the trailer. All little while later we get a call from our realtor saying the Title company hadn't gotten the documents from the Probate Court it needed to pass papers and the meeting was off until they get the documents.
I remember asking about this before, whether the house was properly the owners and had been assured that it was all in place. I should have known better, most people don't have a clue about Probate or the passing of property from a deceased person to another. I have had this experience before in buying real estate. Let me tell you this can turn into a nightmare real quick and delay things from closing for weeks or even months.
So here we sit betwixt and between.
