Soooo...it still looks like an August start/mid-October close unless the builder can bump another house down the list.  VERY upsetting/frustrating as my timeline is so tight and they've known that from the start.  The current schedule also has the start smack dab in the middle of family visiting for a week and the close smack dab in the middle of out of town Guests visiting for a week. 

The processor supposedly worked on my loan today, but I'm guessing I won't hear anything on that for a few weeks anyway.  Still waiting for the dust to settle on the student loans and credit reporting.
