That would be nice. Meanwhile, I'm now in the middle of the home-purchase from hell....

Like in "Mister Blanding Builds His Dream House", starring Cary Grant?

I haven't seen that film. (Oddly, this morning I caught a bit of 'The Circus' with Charlie Chaplin.)

Currently, it seems that we have to jump through all sorts of inflexible hoops. Things could *only* be done at times that are completely inconvenient. It took hours of negotiating to get things set right.

Not only are the hoops inflexible, but they are engulfed in hellish flames, right? My best wishes to you.

Right now, I am taking the position that all the employees, servants, and hangers-on of KB Home (including Martha Stewart), deserve to be roasted eternally in Hell. I will be happy to stoke the fires.
