Closing date looks like it will be pushed back

We talked to the builder representative last night over the phone. It looks like our Sept. 30 deadline is in jeopardy. The reason given is that they are having difficulty with their brick distributor. If they cannot get our brick delivered by... well today (the end of August) then they will probably not be able to make the closing date targeted at Sept. 30.

The Brick distributors latest estimated delivery at this point is on or before Sept. 8th.... We have not heard what the estimated closing date would be yet.

We are also looking at the possibility of a bridge loan or even the possibility of short term lease on the house. I would REALLY prefer to not rent the house out.

So I don't know if the new house closing date slip is a blessing in disguise or not. TBD I guess.
