Thanks Brant. How's things with your new house?
Seriously, renovating a house is NOT easy on a relationship, but both ARE progressing. Costs are high (with both), but so far things are manageable.
I'm meeting with a masonry contractor today to fix the fireplace and install a damper (and possibly a sleeve in the chimney as well as do some other minor tuck and point repairs to the masonry around the house.
I'm also going to spend some time with the plaster/drywall guy today outlining some of the framing and such that I want/need done that I don't have time to do. He's been going kind of slow to let me get work done, but I've got too much going with family (the kids and Robyn mostly) to give me much steady time down there to work.

Get a VERY good inspection done on the house. Speaking from experience, it's worth the money to find out ALL the issues with the house so you go in with your eyes wide open...

The only thing they changed was a closing date of the 17th and another title company.
