The straw that broke the camel's back was actually a dryer

Warning this may be long and it's definitely a rant/vent

So, Andrew and I put in an offer on the house we're currently in. When we put the offer in we stipulated that we wanted a garage built. We were told the house would be finished in 14 days and that the garage would take 30-45 days after the initial 14. Ok that's cool. They let us do possession before close so we could live in the house while waiting for the garage to be finished. Well it took them 21 days to finish the house. We moved in on the 11th and gave them a laundry list of things to be fixed on top of the few minor things found in our home inspection. To date nothing we requested be fixed has been fixed. Also, they have not started work on my garage yet. They keep giving me different excuses every time I call and I'm freaking over it! We can't close until the garage is built and there is no way we're going to be ready by our close date of July 12th because THEY HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED THE FREAKING GARAGE!!!!! Oh yeah and this weekend my septic system broke and I had to basically throw a hissy fit go get it fixed. Friday we noticed there was a hole in our backyard and cracked pipe it was late but we notified the realtor and she contacted the builder who said someone would be out first thing Saturday morning and we should just try not to use a ton of water. OK I understand that at 10pm no plumber is coming to my house. Well 10am on Saturday rolls around no plumber I contact the realtor (again) and she contacts the builder who informs her the plumber who installed the system is out of town until monday so we should just live with it. UMMM NO!!!!!!! This is where the hissy fit came in. I spoke with the builder and informed him he was in breach of contract since the house was not livable and that he would either fix it, put us up in a hotel if he couldn't, or we were walking away from the house. He finally send two of his guys out here to fix it at almost 7pm, but at least it got fixed. Add to this the fact that my TMO shipment came in missing a box that was clearly mislabeled as what is missing is not what was listed on the inventory. TMO broke my freaking dryer knobs off and the movers gouged the linoleum in our laundry room (the house isn't even a month old!). I also discovered today that the snapped the support in the back of my couch the one I only bought 4 months ago and haven't quite finished paying off! Then tonight was the straw that broke the camels back. I realized Andrew had left all our laundry detergent at a friends and I have no way of contacting that friend and of course Andrew is gone. So, I went to the store I bought laundry detergent and dryer sheets. I also picked up the drain house for our washing machine because that was conveniently missing from our TMO shipment. I went to hook up the dryer which meant I had to move the washer and dryer. Moved them both hooked up the vent hose for the dryer went to plug it in and the plug won't fit in the outlet in our house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm freaking over it. I officially hate this house it's like the house from h-e-double hockey sticks. It's done nothing but taunt me since we moved in. So now I have to go to Lowe's tomorrow buy a new plug and change the plug on the back of my dryer.
