Plenty of updates

Currently we are less then 2 weeks out from the house being completed. After our walk-thru, the builder will send over the ready to close form and approximately 10 days or less we will close. They tentatively have us closing on October 11th.

To get up to speed we will mention what was completed last week {9*20-9*24}

-The kitchen counter tops and sink went in on Monday.

-Plumbers were there most of the week. We have toilets, sinks and running water.

-electrician came in and finished all the hook-ups. It's neat to even see light bulbs installed!

-The lot was cleaned, leveled, yellow sand was laid (for nutrients),

irrigation was installed and landscaping started (sod and 2nd tree to follow)

-Propane tank and tank-less water heater went in and the propane take was filled.

-End of this week the flooring had begun to be installed.

The coming week will include:

-wood floors to be completed on Monday {takes 3 days to install}
-Sod and tree to also be placed on Monday

-hanging of doors and door knobs

-construction clean up

-Dry wall punch. This means the painters come back in and go over all the walls with a fine-toothed comb to ensure touch-ups are complete and there are no blemishes.

By weeks end we are to have our insurance carrier picked because carpet should be installed the following week!!!! Once Howard {builder} has a walk-thru with his boss it will then be our turn to walk-thru with him.

We're down to the wire and our inpatients is soaring high. More to follow soon!

Weeks {5} and part of {6}!!!

It's really amazing how far this house has come. Technically it is only {6} weeks old and is ALMOST ready to be lived in! {{AMAZING}}!!

A lot more has been done since the last entry. There is a roof, insulation, dry wall that has been mudded and patched, doors and windows! We try to get to the house every evening, but lately we find that waiting a day longer allows us to see a bigger difference in what has been done. It is also tough to get good light inside now that there are walls so taking pictures becomes difficult.

This coming week {9.7} they have planned to paint, pour the driveway/walkway/front porch and tile the foyer and bathrooms. We'll have a fully tiled master shower and the surrounds will be tiled in both bathtubs.

I've been having a very strong feeling of the date {9.27}. We'll see if that date has any meaning---pray it does because we'd REALLY like the tax credit which expires {9.30}
