Tag: The HouseEmily @ 9:16 pm

Amazing…the house looks pretty much finished. Other than carpet (which they don’t install until right before the walk-thru), vent covers, painting the front and garage doors, and massive cleanup cleanup cleanup, I can’t find anythign that’s left to do! Yay!

I hadn’t gone to the house since Sunday (I know, I’m a slacker). I figured that we’re really near the end and there wouldn’t be much change. Today I saw:
-windowsills were all installed and painted
-more touch-ups were done
-the final coat of paint was done
-towel bars and toilet paper holders were installed in the bathrooms
-the bathroom mirrors were installed
-all closet and pantry shelving was installed

They still have two repairs to do that we will not move in unless completed. The bathroom wall that Rick said he would get ripped out and replaced got caulked instead, and one of the baseboards in the garage is about 1.5 inches above the ground. Don’t know how they didn’t notice that…duh

Overall, the house looks great and we’re getting really really excited. We got an awesome loan rate locked in, finalizing paint colors, budgeting for things we need (fridge, washer/dryer), getting homeowner’s insurance squared away, and getting antsy to move in!

I took some videos of the house today, along with a few pictures. I barely got the pictures before the battery died. I’ll get some more tomorrow or Saturday. Hopefully we’ll get the videos up by tomorrow night. Check back to see those.
