We Have a Date
OK, OK, I know I OWE SO MANY PICTURES!!!
But as mentioned before, I've been super busy and very frustrated with the process...so it's hard to work on this blog. I'll do a photo dump this weekend, but I just had to mention two things.
First, the post title hints at it...we have a date for closing!!! It's a 90% surety now. (since they have about 2 weeks of work to do and the closing is 6 weeks away...I think they can meet the date.) Anyway, the closing meeting is set for August 3rd at 9AM...so about an hour after that we'll be walking out of the meeting with keys to our new home! YAY!!!
Finally!
The main things they have left are the countertops, carpeting and staining the hardwood floors. Everything else basically seems ready. I'm sure there are a lot of little touches here and there, and they schedule people one at a time and spread them out, so everyone has their time to do their job. I can respect that, but it sure hurts waiting... You'll see pics this weekend and you'll see how far along they really are!
Secondly, one positive comment. (I promised our new home counselor Angie I would mention this.) You recall the mud-room bench I was so upset about? Well, she "fought" for us and they've decided to rebuild/adjust the bench to look like the model with the cut-out underneath for shoes and such. (So, that's a few days work, I'm sure...based on needing drywallers, painters and a tiler to fix it up.) So, yay to that!
It truly feels like the least they can do with all the problems we've had. Such as I'll always be concerned about the master bedroom closet wall, and the stone on the front of the house, the drain/wet-bar rough in down in the basement...but everything else they've fixed up and will be all good.
OK, so here's one quick "teaser" photo:
OK, so, look forward to some pics soon!
