Walk-thru and Closing

They're fine-tuning the house and we have our final walk-thru on October 5th. We close on the house on October 11. Woo hoo! Unfortunately, we have been so busy that we haven't started packing yet...but hopefully we'll be able to get some done tonight.

We have our closing date!!

We close on October 11! Holy moly do we need to get our butts in gear!! We have our quarterly monitoring for foster care (inspections to make sure our house is clean and following the codes and rules) on Wednesday night and then we plan to kick it into high gear and start packing for our move. Wow!

Carpet, Door Knobs, and a Problem 9-21-07

The carpet and doorknobs have been installed. We noticed a couple of problems though, so the builder is going to have the flooring people come out and fix the landing on the stairs as well as plane the upstairs so it's all even where the boards come together and then re-install the carpet. That was all supposed to have been fixed before the carpet even went down in the first place. I'll show pictures later tonight or tomorrow though.

Security System -- 9-19-07

We went over and met with the security system people at the house last night (9-19) to go over what plan we wanted so they could get that installed and set up for us as the wiring for it has already been done.

It's really cool that it will tell you all throughout the house which doors to the outside are opening. So, if the little ones are downstairs playing and I have to run upstairs for any reason and one of them opens the front door or the back door, it will tell me that the door is opening so that I can get down there really fast.

Mirrors, Electrical Covers, and our Doorbell -- 9-19-07

They put in our mirrors today. They also have our electrical covers installed as well as the doorbell now. We just didn't take pictures of those.
