House Update

We've been watching the progress on our house on a weekly basis...it's going so fast now! The only thing left on the outside of the house is to lay the roof tiles and to paint it (and when we went this weekend the trim was painted...the pictures below are from last week). They also had cleaned out the whole inside of the house which means the interior work will start in the next week or two.

So, we were super excited about this when we went by this weekend but we were still thinking our move in date would be probably around the beginning of July. However, when I went into work yesterday, I had a voice mail waiting for me from earlier in the week. It was our agent, Sara, and she told me that we had a walk-through date set for us on May 26. WHAT?! Seven weeks? Are you freakin kidding me? A walk-through date means that you meet with the superintendent of the job and the agent (Sara) and walk through the house, make sure everything looks ok, go through how everything was built, etc. Then if there are problems, the builder has three days to correct it. So, three days after the walk through we get our keys. HOLY CRAP. That means we will be in our house by May 31. As exciting as that is, it's a little freaky... we weren't expecting it to be so soon and we still have so much to do-pack up our apartment, buy blinds, refridgerator, washer, dryer, get homeowner's insurance... YIKE! So, we're super excited but at the same time it is a little overwhelming... this process has been so fun, though.
