Today is our pre-settlement walk-through on the house. I'm so excited I think I might pass out. I drove by yesterday, early afternoon, to check on the progress. They painted our front door to match the shutters (it's a very deep green), touched up the bay window and it looked as though there was a cleaning crew inside. My favorite? Someone took their shoes off and left them by the door. Now that is VERY considerate. :) They had also mulched and planted a few random bushes out front - probably in an attempt to "hide" the large electrical meter on the front of our house. I'm assuming they put down instant grass rollup as well (sod).
They have already started building the new row beside us. CRAZY. So we'll have some construction for a few months, but at least we know it only takes approximately 6 months for these things to go up. Our row has 9 units - not sure about the new building, maybe it'll go up faster. But once it's done we're finished with construction. Houses are already in place behind us, in front of us, and on the other side. I think we can wait out a few more months of banging for a brand new joint.
So today we do the walk-through. I'm a little nervous I'm going to miss things but I'm taking a notebook (bought a new one just for the house - CGH made fun of me) and my flip cam (just in case). Not sure how our project manager will feel if I flip cam him explaining how to work certain things... Poor Dan.
THIS TIME NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE HOMEOWNERS. WOOHOO!!!
