The builder locked down the house this weekend so they could control exactly who goes in when - just to make sure nothing bad happens in the final days. Apparently they've had issues with this in the past. So, we haven't been to the house since lunchtime on Friday. They have everything inside pretty much done - just a couple of very minor things to be finished up on Monday. We have our final walk-thru tomorrow at 11 am, which they said would take about 2 hours. Not sure how it could possibly take that long - it's not that big of a house and we've been there everyday but that's cool. The final inspection happened on Friday afternoon and the house passed contingent on the exterior being finished - meaning the driveway, trim paint and the front yard all still need to be finished. It was unclear to us whether all of that needs to be complete before we close or just "sometime." The weather forecast for this week is looking much better so there's hope it all could get done by Wednesday. It would be great to have it all done and not have to worry about it but either way it'll be fine.
We made a huge dent in packing today. The boys were great helpers and sorted and packed all of their toys, games, puzzles and books without a fuss. I still need to tackle the kitchen but really, I don't think that'll take too long. After that it's our clothes and bedding - NBW. We're hoping to be able to move enough stuff on Wednesday and Thursday that we'll be able to start living in the house by Thursday evening!
Here are some pictures I took on Thursday - it was the first time we were able to see the hardwood floors finished. They turned out really beautiful. We couldn't be happier with the end result.
3 days to go!
