WE PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We failed

So we had a final inspection yesterday and we failed. We need house numbers up, change a smoke detector to a combo w/ carbon monoxide, put sheetrock up under the stairs (in the closet) and get the well log on a DEC form. Two of the four are fixed already, the other two we are waiting on the well driller and electrician for. We have another inspection Monday; then we can hopefully move in!!

Wednesday is the BIG day

After two dr appointments for the boys yesterday I ran to the surveyors office and picked up the "plot plan". I then realized if I quickly ran home and grabbed Taina and the paperwork I could get to the building department before they closed. I got there (and the woman kept looking at the clock...clam down hun...you have 25 minutes left). She scheduled us for Wednesday @ 2:30. Please pray that we don't have G-E-O-R-G-E!! I then asked about getting our CO and moving in...she informed me that the guys don't get back to the office until 4pm and then they give the paperwork to "Joan" but she won't look at it until Thursday morning, and she is quite busy so it will be a couple of days before we receive our CO to move in...expect it Mon or Tues she told me....yeah ok!!! I will be so happy to not have to deal with "them" anymore!!!

We went and ordered furniture today. We got our bedroom set(in king), Taina's bedroom set, bunkbeds for Manny and a sectional for upstairs. It is so exciting with everything coming together!

Still waiting

We are still waiting on the surveyor so we can submit paperwork and get a final inspection. He was supposed to go out last week and didn't. He was to go yesterday (don't know if he did) and we haven't heard that our paperwork is ready yet. OH please hurry Mr. Surveyor!

Dad finished the tile downstairs and it looks BEAUTIFUL!!!! Mom finished painting the trim and stairs.....everything is pretty much done.

Completion is in sight

Dad and Richie worked on the railings today...and will hopefully find a day to finish them before the end of the week. All of our paperwork is almost complete...need to turn that in to get a final inspection. We are waiting on the surveyor to come out and plot the deck and septic on the map and get that to us then we are ready for an inspection.......and MOVE ON IN!!!!!!!

So here is a partial shot of the master bath


See how well my shower curtain matches the tile (just a coincidence I swear)


The deck minus the stairs....next week we hope

Work

I worked at the house today. I finished cleaning the dust from the fans and wiped down the bathrooms. I hung the shower curtain in our bathroom; it matches the tile perfectly!!! (and that is just coincidental) I then painted all the wood supports in the closets so that Dad can put the rods and shelves in. I have plans on going back tomorrow to touch up the baseboard trim and doors and paint the other doors that need to be painted. Dad grouted the bathroom and hung the mirror. The dark wood looks beautiful against the sage walls (I'll take pictures tomorrow). He finished tiling everything downstairs (was a lot to do) and tomorrow he will hopefully finish the deck (minus the stairs) and hang the doors downstairs. We need the deck stairs and the bathroom downstairs to be completed so that we can call for an inspection for a CO. Hopefully by the end of next week all will be done!!!
