One more week to go!

On Sunday we took our dogs to the house for the first time.  We hadn't taken them earlier because of all the debris on the floor.  One of our dogs is blind and the other one eats a lot of random things on the floor if given the chance.  So, it was best to wait until the flooring was completed.

They sniffed around a lot and the blind one (Yoda) made his way around very cautiously.  After about 10 minutes, they seemed to settle a bit.  It's going to be an adjustment for him, but once all the familiar smells are in there he will be just fine.

After the morning visit, I returned with just my daughter in the afternoon.  My husband went to a baseball game (with our PM, actually!) so we had some nice girl time.   Picnic on the floor!

Once again, we didn't want to leave.  But it won't be long until we are in that house for good!  Closing is a week away!!

This last week is filled with a lot of last minute items:

Today - sod should have been put down and backsplash was installed!
Tuesday - Independant Inspector checks out the house
Wednesday - Ryan Homes inspection
Thursday - Final walkthrough!

Oh, and speaking of backsplash.  Of COURSE there's an issue with the tile company AGAIN!  Honestly, I'm never recommending these people to anyone.   When talking to our PM before we settled on the backsplash he told us that we could do the backsplash with or without the granite lip.  We wanted the lip removed so it would be a cleaner look.  No problem.  We heard from our PM today that the tile company wasn't going to remove the lip behind the sink.  Um no.  So, our PM said that he would make sure it was getting done, because in the last house he did that's what they got so we should get the same.  Again, can't say enough good things about our PM.  I'm not sure if that means that Ryan Homes will eat the cost of them doing that or what but all I know is that it will get done the way it should be thanks to him being on top of things today with the foreman from the tile company.  So much drama with tile.  I never want to deal with putting tile in again.

I am sure that I will post numerous times this week with updates and pictures of everything that is getting done before closing.  This last week is exciting!   Now if only I could find the motivation (and time) to pack!
