Our Final Walk-Through

We completed our final walk-through today. I was nervous and excited all rolled into one. I couldn't wait to see the finished product and all our selections come together. In order to keep myself on track, I went with a room by room checklist. (I can post that later if anyone is interested.) Our PM started with all the paperwork, warranties, and "boring" stuff. Then, we walked the house.   

We had a roll of tape to mark anything we saw an issue with. There were really only a couple minor things- a paint bubble, an imperfection in the drywall area where the wall meets the ceiling, a small spot of paint on the floor in the bathroom, and a cabinet door that someone drilled through and then tried to repair. All of that will be taken care of. We're not worried about it. We were VERY happy with the attention to detail. We cannot wait to move in! (Now, if only I could find some magical packing fairies to box our current place up!)

We just can't believe this day has come already. It seems like just last week we wandered into a model home "just looking" and to get some info! The time has flown by! 

Now we wait for closing! HURRY UP AND BE FRIDAY ALREADY! 

Until then, here are some pictures:

This picture is from a couple days ago. The sprinklers were going so we didn't take any exterior pictures

2 weeks. 14 days!!

That's it. 14 days until we go to closing and have our keys! I can hardly believe that we have made it to this point. 5 months ago to the day, we walked into a model home on a whim. I would have never dreamed I was actually going to build a house. This will be our first home. Tomorrow is our 5 year wedding anniversary. So, this is all very fitting. In case you weren't aware, the 5 year anniversary traditional gift is wood. So here you go honey, here's a great big hunk of wood! 

Please excuse the car in the driveway, the landscapers were still there when I drove by this afternoon. Yesterday they gave us a mailbox and poured our driveway. Today, they "installed" our lawn and landscaping! It is looking AWESOME!! I have not seen inside since May 20, and it feels like an eternity until our PM gives us his "grand reveal" on June 13. 

I love that our PM takes pride in his work and wants to do a grand reveal. It took a lot of faith, and there have been days that I have nearly caved and begged him to let me inside. However, I know that we will be so excited for our pre-settlement walk through on the 13th!

Now for a brief update... I know my last post was quite the rant. We were pretty upset. We were not getting the solution we wanted. (for the opener to be removed and for us to be credited the $550) After not getting an answer in the time we were told we would and then getting a no, we decided to just put it out there in our blog and social media. I will say that RH did notice. After some back and forth, we were able to get the garage door opener removed and was credited the $550. We are so happy about this. We immediately went shopping and got the garage door opener we wanted, on sale and got a military discount on top of that. We are so pleased. Now, if I can just get it installed. 

Here it is:

All is well in the world again. So much stress over something so small.
