Well, we're down to 2 weeks away from the closing meeting aka we get our keys and move in. Needless to say, we're quite excited this Valentine's Day.
- The washer and dryer were brought upstairs last weekend, courtesy of our dads. Assembling those pedestals and putting the heavy washer and dryers on said pedestals were a day that I'll remember every time I look at them. (So will my back.)
- Energy Guide! Yay!
- And the dryer. Steph's holding the recent pain in the ass behind her...
- If you've ever looked behind your dryer, you'll know that the flex pipe that Steph is holding goes from the exhaust of the dryer to the exhaust pipes out of the house. Well, it's not exactly like putting a square peg in a round hole, but it's about as annoying. Thankfully, the builder (after I personally failed) said that he would assist with the installation of the dryer exhaust.
- Master bedroom closet, Steph's side.
- Master bedroom closet, my side.
- Carpet was laid in the crawlspaces beside our sides of the closet. This is where I will be hiding when I forget to finish the laundry.
- Master bathroom, Joey's vanity.
- Master bathroom, Steph's vanity and make-up area.
Note to self, invest in this:
- Joey's throne in the master bathroom.
- Master bathroom shower, all tiled and caulked up.
- Little dirt from Dad's furniture mover on the top of the steps. That'll be cleaned sometime during this 3-day weekend.
- Front porch view of the sidewalk walk around...
- ... and from the garage.
- I have a truck, and I have a house. I have a fiancee also, but she's somewhere in the house.
- There she is!
- The outside plug for the back-up generator.
-
- Our builder layed the concrete slab for the back patio.
- If memory serves me correctly, which they normally don't, I believe these are where the water drains are for the gutters. The gutters come off the house down into the side gutters; instead of spilling out onto the topsoil, they flow into plastic underground piping that go into what can be described as a tent. From there, the water in the 'tent' gets disbursed into the ground.
- Septic tank in the front yard. I just hope we never have this problem:
- The completed house next to my grandparent's home.
MOVIE TIME!!!!
- Video of the driveway coming up. It has the smaller blue stone down so that the driveway doesn't feel like a roller coaster anymore. Where my truck is parked is a small turnaround that is also blue stoned.
- Front yard pan of the yard (can't wait for Spring and the glass to grow...). My property line ends where the field begins. I'd imagine that we'll be popular if/when we get a lot of snow.
- Don't ask me why I took this, but I want to re reminded at some point that the meter on the outside of the house actually went this slow.
Well, that's it. We go to closing on the 27th of this month, then it's moving time! Will give a fresh blog update when we start to get things all moved in.
- Joey
