Justin's Tower

Furniture!

Moving is almost over

Woohoo! We have almost everything moved. There are only a few miscellaneous items in the old house. It's amazing how much stuff we had crammed into that little house. We brought it over here and spread it all out. I'll post some pics tomorrow when it's not so late.

Moving Update

The big move has been postponed for about a week. We did not pass the electrical inspection on the first try; however, everyone that we've talked to says you never do. There's always some little thing that just not quite right. I was upset when I first heard, but in all honesty I'm not packed and the house needs a good cleaning before we move in. So keep your fingers crossed that we get everything wrapped up in the next few days.

To summarize the progress this week....

• Carpet in the bedrooms and upstairs
• Septic tank installed and plumbing almost finished
• Touchup painting on walls and molding
• Appliances are being delivered tomorrow
• Finishing cable, phone, internet wiring + speaker system intalled by J.Little (our neighbors may soon hate this feature!)

Pretty Lights

I never realized how much lights can change the looks of a house. It's honestly weird to be able to walk in a room and flip on a light switch. The house looks wonderful and so far everything is working. We just need to purchase a different light for our bathroom and one more floodlight for outside.

Keep your fingers crossed that the electrical inspection actually occurs on Wednesday and that we pass. If we can get past that, I think we just might move in this weekend and close on the loan the next week.

Finished Flooring

A few pics of the hardwood floor, tile and screened in porch.

Almost Finished

It's been a long week, but alot of work has been completed. If all of the inspections are passed next week, we'll be moving in next weekend and closing on the mortgage on Aug 12. Keep your fingers crossed!

The bathroom and kitchen countertops have been installed. The guest bathrooms just have white marble. Our master bath was supposed to be this pretty cream color with speckles. It's hard to tell in the last picture, but that is me comparing the sample to what was installed. The countertop we received is gray with speckles. While it is a beatiful top and would look great with white cabinets, it just doesn't fit in our bath. The marble place has agreed to make us a new top that is more cream/brown/tan. They said the sample we picked is very difficult to make.
