Carpet

Today the carpet was installed! I had to be out there when they were working so I could "grade" their work when they were done. I thought it looked great! It was also fun to see everything that was done by the plumbers and electricians.

Yesterday our final inspection went ok, but they had 2-3 small things that needed to be changed before they would give us the occupancy certificate. Our builder got them done today but then none of the inspectors could come out this afternoon, so we're going to have to wait until Tuesday (Monday is a government holiday) to get it done. That makes things a little close for our closing on Friday, but we were able to talk to the appraiser and instead of her waiting until after the final inspection she will come out on Sunday when we are there and her appraisal would just be contingent on the occupancy certificate. So, I think we should be find to close on the 25th. I can't believe how many stressful last minute details there are! If they all don't go as planned it really makes a mess of things.

Tomorrow we will tile the top of the whirlpool tub and Joe will finish the walls of the surround. Sunday we'll be back grouting the tile so the appraiser can finish that afternoon. It isn't exactly fun weather to be driving around all weekend, but good thing all of the projects are inside!
