I can barely believe it myself, but our final walk-thru is finally tomorrow! Hasn't time flown by rather quickly? I know, i know...it's like the words I never thought i'd say myself, especially with all that has happened. But at the end of the day, the time has really flown by.
My sister-in-law and I drove over to the house this evening and contractors were busy with all the final touches. There will people painting, people finishing the trim around the doors, people making sure the gas and electric meters were working, etc. It was a full house, that's for sure!
One thing that surprised me was that our ground has been graded and all the nasty "grass" has been removed and is smooth, flat dirt! I can't wait to be able to put in a lawn, which is still something we aren't exactly sure of when we are doing. It may be in the fall, it may be in the spring...who knows!
Something else that surprised me is just how huge our yard is. I know that we have .38 acres, but to me that doesn't sound like all that much, but it is. Don't get me wrong - I couldn't be happier to have so much space to call our own, but it's crazy to see how big it looks now that our house is up and the ground has been cleared and graded. Sort of crazy, but I actually think our land looks larger now that there is a house on a property than before when it was just land with all sorts of tall grass growing.
Also, on a somewhat unrelated topic, I bought the wall-mount bracket for our TV today. I must share the website since I got it for a steal, and even with shipping included it was about 10% of the price that BestBuy is charging for the SAME one! http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp
Okay, i'll give the update tomorrow...wish us luck!!! :)
