House update

It's been a few weeks since the last update, and much has happened since then!  The brick work was completed.  All of the plumbing, HVAC and electric were done and inspected.  The house was insulated.  We had our pre-drywall walk through last Friday.  Everything looks great.  We only have one issue to resolve which is how the wood floors will flow from the foyer into the great room and kitchen.  I don't want there to be a break from wood floor to carpet, but there doesn't seem to be a real good logical way to start the carpet without separating the wood floors.  We'll figure it out though.

This week, drywall was hung.  It's weird that the rooms actually start looking bigger when the walls go up!  I stopped over Friday as the drywall crew was there.  I'm not sure of the flow to their work as some rooms had ceilings, some  had tops of walls and others had bottoms of walls.  But what I did see that was done, looked great.

So next week, they'll do the drywall taping and mudding which will take all week.  The siding will also proably get done so the outside will be near complete.  We should also get a close date by the end of next week.  It'll probably be done early to mid-April, so again, we're still super hopeful to get an offer on our house soon so we can move when the house is done instead of waiting until after May 1st.

 

On that note, we're up to 24 showings on the house - still lots of traffic and good feedback.  We do have a second showing tomorrow......keep your fingers crossed it turns into an offer!!
