Apparently at the end of the fiscal year for the builder, people are switched around the developments. This means that the sales staff that we've dealt with is gone and we have a new builder as well. While it is disconcerting to have changes right before our last few weeks of construction, Brad did get a chance to meet with the new builder, the assistant builder and the quality person. They were responsive and listened to all of our concerns. They believe that they will be ready to close on February 28th.
We now have a driveway and walkway to the front door. They measured for the counter tops last week so they should come next week. Grading, sod and landscaping should happen this week and then they'll start the hardwood floor. The alarm people installed the key pads and the intercom speakers, but they made a few errors so they need to come back. At this point, the details are mounting. It is probably a good thing that I am not able to leave school all day because I'd be out there every day obsessing over everything.
Oh, they installed the wrong door. After coating the first door in paint, they installed the wrong glass. Not that this is a bad looking door, but I think we asked for the door with no lines- just glass. In the future, that glass will be replaced by an original Dennis Lafer custom stained glass door.
To add to our insanity, we have taken in two more kittens. They are adorable and much friskier than our old, fat, cuddly cats. This way there are the same number of cats as kids in the house. We had kitty litter scooper training tonight so that everybody can share in the yucky chores that come with pet ownership.
Bishop wrecked his car. He's been driving for less than a month. Yes, I predicted it. I should've gotten a betting pool going. Luckily, he was unharmed. He hit a friend's large truck, which was barely scratched, smashing up a headlight and taking out the power steering. He's suffering car/freedom withdrawal while his parents have no sympathy for him.
