Final Walk Through

On Monday, October 10th Dan and I met up with Ed, our construction manager, to do a final walk through of our new house. We met up with Ed at the house just before 3:00 p.m. This was my first time seeing the house all "done" and I was in absolute awe!

We started in the kitchen and slowly went from room to room discussing the details of the specific space. All along the way we tested lights, doors, windows, the hot/cold water and other room features to make sure that everything was working properly and met our standards and personal requests. We found a few bums and bruises along the way but nothing dramatic. We were told that most of the items are rather easy fixes for the builders.

When we stepped out of the house to discuss the exterior, I heard a car honk and someone yelling, "Hey! I know you!" My first thought was "Who in this neighborhood knows us and is that excited to see us?" Ha ha! Turns out it was Linda and her daughter Jessica - friends from our church. They pulled into our driveway and we started chatting. What excellent timing!

Once Dan and I finished our final walk through we went over the list of items that Ed was going to have fixed/adjusted/replaced. We signed off on the walk through and called it a day.

Our apartment is pretty much all packed up and we were both way too tired to cook, so we made a quick stop at Taco Bell just down the street from our house. A trip to T-Bell seems to be our rather unusual tradition after anything major takes place with our house. Ha ha!

We were still quite tired from the youth group lock-in and then a full day of work, so we both zonked out while watching TV in the family room. We both woke up to watch the latest episode of House but as soon as it was over we both got ready for bed.

While my Michigan cold has come and gone, it appears that it didn't go too far. Poor Dan is now dealing with my cold. He seems to be dealing with a full-blown cold, so hopefully that means that it will pass within the next day or so.
