Movin' Right Along

Oh. My. Goodness. So much has happened within the last four days!!

Tuesday we got our settlement papers from the lawyers in the mail. Our tentative closing is schedule for March 29th! Our PM told us around the first or second week of April the house should be finished, so I'm not going to mark the 29th in ink on my calendar. It's no big deal if the house isn't done by the 29th because we have no rush to get out of where we are now- we can stay however long we need to. But to get those settlement papers and see this is all actually starting to happen was scary and exciting at the same time!

Later Tuesday night, I got an email from the SR that our mortgage has been approved and a loan approval letter would be coming in the mail shortly!

Since I live so close to my new home, I can't help but to drive by each day. I'm super excited! These guys sure know how to put a house up in no time. When I rode past on Monday, nothing had been worked on due to inclement weather, Tuesday the 2nd floor was up and by Wednesday the roof was on and it appears shingles are about to be put up next. I'm so fortunate to be able to swing by each day and get pics of the process.

Am I being too paranoid... ?!

Maybe I'm being too paranoid about this whole house thing, but should I be worried about this....? 
This meaning the entire bottom of the board on the left that is curved and all of the boards underneath that are submerged in that rain made pond...

Couldn't Resist...


I couldn't resist and had to go by the house again today. I stopped to ask the SR if we could walk through, but we weren't able to just set since only the first floor was framed. He said it wasn't structurally sound just yet and wasn't allowed to tell us to go through for safety issues- understandable, hence the reason we stopped to ask first! We can't be rebels just yet... LOL :) SR said the house should be up with the roof and all by Thursday and we could go through it with him then... if all goes accordingly then it seems we'll have a house built to walk through for Valentines Day!

DF gets quite annoyed at all the pics I take...but here are some more for me and you

The neighbors house- you can see how windy it is here...


& the mud again... you can see how rainy it has been too.
