Closing

We closed last night with a few contingencies written on change orders. Our second island counter was kind of beat up on the end, so our FM had to order a new one. That should be in by 2/26 or 27 (can't remember). He called in a repair for the chip in our master tub that neither my hubby or I noticed and he ordered a new over the toilet cabinet for us since ours had a few dings in it. Our window should be installed on Monday and our excavating finished by the end of March. 

Whew! What.a.journey! As with any build we were met with successes and struggles. The last month and a half seemed to be full of the latter. That being said, though, our home is beautiful and the time spent planning and building it will be worth it for the rest of our lives. It will be nice to look back in a few years and think, "Remember when....?" 

It really hasn't set in for us or our boys that we are done, but we are ready. After pulling in the driveway last week and seeing no workers at our home, Our youngest said "Where's Teric? I wanted to see him before he left!" And we had a good laugh. Although we have been stressed and full of a roller coaster of emotion, the boys haven't and they've enjoyed seeing people at our house and talking to the crews. They didn't care that   There was this wrong or that missing. They just wanted their own bedrooms and a basement to race their cars and play with their toys. :)

The blinds were installed yesterday and look fantastic. They are Bali faux wood blinds in Milky Way to match the trim color. My pictures are bad, but you get the idea. 

Hubby or I will write more when we have time.
