Patience...

Day 146

We were told that our move-in date would be this Saturday...movers are scheduled (high school football players...) we are ready, kids are ready, the house is not ready. As easy as it could be to jump the gun and move in...we are resisting the temptation. 

Why, I know you are asking...

- the house cleaner is wondering what she signed up for and I am not sure that my idea of housecleaning and hers are the same? Ug...

- the fireplace has a missing piece and it was suppose to come in the day before move in day --- it is delayed. 

- the tile installer will not be returning until Monday...two days after "said move in day", he ran out of tile...had it expedited...ran out of other tile had it expedited...ran out of the main tile and after calling today realized that it was not expedited....frustration. 

- the plumber will be returning tomorrow to hopefully finish.

- the painter is returning tomorrow but he did tell us that he would be returning after Thanksgiving vacation to finish. What?

- the extra cabinet pulls came in today and the cabinet installer not sure when he is returning.

(man this list is lengthly when I type it up....)

- the window washer...well he came today...but two other subcontractors agreed that windows are not clean. But this is another paragraph later. 

- Backfill has not started and hopefully this happens soon. 

OK...I am not complaining...I just know that some of you are curious and some of you think about building a home yourself. I am just being real...this is where we are at and what is going on. 

Everyday, there are improvements....our house is amazing and we are trying to stay focussed on how blessed we are instead of the waiting, delays and frustrations.
