If you’ve followed any of what I’ve said about our new home construction, you might remember a date thrown out here and there in relation to when we’d be in our new home. I think I may have started with a date somewhere in the range of Thanksgiving. Then I mentioned some delays that put the date near Christmas. As Christmas came near, it was obvious that we were looking at early January. Now that it’s January, guess what’s happened again? Did you say, “another delay”? Well if you did, pat yourself on the back and shut the hell up!
The new date, and final as far as I’m concerned, is January 26th. After seeing the progress made over the last week, I feel absolutely confident that we’ll be in by this date. Our builder, Ben Heath of Heath Construction, has assured us that he can complete the job by January 26th. Ben has done a great job on the house, and we’re very excited to get moved in. I know I’ve complained a few times about the delays, but in reality, I completely understand delays. As a software developer, I understand how seemingly small things can cause enormous delays. I’m just thrilled at the results of the process – all the fine details are coming together.
Yesterday they stained the hardwood floors and put the first coat of sealer on. This morning they’ll add the final coat of sealer and by the end of the day, we’ll be able to walk on the new floors. I’m excited to see them completely finished.
The interior doors and all the woodwork are being installed over the next week. This includes the kitchen, bathroom, and wet-bar cabinets – all details that start to bring the house together. I’ll upload more pictures in the next few days as the details start to appear.
