Final Countdown

So not much has really changed since the last post. The stone was installed outside and they finished it all. This is quite an accomplishment since it took them a few days to finish the other houses and it looked like they did not do a great job and ended up having to come back to finish those. The electrician was in the house today to (hopefully) finalize everything. There were a few switch covers, outlets, and a set of pendant lights remaining. All the wires running to the electrical box need to be connected as well. Carpet was installed yesterday and fully completed in one day! We chose to go with the basic carpet that Ryan Homes/Rite Rug provides and install our own immediately after closing and prior to moving in. We did this because after looking at the prices offered by Rite Rug for the upgraded carpet we wanted, we felt like we could get a better deal elsewhere. The funny thing was when our own carpet vendor came to measure the rooms for carpet it was when the Rite Rug vendor was also there installing and talking about how hard he was working to make sure it was as seamless as possible (AWKWARD!). Anywho, we went back to visit toward the end of the day when they were wrapping up and had a chat with him. Cool guy, very hard worker but by that time I'm sure he knew what was up however he was paid to do a job and he did it. I must say that the house looked quite different once the carpet was installed but I'm glad that we are planning to rip it out. Closing is still on for the 8th of January with the pre-settlement demonstration two days prior. Some concerns we have at this point should be addressed soon and include touch-up details such as the drywallers re-plastering some of the wall edges and touch-up paint inside and out. There is also a cabinet front that needs to be fixed. Our PM knows us very well at this point because we always make it a point to meet with him anytime we have concerns that we feel need to be addressed right away. We don't want anything to cause additional delays that could have been avoided.
