House Update - Jan. 4...

Yesterday afternoon, we finally went through the house to do a "walk-through" before the drywall can be put up... There were several things that we made sure to bring to the attention of the foreman: 2x4's we weren't too pleased with...door jams that seemed off kilter...plumbing blocks and ceiling fan supports that weren't too sturdy...things like that... I think he'll have plenty to take care of and check up on... Once those repairs are made, they'll start putting in the insullation... Then, another inspector will come in...(this one from the VA)...to make sure the insullation is up to par with "Energy Star"... And, after that, the drywall will start going up...more than likely toward the end of next week... The bad news is that they've pushed the closing date back even further now - till the end of February... I know God's timing is perfect...and I sure do want a "quality-finished" house rather than a "quick-finished" house...but, I do have to admit that in my human self, I'm kind of disappointed... I'd really hoped to be in the house before the baby came... And, then, when that didn't pan out...I hoped to at least be in just after the baby came...and to get our stuff out of storage and all that... Now, we have to do a ton of paperwork to file for an extension so that our household goods can stay in Baltimore just a little bit longer...(the military never makes anything simple or easy...) Ah well... Again, I know God's timing is perfect...so when we finally do move in, I'm sure it'll be extremely blessed... So, that's about it for now till they can start working on the inside/"cosmetic" parts of the house after the drywall's installed... They said that once the drywall's up, everything else tends to go much quicker... We'll see...
