Final Walkthrough...Done!

We had our final pre-settlement walkthrough on Wednesday! It lasted about 2 hours. 

Most of the "blue tape" areas were normal new construction issues.  A lot of nail pops and settling cracks.  No biggie.

There were areas of very, very, poor paint jobs. Particularly around the tile in the showers, it looks horrible. Also, the first floor bedroom looked like it had 2 different paint colors.  It looks like they fixed some drywall/nail pops and didn't use the beige that's throughout the house to repaint where they fixed- they used white. 

We also had a huge hole above the mirror in the first floor full bath- I mean...why?

I also pointed out all the crooked light switch plates and how our kitchen cabinets were hung crookedly.

We received our estimated settlement fee last week, but it was not correct.  It was just over $1000 too high. I've yet to receive the new estimate, so today I will work on getting that and then going to the bank to get the cashier's check for closing!

This weekend will be packing, packing, and more packing.  The rest of the schedule is:

Sunday
  • Pack up my car with loose items/small boxes
Monday
  • Go to work until 3
  • Aaron packs up his car with more small boxes
  • We meet at the NVR office at 3:30 for closing!
  • After we're done, pick up some take-out and drive to our house!!
  • Eat then unpack our cars
  • Go back to our old house for the last night
Tuesday
  • Pick up U-Haul at 7AM and load all morning
  • Movers meet us at new house at 1PM
  • Refrigerator delivery
  • Once the movers are gone, go pick up Simon (our dog) from our old house. I hope he's not freaking out too much!
  • Sleep in our house for the first time!
Wednesday
  • Verizon Fios, security system, and outdoor speaker installation
  • Focus on installing ceiling fans/light fixtures
  • Start assembling furniture
We hope to have everything in the new house by Wednesday. The new family is moving in Thursday evening! I'm trying to remain totally chill about everything, we will see how long my OCD tendencies allow that. I'm going to yoga class at least 5 times this week to help me de-stress. I hope it works!!
