Nothing new....

Well our 'possession date' of October 15th has come and gone! Miles did the electrical walk-through on Friday; my new kitchen window arrived yesterday (the original was too high & not at all useful for watching the boys in the yard - the new one is perfect and I'm glad I said something because I kept teetering with 'to accept or not to accept'); and lastly, the electronics guys were there yesterday, roughing in the speakers etc!

Still no basement floor but I'm guessing now that they have to get the furnance going since the temperatures are dropping....... and due to the recent snow and rain, everything is MUD MUD MUD!

Some pics

Updates without pictures just aren't the same (in my opinion anyways), so here's a few I took today, after picking the boys up from school. After yesterdays RAIN the roads were complete MUD and I was sure that I might have to do some 4X4-ing to get outta there. Hubby probably won't be too impressed because we just washed the truck two days ago :)

All ready to pour the basement... BUT didn't happen today either?! Hmmm...

"Wrapping' the house with plastic & wire! Whoohoo :)

What's Up?!?

If you've been wondering what's going on with the house... here's a little update: we were out there today and were pleased to see that both fireplaces were framed in, plumbing and electrical are in progress, bathtubs are in place, the chute is in place (through the basement window) to pour the basement floor... just to name a few! Nothing's changed on the exterior though. The delay is a little frustrating because we are seeing houses that were signed a year after us (and the possession date of months after us) already way past us... they've had their 'electrical walk-through' and the exterior rock work completed. Argh! We're thinking it's because they still have an agent working for them and we are now dealing with the owner, since our 'guy' left for another company...
