Day 205: Is That a Light at the End of the Tunnel?

Well a few issues to resolve today, namely our stone archway over the porch which is not developing into what we had envision with the contractor. Regardless, lots of progress to a degree today.

Electrician's must have read my blog last night because they turned out in full force today. 5-6 electricians later and one day we have all electrical work in the home complete except for one or two minor issues. All appliances are installed except for the refrigerator. I would have posted some photos this evening showing the progress but I am afraid that the electricians borrowed my camera battery to install in the fire alarm since it quit beeping and my camera is now dead. Sorry.

All we have left now (in general terms) is the remainder of stone work, granite counter tops, finish plumbing, and carpet.

Oh yea, day four and counting on the stone work and we're still not done. Hm, I wonder if progress would improve if the stone installers would show up. Nobody today!

Good News! Contractor did call this evening and informed us that next Tuesday the 25th, they would like to have a final walk through and close on the home on Wednesday the 26th. Landscaping would not be completed but they are willing to hold that money out of the settlement in Escrow in order to close and allow us to move in.

Hm, maybe dreams do come true.

Yeah, That is great news. I hope that you can close then and become some what settled before going on vacation.
