It's not over yet...

Despite moving in last weekend, there has still been a lot left to do. The chimney is not finished, so Michael will still need to work on that. Also, Paul has spent about 3 half-days wrapping up the plumbing: Installing our 3 Myson radiors (master bedroom, 2nd floor bath, and mudroom), and remaining fixtures (washer/dryer, utility sink). One other item was our air exchange system, and that got wrapped up on Wednesday.

Tuesday afternoon, we had our final inspection, and we are closing on the mortgage tonight. We had a few things deducted as incomplete (chimney, mudroom tile, fridge, etc) but nothing major. However, we did have two minor crises... Firstly, stairs off the dining room doors had to be installed-- This was on my 'to do' list to save money, but on tuesday night after the inpection, I called Jeb to come and complete it. They are wrapping it up to day.

The second crisis was our fridge-- We've been living out of coolers since the weekend, and expected delivery yesterday. Well they showed up with it: Wrong size! The Sears sales associate ordered the wrong size in the same model! We needed the smaller one, to fit in a 33-inch opening, but they delivered the larger, 35 -inch model. I was able to resolve the screw up with Sears, but the correct one will not be available until late October. ugh. At least they are giving us a loaner to use in the interim.

Our closing is tonight. Our banker Joyce Littlefield will be out at 5:00 PM. Lyndonville Savings Bank has been a real joy to do business with, and we have been very pleased with the process. These Photo's are all from the closing inspection report; I love the lighting. The road in the one below is Jones Road, the class IV road we live on. Foliage has been great, although this weekend we are supposed to get more rain which could do it in.
