The waiting game

Amy and I had our pre-drywall meeting with the site manager today. Basically we stood in the house in the cold for 45 minutes going through all the electrical, plumbing, etc. before the drywall starts to go up. Everything looked to be in good shape. The builder is very upfront, pointing out a couple of places that they still had to do work or repair that we wouldn't have even noticed, so that made us feel good.

Nothing really exciting to show pictures of, but latest developments include:

• The furnace is in, not running, but close.
• Hot water heater delivered and waiting to be installed
• Siding sitting in the garage
• Stone in front yard waiting to be put up

So what's next? Well Accoring to Jim (not the ABC show, our site manager is Jim), they should start drywalling in the next week. They have to get heat into the house first, but he thinks that should happen soon. Once drywall is up, they should be able to give us a pretty solid end date, but today he said we're on schedule for our original date of mid-to-late January. So really, that could mean only six more weeks.

Doesn't seem like a long time, but let me tell you, Amy and I are so excited to move in. We're loving the time we're having at the VBs and so thankful for their hospitality, but we really can't wait to get in the house.

Our friends Jesse and Ronni just moved into a house in the same area, so everytime we see their place and how they are getting settled in, it gets us thinking about our place.

Oh well, patience is rewarded in the end, mid-January will be here soon enough.

BTW, special shout-out to Rich for being one of the few non-Amy people to comment on my blog. Thanks buddy.
