So close we can taste it

We're less than a month away from the new close date now, and the house is getting pretty close to being done. This week the appliances got installed (we're only buying the microwave, oven and dishwasher from the builder), they cleaned, and most of the hardware for doors, etc. went in.

There's some things left to do to button up the inside, such as a couple of paint touch-ups, fixing one of the basement steps, things like that. As far as it looks to us, it's ready to move in, but I'm sure there's things we aren't seeing. The final walkthrough is Feb. 10 so that's not that far away. We're happy to be saving the extra money.

They also finished up the stonework on the outside of the house this week. We're also down to the last few items on our "need to buy" list. Soon enough we'll be painting.
