I LOVE my house, even to this day. Regrets? Eh...not really. Sometimes I wish I'd gotten the French Doors for my office, but in the grand scheme of things, no big deal. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Every now and then, I do peek in on other blogs, and see some AMAZING folks doing some AMAZING DIY projects. I'm so jealous. I'm not handy at all, and I haven't really done anything major to the house. I've added a deck - I suppose that's the biggest project tackled thus far. Oh, and when I say *I* added a deck, I really mean I paid someone to build the deck. lol. Nonetheless, deck is there. I think my next major thing to tackle is finishing the bathroom in the basement. Oh, and I want to paint. Painting is so hard....how does an indecisive person choose a color scheme???</span></div>

My 30 day should be coming up soon, but I haven't heard from anyone. I have, however, been making a list and checking it twice :) Not too many things on the list that need to be resolved - I'm happy to say that they are all pretty minor. I really can't believe it's been 30 days??? Where does the time go? Such a huge difference when you are waiting for approval, or waiting for the big dig....where 'flying time' then, when you need it? Ha!<br /><br />And as expected, my mortgage was sold before the first payment! I'm now a Wells Fargo customer. I have no experience with them, so hopefully it will be a great relationship. <br /><br />Good luck to everyone - wherever you may be in this crazy journey, I wish you God speed!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296309772122787490noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022099821637734824.post-24852930979542080892013-08-19T17:48:00.000-07:002013-08-19T17:48:18.605-07:00I'm Alive.....BarelyHey e-Fam! I pray all is well with building and blogging. I must admit, I'm a little behind on all the updates. But I'm off work for the rest of this week and the next, and assuming I don't sleep for like a week straight, I plan to catch up!!<br />
<br />
As I lovingly told my mom, my next move will involve seeing my Maker, face to face. NO MORE moving on earth. Lol. It's just not fun. Here are some pics. I'll try not to make too many excuses for my old stuff, and everything not quite being the way I want. I've got time, right? Enjoy!! Oh, and I LOVE my house!! It's awesome!<br />

Today was final walk through day, and it went very, very well. My PM is actually on vacation, but we had a nice chat before he left. I met a different PM who went over the house with me. He was great! And I learned a lot. There were small issues here and there, but overall I think the house looked fantastic. I think my biggest complaint is with regards to the sod, which is already looking bad. I realize summer is not the best time to cultivate new grass, but no one wants a nice new house with a crappy yard. The PM says we can evaluate it at the 30 day and if a lot of spots are dead, they will replace it. Let's hope.<br />
<br />
In other pretty exciting news, my process with NVR is running smoothly. I've spoken with my settlement coordinator, already have my HUD1 and am cleared to close. So now....we just wait until Wednesday. Whoooooo Hooooooo!<br />
<br />
I grabbed a few pics at the end of the walk through. Check them out!<br />

Not that I'm complaining one bit....I've been able to access the home easily and on my own for a really long time. I could see through the windows that the appliances are in. Can't wait to see them up close, and with everything all clean. Won't be long now - walk through is this coming Friday, the 9th. SO excited!<br />
<br />
My process with NVR is still going *mostly* smooth. I work full time in addition to owning my own business. Well this past Friday, somehow, my LP calls me and says "You're self-employed?". Ummmm. Just for giggles, if I was, is this a surprise to you? You've only been processing this loan since FEBRUARY! Sigh. So I needed to provide some documentation with regards to my company. This company that's been in existence since 2010, I clearly told them about, but is now somehow a surprise. I'm hoping it's just a small thing. Note to those packing....keep all your 'important' documents easily accessible. Fortunately, I knew exactly where all the necessary documents were hiding.<br />
<br />
Also, I did get my appraisal on Friday. I wasn't super worried, but had run across a couple of blogs where the appraisal was an issue. The house appraised for like 99 cents more than the contract price. What the hay. I'll take it.<br />
<br />
So now it's just a countdown to the final walk through and closing. No more inside pics until the final walk through - or maybe closing. Either way, I don't plan on disappearing at all! The sod is down and everything looks good on the outside. Just need to add some color to the front. And pray that I can keep this lawn looking good. :)<br />

These seem to be the only two things I'm missing. The house looks fantastic! I absolutely love it. Which is good, since I'll absolutely be paying for it. :) My LO has been very proactive in gathering these last few docs that are needed to ensure closing happens on time. There is still blue tape everywhere, but I know they will take care of those things. I do see a few things that I'd like corrected, but that's what the walk through is for. Can't wait!!<div>

I got a call this morning from my loan processor, and she informed me that I have my final loan approval! It felt like it took a long time, but in reality, I went to underwriting on July 15th. So glad the final approval is in....the only things needed now are the appraisal and my hazard insurance information. I know lots of people haven't had a pleasant NVR experience, but I must say, it's been fairly smooth for me (knock on wood, since it's not totally over!). I was all prepared to have to re-send suff, and it never happened. Let's just hope the smooth sailing continues until Ihave the keys in hand.

Ugh. But what I saw made me very happy. First thing I noticed was that my front door has been painted black. I think the front of the house looks really good. My neighbor was outside, and she informed me that my sod will be laid next week. Whoooo Hooooo! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, I finally saw the granite counter tops, and I think they look perfect. And....all the carpet is in. LOVE the family room carpet with the wood floor. Now if I could only get that 'final' approval from NVR, all would be right in my world.</div>
<div>

I did take a few pics with the phone I had with me. Not the greatest. I definitely will try to head back tomorrow and take more pics!</div>

I have electricity, along with lights, and the air conditioning was humming. Felt great inside the house, on ALL floors. Yay! While I was there, the sidewalk was being poured on the side of the house, and the driveway is done. The crew was also doing some grading for the yard. Still no counter tops, but I'm sure they are coming.<br />

Imagine my surprise when I found a half naked man in my bathroom, installing the tile. Exciting! (not the naked part, the tile part!). I really didn't want to get in his way, so I already purposed that I'd come back to check out the tile work. So after church today, I went to see and take pictures of the progress. All the latest pics below :)<br />

I'm happy to be approaching the 30 day mark! I spent this past weekend with my very best friend scoping out how much blinds are gonna set me back. It wasn't pretty....blinds are EXPENSIVE. And plantation shutters....my girlfriend looks at me and says, "Ok, so you can either go on a cruise, or get plantation shutters". Yeah, I'll take cruise for $100 Alex. Sheesh. Anywho...on to some pics!!<br />

I certainly hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July holiday! My family and I certainly had a wonderful time together. And although we had a day of fun-filled events planned, that didn't stop me from swinging on by the house just to see if anyting was new. And what did we find????? </div>

Last week at the pre-dry wall meeting, my PM mentioned that the siding and shutters would be worked on this week. We were quite surprised when we arrived at the house today...as seen by the look on baby girl's face. This is what we saw upon our arrival.....<br />

All the siding is completely done! I'm happy with how it all turned out. Not looking much different on the inside - the mudding/taping process is ongoing. Can't wait for cabinets! :)</div>

</div>
The crew was quite busy today! Looks like 90% of the drywall is hung, so next week will be the mud/tape process. PM said the entire drywall process should take between 7 and 8 days. I spotted my siding sitting in the yard, so I'm hoping next week I'll get to see how the siding looks with the brick. Also, my missing window is no longer missing. It's been installed, and I must say, I'm MUCH happier with my master bedroom now.<br />

There are people who may never get to have such an experience. Like many bloggers before me, I wanted to write prayers on my framing. With the suddenness of my pre-dry wall meeting, I had to get moving if this was going to get done. So I grabbed my baby girl and my sharpie and went to work. <div>

Shout out to my good freind <strong>Joon Lee</strong> for accompanying me!! <br />
<br />
Since I've been going to the house pretty regularly, there weren't really any surprises.....EXCEPT....my missing window is STILL MISSING. And what's really most lame is that the PM didn't know a window was supposed to go there. Yet, this is what the house looked like for the loooongest time:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sorry for poor quality - but this is the spot of the missing window!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />When I initially noticed this, I checked with my SR (and not the PM), mainly because I wanted to confirm that I was actually supposed to get the window. SR confirmed that I was. She stated that the window does not come cut from the factory and is cut on site. She went on to say that they get this question about the missing window all the time. So if my SR is aware of this, what would make me think that my PM is not??? His exact words today were "Nobody told me!!!". Oh, and he threw in a chastisement of *me* for not calling him. I stressed that the window is important to me, and asked him if it was going to get done. He says that since they are supposed to start dry wall tomorrow, it will be "a scramble". Oh well. Scramble on, I say. I want my window. My SR was not in today, so I didn't get to speak with her, but I plan to. <br />

My other point of not being happy involved the location of the washer/dryer hookup. As much as my PM swears its according to the blueprint, it's not. He did say that since the hook up is located in an unfinished portion of the basement, it would not be hard to move it over. Yeah, it needs to be moved over. <br />
<br />
In other news....I did lock my rate today with NVR. I quickly looked around at outside lenders and made a few calls and inquires. But when I consider the fact that rates aren't that much better elsewhere, and the incentives I did get for going with NVR, and the fact that I have little time to manage starting the loan process all over again....I just decided to go with NVR. And I gave myself this perspective - even with the higher interest rate, my principal and interest payment is LESS that what I'm currently paying in rent. Maybe this just means that my rent is outrageous. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296309772122787490noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022099821637734824.post-90402333375552775052013-06-25T11:05:00.002-07:002013-06-25T11:05:33.498-07:00Maybe it's just me.....But I swear the strangest thing just happed. At least I think it strange. Let me share...<br />
<br />
So like most people in the free world going through this process, I'm concerend about interest rates. Yes, there's nothing we can do about it. But for me, it's getting to be about the time I can lock in, before the picture (possibly) becomes more bleak. This is one thing that prompts me to reach out to my PM. <br />
<br />
Allow me to throw in that I have NOT had any contact with my PM since my pre-constrution meeting. Except once. And that was because I popped by my lot early in the day once, and I caught him riding by. But he has not reached out to me for any updates, nor I have pinged him. Up until now, I had been comfortable with everything going on, thanks to the blogs and my research. And I'm an 'every other day' stalker. :)<br />
<br />
Anywho, I'm reaching out my PM just to make sure we are on the same schedule he outlined in the pre-con meeting. At that time, he said he'd be done wtih the house by August 12th. So I shot him an email on Friday afternoon. Didn't get a response. Then, Monday around lunchtime, I gave him a call and left a message. So today he calls me back. <br />
<br />
He states that things are moving along, and he plans to have my final walkthrough on August 9th, which would give me a closing date around the 14th. And then he says, <strong>"Did you want to walk through the house before we hang the drywall?"</strong>. SAY WHAT?!!?? Ummm, aren't we *supposed* to have a pre-drywall meeting? I clearly remember in the pre-con meeting, him telling me we would have a pre-drywall meeting. I realize the blogs aren't 'the gospel', but I've read like 16 trillion of them, and EVERYBODY has a pre-drywall meeting. So I answer him by saying, "Um, well, yeah". He goes, "Oh, well I probably should have called you last week and set up something....can you come by tomorrow?". Apparenlty the drywall is being stocked in the house TODAY and they were going to start hanging tomorrow. I surmise no one was gonna tell me. Sigh. <br />
<br />
I suppose everyone reaches a point where their excitment level is nil. Well today, that is me. Between my spur-of-the-freakin-moment pre-drywall meeting, and crappy-as-heck interest rates.....I'm done.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296309772122787490noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022099821637734824.post-10036298224892268302013-06-19T16:48:00.001-07:002013-06-19T16:48:34.987-07:00Electrical, Guardian, and the Hot Water Heater?Took a journey over to the new digs, and see more progress has been made. Looks like the electricians have put in a good amount of work; all the lights and switches are done. Also, I see that Guardian has been in, and completed their work. I didn't really get much from Guardian - just some cable outlets and a flat panel pre-wire. All looking good. It just seems to me that a pre-drywall meeting should be scheduled, but maybe it's just my lack of patience. I *could* reach out to my PM, but I'm trying to just enjoy the process and let things occur as they should.<br />
<br />
I have two concerns, both probably minor. First is my missing window. There is an extra window in the garage, and I'm sure they'll get to it, but I'm antsy about it, and want it done! The second is the placement of the hot water heater. It appears to be toooooo close to where the washer and dryer have to go....what do you guys think?<br />

<br />
I have a fairly large washer and dryer, and I don't want the space to be tight. I wanted to pop into the model to see how it looked (I'm fortunate to be building the model!), but they'd already closed shop for the evening. I'll surly be back over there tomorrow to check that out and maybe take a pic for comparison purposes.<br />
<br />

A few other pics....things are coming along and I'm overall a very happy camper.<br />

Work is also going on inside...the plumbers look like they are close to finishing up. The tubs and piping are all in. Also, the duct work looks completed. I had a mini freak out, thinking a window in the master bedroom was missing. And anyone reading here knows I have a small obsession with windows!! :) I asked my SR about it, and seems that this one particular window is not pre-cut in the frame, and is cut on site. So my window is coming. YaY! Yet another window treatment to fret about.<br />

Bricks!! I'm pretty excited to see these. Always good to see those choice we made with itty bitty samples come to life.<br />
<br />
<br />
Not much has changed on the inside...I saw the insulation strewn about in the various rooms, so I can only assume a pre-drywall meeting is in my near future.<br />
