our last house visit
April 19th, 2009 -- Posted in domestic engineering, family, hill to haven | Comments OffWell, tomorrow will be our last “visit” to the new house… Because after tomorrow, we’ll be going back to it as home owners (with keys in hand to fling open the doors with no supervision to run up and down the hallways and turn cartwheels in the kitchen…riiiiiiight). It feels like it’s Christmas Eve, except that you’ve been waiting 6 long years for this Christmas and it’s your first real one.
Although my countdown has been saying our house will be ready next week, it should technically be ready now. At our Pre-Delivery Inspection in the morning, we will go over the house to make sure everything is as it should be. I’m slightly anxious about the kitchen backsplash since we threw something custom at them (with a little sketch from our designer), but that’s the point of the PDI… if something is not quite right, they have time to fix it up.
So, I’ve got everything organized and ready to go for this meeting. There will be lots of info to try to retain about how things work!! Hopefully the years we’ve spent living in a garden home condominium will be a good foundation of knowledge to build on (we’re good with the furnance/water/electricity stuff).
We also have managed to secure a family doctor for Avery (who may take on the rest of the family over time if he’s able) and a family doctor who will take on Harmony and I (although she’s a little bit outside of Barrhaven)… We have a new dentist and optometrist… Our home insurance is set up… Moving truck is booked… Some boxes packed…
Am I forgetting anything? Oh yes, I need to add “freak out over how little time is left” to my To Do list.
