Thanks oldschooler  :)

Yeah ...I just like the Master Bedrooms that have a
deck or patio ...that`s what me and my Ex used to have.
Just my personal preference...but still a VERY nice place...
ecspecially for some1 your age...And no need to thank me.
You did it all yourself... [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//3.gif[/img] LOL

My actual job sucks ass. Soon I will be training to be a real estate appraiser.

Having apts suck ass too! I hope to close on mine May 30th. I don't ever want to go back to dealing with that. It didn't pay me like it's paid you!

Siding is done, drywall is prepped for paint, ceilings are "stomped", and the cabinets, doors, trim, appliances, etc. are all sitting in the garage waiting to be installed.

I was told it will be about 30-40 days until it is finished.

They screwed up my surround sound wiring, but other than that it has been a pretty smooth process.

Went out today, and they had painted the entire house (second floor needs another coat), installed the vinyl floors, and installed the ceramic tile in the master bath, and they are getting ready to pour our patio.

We found out today that our closing date is set for July 6th (damn I thought it would be sooner!). We were pretty dissapointed, but oh well. The house will be done around the middle of June, but they have to walk us through it on June 23, and we will have to point out all the small problems that need to be addressed, so I guess that is why it will take so long to close.

Now I still have to finish remodeling a bathroom, and installing doors. Damn job taking up my time.

Take the punch-list seriously. If something even moderatley bothers you about the work, tell them about it and make them fix it. I know that people tend to ignore stuff to try to get in the house sooner, but you shouldn't have to do a damn thing to it once you move in.

All that starts (and continues) after about a year. :D :P

:lol:

I'm still pointing out the small problems with my grandma's new house. I'm very very picky. I'm also bringing my dad with me, who is more of a perfectionist than I am.

Kitchen and bathroom cabinets were installed today, all of the trim was installed along with the interior doors, and the handrail was installed.

I still can't figure out why we don't close until July 6th :(

I should have some pictures tomorrow. The kitchen cabinets look beautiful :blush:

The dishwasher is stainless steel, but it still has a white protective sticker on it:

They have installed the plumbing fixtures, and most of the electrical fixtures. Pretty much all it needs is a little more paint on the second floor, the trim needs to have the nails and seams filled, the carpet and wood floors need installed, and the brick needs to be done.

brick's almost done, might have pictures tomorrow.

This seems to be a time in the build when it seems like nothing is getting done. It's pretty frustrating :)

Well, I'm sure that the COULD be more efficient, but things don't always work out that way in real life.

What's left to do after the brick? It sounds, to me, like they're almost done.

Flooring, final paint, final grade, landscape, install door knobs, install shutters and gutters, final inspection and then fix everything I find that needs attention.

I still can't beleive we have to wait until July 6th.

Sounds like a long time to me too FWIW.

Maybe they're just being conservative on repairing the punch-list items. :unsure:

All I can say is, it won't matter anymore, as soon as you're in. Just look forward to that. :)

Yeah, I know.

Gives me a few more weeks to build up the savings account [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//24.gif[/img]

Brick is done, will try to get out there tomorrow and take pictures.

Bathroom project coming along slowly. Me and my dad have put in about 20 hours on it so far, probably another 15 or so to go. We installed a vinyl floor for the first time, and it turned out nice (turned out being one hell of a project in itself though). Walls are prepped for the "tile" panels that I will be installing.
