We're IN!

There's a few things left to do, but for the most part we are all moved in (save for a few things at Angela's parents). Once we get everything put away and get more furniture in the house, we'll post pictures of everything!!!

The Risdon House has "officially" passed all inspections...

...and we now have our occupancy permit. However, as you can see, our house isn't exactly move-in ready. Oh well. I guess money talks.

The dishwasher was delivered and installed today. Our washer and dryer were also delivered but won't be installed until after our flooring is laid. The flooring is scheduled to arrive at our house tomorrow sometime between 8am and 3pm (nice little window, huh) in a 53 foot trailer. Yeah, that's a semi. Good luck getting that on our street.



We have scheduled furniture delivery for this week and are hoping the paint and floors are finished by the end of day Saturday.

The marble vanity top came in cracked, and unfortunately we are going to have to wait 2 weeks for the replacement to arrive. But in the meantime we will have a woman out at the house tomorrow measuring for the granite kitchen counter tops. We hope they are able to cut the granite tomorrow as well, but we should probably assume it won't get cut until Thursday.



The house is looking good. We're pretty happy with the built-ins, but they're not quite finished yet. Regardless, seeing as we didn't give Dennis much direction, he is doing a good job on them.
