The grass is always greener..

Well...at least at our house it is...

Because you'd have to be an idiot to lay sod or plant seed in May in North Carolina, we won't be getting any grass until the fall. As such, we have a ton of green gunk on top of our mud to help prevent runoff and erosion. It's really rather nasty looking...it kinda looks like we cheaped out and decided to dye our mud to save money :-)



They also cleaned the house today and it looks so awesome now. We are SO EXCITED!!

On Thursday we have a walk through with our construction manager to go over our warranties and for us to point out anything that we want fixed.

Yesterday we had our inspection and it went well. There is one squeaky door to be fixed and an issue on the front of the house where our brick doesn't completely match up with the side of the house. The only semimajor thing is that the worker who put the siding on the front of the house messed up and did it backwards. The last piece of siding is supposed to hang over the bottom lip of the house and ours is backwards (the lip hangs over the siding), so they have to redo most of the siding on the front. If not, there could be issues with the water getting behind the siding. The construction guy said that it would be no big deal to have it fixed in time. We also got gutters yesterday and will get screens tomorrow.

The radon test should be finished tomorrow or Thursday, so everyone cross your fingers for NO RADON!

Have I mentioned that we are SO READY to move? We're also about done with all the packing and SO READY TO MOVE.
