Okay, things that have been going on this week so far:
The final grading certification wasn't issued; there were some grades that were over a foot and a half off. That meant the excavator had to come back to adjust grades along with moving the fill pile. They did that today, along with smoothing out the yard. After they finish up, which might be tomorrow, we'll have to call for a new survey and then the inspector has to come back again. Don't know if that will get done this week or early next week.
Nonetheless we are closing our loan on Friday. This is to convert the construction loan to a mortgage.
The watchword for the past few days has been "organization". We dropped $600 on closet organizers and shelving the past few days, and Paul has worn himself out assembling and installing them. The closets of the two bedrooms in use now have closet organizers and Kathy swiftly filled them with clothes. It's been nice to get rid of all the boxes around here. Also Paul put shelves in the two bathroom closets, and they were quickly filled too.
This has led to a happy result - tonight Paul emptied the garage. The truck was loaded with trash again, boxes have been moved into the house (many into the basement for storage; some upstairs to be picked through), things staying in the garage were shoved up against the walls (to be properly organized sometime next spring, perhaps), and for the first time tonight we parked the cars in the garage. :)
