It feels as though the "fast forward" button was finally hit this week. The builder really did follow through and complete nearly everything by the date he said he would. We got a call Thursday that our Escrow paperwork was ready, so we dashed to the title company, (with the girls and their PBJ dinners in tow) and signed our lives away.
Friday, we did our final walk-through with the builder, also known as the "blue tape walk," where we got to inspect everything with our own eyes, make sure everything was completed to our satisfaction, and mark things with blue tape that we want fixed by next week. Most of the issues were minor, like paint touch ups, and the installation of closet door floor guides. While we were there, the painters were literally following behind us, fixing our requested touch ups, the lighting guy returned with the final light and some bulbs to replace ones that were defective, and two county inspectors were wandering around too, giving the place a final thumbs up.
By Monday, they should have mirrors and towel bars up, and the front door repainted (YES, another wrong-color issue...don't get me started...) By Tuesday, the bank should have all of the funding in place, and the keys should be ours! Now, we're just packing, packing, packing, and trying to entertain the girls with limited toys and items on hand. Anybody wanna babysit??? :)

Can't wait to see it! And I loved the mammal conversation, too BTW.
