Tominator Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Looks like we might be able to take occupancy of our now home this Friday! Originally my builder was saying Monday 11/2, but now the secretary from the home office is saying possibly Friday if the bank approves the last draw. Over a year in the planning and making, 15,000+ phone calls, a possible ulcer, being half a dad and husband, limiting my poor kids to their extra curriculars and play schedules, and it's finally coming to the end. Don't ever build a house. I'll get some pics up when we get moved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 That is good to hear Chris. Long ways off to go yet for us, and we were supposed to break ground before you did, been a lot of unforeseen issues here for sure. Our home should have been in the dry last month, looking like it may be the beginning of December before our contractor finishes up all of his work and my fun really begins.

c_lou Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Finally making some progress. Are you going to let Tom be the first to write on the walls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Finally making some progress. Are you going to let Tom be the first to write on the walls? Pretty sure my 2nd grader will do that. Pretty sure my 12 year old will be the first to ruin something. He was using the hardwood floor in the kitchen as an ice rink yesterday.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Congratulations Chris! Enjoy your new home. It is a lot of work, I did it about 6 years ago myself. There are so many little details to work out, makes you wonder if buying is better than building. Then again you know all that went into it. Hope you have your family enjoy your new home. Enjoy the future in it my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTPROFamily Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Congrats Chris!! Look forward to seeing the pictures. I would love a new house. We live in a house that has been passed down in the generations since 1875. It has been added to and then my husband stripped it down to the original oak hand worked studs and log floor joists and replaced almost everything! It is always needing something added! It would have been easier to start all new I think!! Enjoy that new house smell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well, the house is done. We had the orientation this afternoon. Not many surprises because I've been there almost everyday since we broke ground. Congratulations, here's your home, but you can't move in. Bank is holding it up again. :hammer1: Zero communication. Nobody can tell us if they've checked the house out yet or not, so we wait. At least they're consistent. They delayed the start, now they're delaying the move in. I can't win.

The_Kat Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Oh my gosh chris....I'd be super PO'd. Is there not a supervisor you can scream at? I mean this is a big time purchase and they need to quit giving you the run around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
