we're almost there! our adorable and very patient foreman, buzz, has actually uttered the phrase "punch list." i love buzz and i love him even more when he talks about move-in dates. we have missed quite a few along the way as we should have been in this house last November if it hadn't thrown so many surprises at us....but now we. are. almost. there! seriously, take a second with me to praise the lord! woooohoooo!
a punch list is basically a list of all the last minute to-do's on a construction project....things that have to be taken care of before the property will be accepted and occupied by the residents....like for example, can someone please fix the light switch that was installed 4 ft too high, or don't forget to re-grout the bathroom where you ran out of grout, or who broke these light fixtures- dang it- we'll order new pieces....
regardless, we. are. almost. there! chris and i were reminiscing last night about how hilarious our 15 months of homelessness seems in retrospect. the renovation that was supposed to take 3-4 months should round out at 9....but, at the end of the day, it has been an incredibly memorable, humbling experience that has reminded us again and again how lucky we are to have the support of incredible families and friends. we are thrilled to bring an end to our nomadic period, to settle in, and of course, to have you all over for dinner....if i can remember how to cook. :)
