Final Walk-Through

 We had the final walk through on 1/31/2014.  We were a bit apprehensive because I had read many blogs and was so afraid that things would be done wrong.  My blog reading of course turned into showing them to Rob.  My constant worry invaded Rob's mind and made him start to think in the same worrisome way.  This all made for two people walking into the final walk through ready for battle.   As it turns out we didn't need to.  Our Project Manager had done his job and the house was beautiful.  BUT... like I said in one of the first posts.. our momma's didn't raise no fools.  We have an inspector coming on Monday to make sure everything is in order.

Kitchen Pantry (I really wish builders would use wood shelves instead of wire ones)

The kitchen (minus the fridge which we purchased on our own and will arrive once we move in.. hope it fits)

Morning room

Living room 

Dining room (the paint in the house is an off white but not dark enough for me.  Can't wait to paint so that molding really pops.  Of course if it was up to Rob we would never paint)

Stained stairs.  A nice match with the floors

By the stairs looking into the family room 

Master bathroom shower and tub

On the way back down the stairs 

Still love the wood grain on the stairs and the banister 

The Kingdom of Rob and Chino.  It is amazingly huge and according to Rob it had a wonderful cool temperature

Back of the house

Foot prints on the deck

Driveway part 1.  It still needs the top coat but that has to wait until the weather is better

If we had to do it all over again, there are a few things we would have done differently: 

1. Put granite in the bathrooms 

2. Change the color of the cabinets in the master bath 

3. Hardwood in the upstairs hallway

4. Ceiling fan or ceiling light rough in for every bedroom and not just some and Rob would have added a ceiling fan in the basement 

These aren't things that have to do with the builder it's just some choices that would be different if we did this again.  

What's left?
1. Driveway finish (mostly like in the spring)

2. Landscaping (in the spring) 

I for one will be glad when we are done.  I'm getting tired of Lowes/Home Depot and furniture stores. 

Settlement on 2/10!  And no, we haven't finished packing yet.  We are 75% done though :)
