I'm back. I have missed you all! I consider you my friends. I have been so busy with all the house stuff. We accepted an offer on our house on February 19th. We did have things to do between accepting the offer and closing on March 25th. We had the damage inspection. Had a few minor things to do for that. Then we had the appraisal. Waiting to see what it came back at. Those two inspections were probably the most stressful things ever. Also, since people kept coming to the house, to include the buyers, we had to keep it like it was show ready. But now we are officially renting back our own house until our new build is complete. Since we had so many offers we got to really negotiate our terms. So it was worth all the stress.
Our new build is coming along really well. We had a meeting with our foreman today. We have our own inspector to make sure the build is going well. He did not find a single major deficiency. He did find a few things he said we should ask but they were more niceties versus necessities. He said the builder was doing a great job and he absolutely loved our floorplan. He is a very well respected inspector and has been doing it for 35 years. He also is someone who trains inspectors all over Texas so I feel confident with his findings. We are on track to be done around mid to late May. Our foreman specifically said the end of quarter is the end of May so they do not want to miss the house being done on time to meet their quarter goals. So, fingers crossed we get done on time. It could actually be quicker. I can tell you that our sales agent for the builder said the foremen like to say a later date so when they come in earlier they look like heroes so I am really hoping that it is more like the beginning of May. LOL. I am impatient. They have done a lot already. The main stuff is all done. The foundation, the framing, the plumbing, the electrical, the roof, the siding...they started insulation today. It is the drywall that starts soon and that is really going to determine the flow of the rest as apparently the drywall team is behind. I am putting up a picture bc I love this house so much!
The good thing is that despite being super busy and super stressed I have not let life derail me. I am still making sure I am eating right and exercising. I feel great. I still feel like a success story. I absolutely love my sleeved life. Here is a recent picture.
I am hoping now that the house has sold and we are just waiting on the new one to be done that things calm down a bit. We do go over to the new house daily to check on things so that is taking up some of my extra time but I am definitely ready to be back on here regularly. I have missed you all and hope you are all living your best life.
XOXOXOX, Christie
