Ahhh....!!  Life is good!!
We called for final inspections!!  The inspector left us with a short list of things to take care of like:  strap the water heater to the wall; put the bathroom fans on timers; caulk around the bottom of the toilets; return the top and bottom of the stair handrail to the wall; install a dishwasher; and install the laundry room sink.  He also said it was OK for us to "unofficially" move in!!!   Yeah!!!

This was another joyous moment!!!


We're going to work on moving until Thanksgiving, then get back to the list!

 The rock guy delivered a truck and trailer load of 1 1/2 minus for the base of the garage area.  He did a pretty good job of spreading it for us!

 The soaker tub is installed and working! 

Uncle Jim came for a visit and helped us out with the final drain plumbing.  We also cut a 16' pole, skinned it, sanded it, and varnished it for the handrail to the upstairs.  

We had a good time with Jada.  She's learning how to play with me.  When I gallop towards her she hides behind her dad.  We had her running in the rain without her raincoat!!!  She got muddy and full of burrs too!!
