Nutter Green Home Certificate of Occupancy!

Well, sort of . . .

Today we received our "conditional" certificate of occupancy. We passed all of our interior inspections, but we haven't finished our final grade, sod/grass, and driveway. This concerns the county because of WMSC - water management and sediment control. So, once all of that is finished - in about 2-3 weeks depending on weather - we will have our FINAL certificate of occupancy. But in the mean time, we are allowed to move in and live there, while the outside work is being finished up. We started moving things in today and hopefully will be completely in by the weekend. So glad I'm on vacation this week!

We'll be getting our phone/internet via a temporary line in a week or so, so my postings may be sporadic between now and then. I'll try to post pictures as soon as I can! Wish us luck . . .

The Perfect Babysitter . . .

Today we witnessed something completely amazing. Our kids sat still in chairs watching the concrete guys work for nearly an hour and a half. Meanwhile, Kenny and I were downstairs working in the basement on some final plumbing adjustments. The picture below is priceless.

Ready for Inspections

Well, the floor is dirty, but other than that, we are ready to go. The final plumbing inspection is supposed to be Thursday, and if all goes well, the other final inspections will be Friday. Our fingers are crossed to begin moving "stuff" in over the weekend!
The "Money Shot" will look even better with furniture . . .

Door Days

After working with our door supplier all week to get the jambs and hinges replaced, the new jambs and hinges arrived yesterday. So today Kenny and his Dad switched out all of the jambs and hinges while Kenny's Step Dad, Myron hung the doors in place. Below is Kenny and his Dad working on one of the jambs.

Our new steps built last week by Myron . . .
