Well, we called for the final inspection, but we didn't pass it the first time (we didn't really expect to). We had to finish up a bunch of little things, and a few big ones, like putting in the range hood and drywall under the basement stairs. Just that small project made me SO glad we didn't do all the drywall ourselves!! It would have taken us months! Also, we had some trouble with the range hood because our ceiling is 13 feet tall, and NO ONE makes a cover for anything taller than a 12 foot ceiling. I looked all over the internet and called several different companies. We ordered the 12 foot one and are going to try to order an extra extension for the difference. But it's mostly done, and that was good enough!
We also had the appraiser out to keep us on schedule, and he said we would have to paint all the trim on the outside, finish the countertops, and tile our bathroom to pass the final bank inspection. So we focused on the county inspection first. They came back out last Wednesday and we passed! We had to replace the outlets in the garage with GFI's, but he was nice enough to let us do that and come back in the afternoon to sign off on everything. I drove to Bisbee Thurs morning and turned in all the paperwork, and they mailed us our CO--I got it the next day!
We spent Wed. evening and most of Thursday working on the tile in our shower. We worked until 11:00pm Thurs night until we ran out of tile! We just have a little more to do around the tub, and we're done! Jordanne and Nathaniel helped with painting the trim and got it all done in time! The appraiser came on Friday morning and declared us finished. Then Dan and I drove to Tucson to sign all the final papers! Hooray!!! So now it is officially ours! We were going to move in this past weekend, but we didn't have much time to pack since we worked all week, and I ended up being horribly sick all Saturday night and part of Sunday. Sooooo, the new plan is to move this Friday. I will keep you posted and get more pics up soon! Stay posted for housewarming details!
The kitchen counter all finished! I got one of those new touch faucets!
My beautiful new range!!! It was the first thing we bought for the house! We got the display model for a HUGE discount, and it has been living in storage for a year and a half! Now it's finally home! We have to change it over for propane, so we haven't pushed it back yet--it's REALLY heavy, so once it's in it's staying put!
The basement all finished!
The tile going in our shower. I forgot to take a finished picture! We are just stacking the slate tile together with not grout lines. It came out so nice!
The trim all painted!
