Is that sunshine I see outside?!

Not too much to update. We went out on Saturday to take a peek after the PM let us know that back fill and grading was completed- but no go on beginning to frame. The area got about 20 inches with Thursdays storm. Under 20 inches of snow, the grading looks great, haha! Seriously, there was so much snow the only pics my husband could get was holding his iPhone over his head to get over the ridiculous mound of snow on the sides of the street. You could barely see the basement walls poking through. But they did deliver the windows and exterior doors! So it's literally all sitting there waiting to be pieced together. And hey, maybe Mother Nature heard my plea (along with a few tears and insistent begging)- appears the weather is going to behave this week! Our guardian meeting is suppose to be pushed back, but no word from Gaurdian Debbie about this yet. You never know- they could get in there and kick butt and still make it happen. I tried convincing my husband we should drive out tonight after work to look, but he just smiled (smart man!). So until this weekend or maybe even Gaurdian appt Thursday!

Construction update

Nick spoke to our PM to get an update on the house.... Last week the only progress included the footers were inspected and passed. It wasn't really the issue of the snow but more the ridiculous temperatures. So Monday they will place the forms and pour the walls that day or next. Weather is looking at highs in the teens Tuesday through Thursday, so hopes are high they get it poured Monday! If not, not a big deal. As anxious as we are to see some progress, I prefer right versus rushed. Also on the agenda for this week is to trench in the utilities and pass inspection.

Sent documents to NVR and our loan officer is still waiting on one addendum from RH before he can send the updated numbers. Both Chris'- loan officer and sales rep had our backs for the ongoing numbers discrepancy. Info also sent to hour insurance agent at Allstate and hope to get a nice quote next week to seal the deal with that.

PM said he will touch base on Wed to see if anything was actually able to take place. Again, mother natures fault, not RH.
