We finally have a closing date set.  A couple days after our pre-settlement walk-thru we'll finally be closing on the house.  We're very excited as the finally touches are being made to make this house our home.
We've been locked out of the house due to the appliances being delivered now.  They still need to be installed, the granite counter tops need delivered/installed as well as the carpet.  And yesterday they installed the sod so we now have a yard.

We have a drive way!  Progress continues.  All of the tile flooring is in now and grouted.  The bathroom's are done and it looks like a second coat of paint was added.  The rails going upstairs have been stained (at least a first coat).  We're thinking the carpet will be installed next and then the final things to install (appliances, kitchen island and granite top, door knobs, sod and landscaping).

Here's the latest picture of the new drive way.  Hopefully they can take care of the slope so it's more level.  We'll bring that up in our pre-settlement meeting with the PM which is 30 days from tomorrow.

Good progress continues.  All of the drywall is up, room doors installed, half of the kitchen cabinets installed, bathroom cabinets installed, and all of the flooring has been delivered.  Even the outside stone work is installed, window shutters up, and the garage door installed.
There are a few last minute changes being made that we didn't plan on due to the appraisal.  We've been told that it won't impact the scheduled pre-settlement walk-through.  We hope to get the final changes made this weekend so the rest of the construction can continue on schedule.
We've seen 2 families already moved in.  It won't be long until a few more call the neighborhood home and then it'll be our turn.  Lots to do between now and mid-June.  Here are some recent pictures.
