Moving Day

This is all ours now!! Yay!

We are less than a few hours away from moving into our new home.  Thursday night Kyle and I met with Dan, the President of Maric and Martin the Foreman at our house to do our final walk through.  I had not seen the house since last Saturday and there was a lot that had changed.  Everything came together quickly in the last few weeks, flooring, lights, tile, counter tops, sinks, toilets, and closets.  It was even better than I had pictured.  My favourite parts are our ensuite with the shower and tub and our lights on the main floor in the kitchen, powder room and front foyer.  Just amazing!  I'm so happy with everything!

Dan, Martin, Kyle and I went through the house looking over details that needed to be fixed or redone.  Thankfully there wasn't a lot to fix but some things were written down on a list.
The kitchen backsplash needed to be re done completely because the tile guy stacked the tiles instead of off setting the joints.  I really don't know what he was thinking there, oh well.  Yesterday Kyle said he was there re-doing the tiles when he went to the house.  He will be grouting it this morning before or while we are moving in.  As long as it gets done.  The stone on the fireplace is gorgeous, but there is a seam in between the stone with grout that is terrible and needs to be fixed.  Our garage door still has yet to arrive, so in it's place is a temporary door instead.  It should be here in two weeks.  The railings on the deck still needed to be finished.  Our shower doors are on order, they will be installed on Monday afternoon.  I guess we will be showering in the girls bathroom until then.  The big problem that isn't Maric's fault is our appliances have yet to arrive.  Stalwart couldn't find them (I know, what the h e double hockey sticks does that mean)  We are not impressed with the situation but it's out of our control.  They delivered a temporary fridge yesterday for us to use until our appliances arrive.  I guess we will be going to my parents for dinner.  The bathroom mirrors were not installed yet but Kyle said they put them up yesterday.  The painter had touch ups to do through out the whole house.  

Kyle said the cleaners were there yesterday getting the house ready.  He also said Garry the carperter was there finishing up our custom closets for all the bedrooms, WIC, mudroom and front hall.  From what I saw on Thursday they looked amazing, he sure knows his stuff.  I'm excited to see all of those done, with our drawers, pull out laundry hampers and shelves, it's going to look fantastic!  Other than not having appliances in the kitchen I'm still excited to see everything done with the backsplash and how it comes together with the counters, cabinets and lighting. I can't wait to spend time cooking and baking in there! 

This morning feels like Christmas came early for us.  I could barely sleep and Kyle and I have been up since 5:30 talking about what we need to pack. 

I'm sorry I don't have pictures of the house when we went for the walk through, I was so excited and forgot to take pictures.  I will take some today after we get settled and I'll make sure to post them soon.  

Here we go, time to get packing and move into our new house!!
