Windows and Walls and Stairs, oh my!

I'll admit I don't have a lot of positivity in me right now, but I wanted to share the recent photos. There is progress being made. Albeit in super slow motion.


In the event you didn't notice, it's mid-October. I'm told we're at least 2-3 weeks out for dry wall. The bedroom shrunk by 10 inches this week. I don't trust measurements to get a bid on closet work. Our kitchen guy can't start building off-site because he can't trust the measurements we gave him, so he wants to wait until the drywall is up. Literally every inch in this house matters, which is something the construction crew doesn't seem to get or at least care about.


Tile has been ordered. Should be all ready in a few weeks, which doesn't matter because we're no where close to being able to install it. I'm frustrated and overwhelmed, which I'm sure you gathered already. I have no idea how entire houses can be built in a matter of weeks and our tiny little house has taken 8 weeks to get this far. 


I emailed our end loan provider today to find out what their timeline looks like to close. If it's 60 days like a normal closing, we're already too late since I'm sure we don't have lien releases, and we certainly can't set an appraisal date. We already turned in our notice to say we would be out by the end of the calendar year since we have to give 60 days notice, and we turned it in with our October rent check. 

That's all I have for you today. Allegedly we're supposed to have a meeting next week to talk about timeline for all the finishing related items we're apparently responsible for, but our contractor is on vacation for the 2nd time since this build started so I can't even get confirmation of the meeting date and time. 

Brent tells me to take deep breaths, and it'll be fine. We'll see.
