Building a Maracay Home

17 days

By my count, we are 17 days from finishing this project..... okay, maybe a few more since a handful of BIG things won't be done until we move in. This morning, Troy - the assistant super - said he was calling for the inspection. I ran in there and saw a number of finishing touches done. The laundry room sink is in. The dishwasher is in its hole, though not yet connected. The silestone has been completed and the supports for the extended counter are in (as well as the finishing wall face). They completed the shower - sorta. The shower head from the ceiling was put on a standard curved pipe so the shower head faces the back of the shower. I think the showerhead should be MUCH larger. It is on my list of things to do! The tile medallion isn't done. The power isn't on (Monday if the house passes inspection). The soft water and RO line are still to be installed. The garage doors aren't hooked up. The carpet isn't installed. The shade screens are missing though there are screens on the house. And while they cleaned up the property ('spun it' - covering the pool company's exposed electric lines so that they only conditonally passed the pool inspection), they haven't landscaped at all. I am hopeful that since there isn't much we are getting done (and certainly it isn't exotic), they can be quick about it once they start.

We are doing our first walk-through on July 3rd. And we are closingon July 9th (assuming everything goes as planned). If the pool is done, we are hoping for a pool party on Sunday, the 15th. Pack your swim suits and towels! See ya after noon.
