Our Friday Walk-Through with John went well; dude is a creeper, but that's neither here nor there. Anywho, Adam, my mom and I got to see the place with painted walls and cabinets and tiling and all the jazz. Looks like a real house! I got the run-down of what's supposed to happen next - shelving, dry-wall and paint touch ups, appliance deliveries, carpeting, etc. etc.
On Sunday, Adam's mom wanted to check out the house since she hadn't seen it with walls yet. We figured we'd stop by, see if the doors were unlocked and if they were, show her the place. Here's where things get good... So, we find out that the back door is unlocked and walk through the house with mom, blah blah blah, floors, cabinets, blah blah blah. Before we leave, we make sure to turn all of the lights off, lock the doors (which weren't done prior to our arrival), and head out. As we're walking out of our front door I look up and say, "Uhhh, Adam? Cops are here." Turns out our illegal walking through the house actually got noticed! Oops! Apparently, one of the neighbors called us in - thought we were "stealing materials"... on a Sunday afternoon... driving our nice, little chevy malibus. Right. We calmly explained to nice officer that we are the home owners, were just showing the place to our mom, and were not, in fact, stealing the materials. He let us go with a warning. Or with a, "that's what I figured. Have a nice day." Either way, we left with more pictures of our home.
Anywho, we stopped by yesterday and the painters were there finishing up the doors and baseboards. We didn't want to be in the way, so we just looked around the first floor; our new black flat top stove, microwave, and dishwasher had all been delivered and were unpacked and hooked up, so that was fun. The painters told us that the carpeting would be going in tomorrow (Friday). I can't believe that we're moving in 14 days. Two weeks from today! We've been able to switch over all of our utilities, have set up trash pick-up, are in the process of trying to set up Cable and Internet, and I called the US Postal Service to have them send in a request to make our address "valid." May not hear from me again until Closing (so long as everything goes as planned)... we have a lot of packing and cleaning to do :-)
