Today I went to the builder’s office to sign a form for our certificate of occupancy!  Inspections are this week and the appraisal is on Saturday. We are hoping to close next week on either Thursday or Friday.  We will finally move in, just 5 days before Christmas.

I can’t believe it started with this hole in the ground 16 weeks ago.

But it all really began 7 months ago when we sold our first house and we signed our initial paperwork to build this new one. I am planning a post about our first house soon.  It was a tiny house at 672 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The location was ideal, but with a growing toddler it just could not have worked for the long-term. I loved that house despite its size and it turned out to be a cute little cottage when we finished our renovations.

The preparations for moving will begin shortly.  I first need to nail down a few items for closing like homeowners insurance and scheduling our utilities to be turned on. Any moving tips you have are appreciated!
