Maintenance Galore

On Monday we had our first of two final walk through meetings with our builder.  While not explicitly stated, the purpose of this meeting was to overwhelm us.  We we got there, Tony went over all of the maintenance that we would need to do on our new home. He provided this helpful checklist to get us through the first year.

If that is not enough, we have another checklist to do in addition to the above list for years 2 through 10.  We even have maintenance work to do prior to moving in -- we need to seal the grout, back splash, and granite before we start using them.

We also went through the house and pointed out things that needed to be fixed or changed.  This was our opportunity to point out anything cosmetic that was flawed.  They will fix it before we close, but after we close on the house, it is up to us to fix those cosmetic problems.

We will have one more meeting on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning to check out all the touch-ups that have been done.  Then, we are scheduled to close on Friday at 4:00p.m..
