On the first of July we arrived to find that the outlets and light switches had been installed, as well as the toilets and vanities. We made some changes in the master bathroom so the drawings I posted don't portray the true layout of the bathroom. We borrowed room from the laundry to sink our vanity into the wall, which opened up the space.

At this point, the fixtures have been installed, the doors have been painted and the hinges have been hung. They have also installed our sump pumps (they used cruddy pumps during construction) and a breaker box in the basement.
We are waiting for the last few tasks to be performed:
water needs to be run from the street
electric needs to be run from the street
doors hung
final coat of paint
carpet
and here's the kicker....THE SEPTIC SYSTEM!
The septic system will ultimately put our move-in date on hold. In our county, we are required to install a mound system, it has to be the ugliest most unattractive thing you have ever seen! Kyle, my dad and I worked on clearing a portion of our property that is about the size of a football field, for the system. The Health Inspector in our County will not give the workers an OK to install until conditions are near perfect and we have had nothing but rain for the past week...isn't life grand!
Now our house is a "make-up" house for the contractors. That means, the contractors will now only work on completing our house when they have nothing else to do since we are on hold anyway! We have no idea when we'll be able to move in. Originally, our move-in date was June 15...today is July 6 :(
