So I am pretty far behind on posts! It is amazing just how crazy life can get leading up until closing!
So here is a quick recap to get everyone up to date. On Tuesday, March 13th, I found that our deck was completed. While it is small it seems bigger than I was expecting which is nice! They had also done a few small touch-ups around the house but nothing major.
On Wednesday, the 14th, I went by and noticed that we had all our doorhandles! It made it house look finished and more polished! The one thing I was still shocked about though is that they put down nothing over the carpet to protect them. Not only were construction workers coming the house but they also had touch up paint to complete. Luckily everything turned out fine, but I still can't believe they took that chance.
On Thursday, March 15th, I went by the house and couldn't believe that I could see the wood floors. I am guessing they had them cleaned and everything since the manager walk-through was on Friday. I was worried about how they would look with the rest of choices and about them being too red, but they looked perfect! I couldn't believe that in one week we would be homeowners!
On Friday I stopped by and noticed that they had done our landscaping as far as trees and shrubs go. There was also some marks around the house from the manager's walk though for them to fix in the coming days. Then bright and early on Saturday we had our private home inspection. While on new construction some say it isn't need we felt it would be worth the money to have the peace of mind. Luckily he found nothing and said it looked like a good house!

So that is pretty much everything leading up to closing! I can't believe how quickly everything moved! Looking back it still doesn't seem real. Overall I am very happy with the building process, and while I have some complaints I would build with Brighton again.
