Pre-Construction Meeting...check!

Slight back-story - J & I both own properties.  It's been so much fun having 2 mortgages that we just can't take it any more so we're trying to sell his home.  Unfortunately, it needed some updating prior to putting it on the market.  So far, we've refinished the kitchen cabinets, changed hardware, installed a new pre-fab counter top, put in a new back splash, painted some rooms and changed out a vanity in the master bath & the vanity top in the main bath.  All I can say is that it's a good thing we're both handy and that I have a (realistic) vision.

Friday was the insane day when we had people doing work we couldn't do ourselves.  I made it to his place by 9am to meet the guy refinishing the bathtub/tile surround.  The tub had seen better years and the surround was a hideous smurf-blue tile.  That dude was awesome!  At 10, the window guy showed up, my in-laws arrived shortly thereafter, the storage container was delivered, etc.  Chaos, everywhere!  

Then came High Noon.  AKA Showdown with Our PM & SR.  No, not really, it wasn't a showdown. It was just our pre-construction meeting.  We I had a TON of questions for our PM, and he was pretty great at providing answers or promising to follow up with us.  Inside of 2 questions he correctly guessed that we're enginerds.  It was entertaining.  We had a slight snafu regarding the hookup in our laundry - somehow our gas hookup in addition to the electric hookup was missed - but we were able to resolve the issue without tears.  A real win!

The only slightly upsetting part of the meeting was finding out that our home will likely be ready 2 weeks later then anticipated since they're still catching up from the winter construction delays.  Not an issue for us since we're going to rent my place out after we close but we were hoping to be moved in before my parents come in for a visit in mid-July.  Ah, First World Problems.

I'll post all of our questions here but we're happy to report that we seem to be in good hands and that our footers should be poured next week!
