(disclaimer: photo-heavy post with commentary in the captions)
This weekend, we interrupted the the trim crew, who did not happen to be Eastern European or driving Audis. I was able to get some pictures but stepped out to let them cause a minor dust storm sweep. Little did I know that they would LOCK the doors! We stopped by the model for the key and I took way too many window measurements and of course, more pictures! (If you haven't already started researching the cost of blinds, holy cow can one burn instantly through the budget!)
We weren't able to lock in the mortgage rate the week of the pre-drywall
meeting last week and missed out on a killer combo (3.25% with 1% help -or- 3.5%
with 2.5% help). Considering when we first started, the rate was at
3.875% and so locking in at 3.5% with 1.5% help is still pretty awesome. This means
cash in hand to finally buy some appliances (more on a future post) and to do
some minor work on the current house.
