Our new house
August 2002. We finished moving into our new house (well, I didn't say we finished organizing things...)! We got the keys as scheduled on July 24th, but not without a few problems along the way. I had scheduled installation of phone, cable (Internet), and a new DirecTV satellite dish (they offered a nice moving package) for the 25th, so I was a bit concerned when we weren't able to get an appointment to sign the papers until the morning of the 23rd. Worse yet, the title company called about 4:30 pm to tell me that some typos had to be corrected on a few pages and we would have to come back and sign the corrected pages. It's hard for Tanya to get time off, but she called her manager early the next morning to explain the situation. We arrived at the title company before their office opened, and were able to sign the new papers pretty quickly. They did their part without any further delays, and I received the keys during the 1:00 pm final walk-through appointment (Whew!)...
We took lots of pictures of the construction progress, which I scanned and added to the photo gallery. The first pictures, taken March 30th, show the lot prepared for the start of construction. A week later the foundation was done...
