The Lovely Ladies' Landon: Leaps and Bounds

When we were at the Landon this past weekend. It looked like they had a lot of drywall work to finish. A lot of the drywall still had a rough top coat that needed sanded down. We figured it will take them a few more days to finish....we were wrong.

Our Landon had the walls finished and painted. From Saturday to last night they did a lot. Here it what we suspect them completing:

90% of the siding was installed
All doors painted, frames installed and doors hung
All cabinets installed
baseboard trim installed
Base coat of paint done
Porch pillars installed
Master shut off values installed at the main
Bathroom vanities installed

Things still left open they need to fix
The backdoor came with the wrong door opening the wrong way. The new door arrived weeks ago and continues to sit outside in the mud.
The hot water connection installed with no support continues to float loosely in the wall and now they'd have to remove the drywall and vanity to fix. (Unless they fix it cheaply by spraying foam into the wall)
They installed the AC rough in on the wrong wide of the house. We confirmed during our Pre-con the AC unit would be on the other side of the house in the small side of our yard.
We asked Guardian to move the outdoor speaker and they said they would take care of it but they have not. Not the wall is dry walled and siding is up so I'm not sure how they will move it now.
The dent remains in our garage door but this seems like an easy fix

We also noticed last night that the kitchen pantry covers the light switches next to the back door. I'm not sure how they can fix it.

I am still waiting on NVR to give me a final good faith estimate. The rates took a dive on 10/1/15 and I locked in at the best rate possible over the past three months. The rates have since gone back up. I wish I could have said this was skill, but it was the poor jobs report and other financial news that drove the rates down for me. I was banking on rates in October always being lower as they have been for the past 8 years......I think we just got lucky.

Our home inspection of our current home was last Friday. I'd think the owner would have had his inspection report on Monday. All of the home inspectors I talk to normally have 24 hour turn around. We haven't heard anything from our buyer and we have anxiety over this. I was up at 3am worrying about if my house passed or not.

This past weekend we went shopping for the crucial needed washer and dryer. We went to some scratch and dent places and shopped around. The best price we found was a pair of open items from Best Buy. We went to Giant Eagle for Best Buy gift cards to get the fuel perks and headed to best buy. Sadly the washer that had been there for 2 weeks was just purchased. The dryer was still there. We ended up buying the new white ones costing us a few hundred more. We really didn't want to buy cheaper units as we have a cheap unit now and they damage our clothing all the time. Considering how expensive clothing, bedding and curtains are......we needed them to not be ruined in the wash. My fiance also found us some new cheap couches to replace our beaten up leather ones. She is still wanting her new farm table.

So far things are coming together and the Landon moved forward by leaps and bounds. Now here are some pictures:
