A different subject

Ok, time for a different subject here for a change;) Although that is difficult for me to do considering my entire life lately focuses on the other. We moved into our house a little over 6 weeks ago. Can you believe that? I can't believe its been that long! There were things we noticed on our walk-thru that we addressed, but we still closed because we had to get in (good thing we closed when we did considering all that's happened since then). Anyway, they've addressed hardly any of the issues. They told us they mail a letter 30-45 days after we move in. We got the letter, with the list of items at walk-thru that we addressed and they'd marked that all of the items were done! Meanwhile, since we've moved in I've been emailing them with things that come up (since they only want you to contact them through email). I think like one thing was fixed since then. I am so fed up with it! Even the neighbors have said that they're not very good on getting to things. But some of these are more 'serious' than others. Like rain leaking in from under the front door. Some plumbing issues. Then there are other things, like caulking in certain places, cleaning up their paint messes off of the windows and giving us our new door for upstairs. Of course there are more than these. I emailed the lady the same email today, with the list of things, but I also stated we are disappointed in their lack of response and that we'll take further action if something doesn't get done soon (meaning I'll contact the BBB and such). So, meanwhile we have to manually stop our toilet from running after we flush, be aware of any rain so that it doesn't come in under the door and just wait around for them to get their act together. If you make a statement that you fix things then please follow through!

Our Home


I know some of you can't view slide shows. I'd be more than happy to email you some images if you're also unable to view the video, just let me know! This is just the easiest way to get the pictures on here! The video isn't of the best quality so bear with me;) I must say that I love our new house, although I'm ready for houses near us to be completed...I'm tired of construction waking me early in the morning. Well, when I say early I mean about 8 am..we've really been taking advantage of summer and sleeping in!

You wanna see house pictures?

Well, I will try to get to it today. My mom finally sent me the pictures she took of the house and I videoed it (though not sure how good it is). I have a bunch of little things I want to try to get done today and my children are very demanding already this morning so I will try to get to it...

It's a Smaller House

And so much easier to clean! Wow, I just dusted the downstairs in like 20-30 minutes, if even! I have yet to clean the floors, but I am taking a break! I guess that is one advantage of a smaller home;) Much of our stuff is in the basement (desk, bookshelves, that sort of thing) and its not like I'll have to dust all that often down there! Yesterday I cleaned upstairs and it was so easy. So, I guess moving to a smaller home has its advantages;) And actually it really doesn't seem too small now. I really love it and feel right at home!
