Mrs. Enginerd - Nerd Whisperer
Time flies and in an instant, all you are left us with the memories. Being able to take a two person shower without bumping with the walls was well worth the wait. Knowing we won’t need to remodel any time soon to get the look and feel we want, priceless. Zach is enjoying his big […]
With a little help from my friends we were able to unpack many of the bixes and furniture to start laying out the Château. Once the boxes went down to a manageable level and certain items were shipped off to the Goodwill, we had much more room to maneuver. The builder still owes us a […]
When we moved to my sister’s townhome, we knew that the next door neighbor used to complain about her dogs so we figured Zach would receive the same treatment. For months we wondered when she was going to complain and one day, out of the blue, we realized why she hadn’t: they had been planning […]
For those of you following the story, our escrow officer just called to say the transaction is recording and will close as of end of business, 3/15/2017. Woop woop! We are excited to announce that after six months of waiting the house is officially under our names. Yay! There are still many things to finish […]
From late February to late March our employer gives out the yearly bonuses and salary adjustments. This results in an influx of cash each Q1 that is used for trips, gifts and my upcoming birthday celebration. Because of the delay of our baby, Château Enginerd, the money comes at a very auspicious time since we […]
Château Enginerd became ours a few weeks ago but it wasn’t truly move in ready. The to do list for the builder was 20 articles long and it is still being worked on. Because I thought it would be a good project, we asked that the master bedroom closet be left pristine so we could […]
As of 1/31/2017, Château Enginerd cleared its biggest bottleneck and has sewer! Once the dust settles the yard will be leveled, the water meter dropped in and the electrical wiring bought off. If all goes well the new home will be liveable by this weekend and ours by 2/9!!!! Hopefully our builder is as excited […]
I can’t blame my husband for falling out of love with the new house. The wait has mainly killed any shred of hope I had that he was going to be able to see past the project management snafus and enjoy his new home. Even with the updates we made, and the trim pieces and […]
We are down to the wire folks! By Nov 30th the occupancy extension or rent back contract expires. By then our loan rate lock would have expired and cannot be extended. The last day to hold the Samsung smart fridge is near as well. Lots of tasks are going to be completed this month, as […]
So last time we visited the subject of the new home we all got excited about the possibilities. Paint swatches in hand we went to the house expecting to see the cabinet offerings and other finishes to politely agree they were fine and move one. What ensued was actual mayhem. My sister was appalled, my […]
