Let There Be Light!

We have electricity!!!! Wooohoooo!! If you read my earlier post about the pre-drywall meeting, you know the only thing holding us up and the reason our completion date was pushed back was because of the power company. When we were stopping by the house one Sunday evening about a week or two ago, a truck from the power company pulled up and the guy told us he was there to inspect and make sure we were ready for the meter. Well everything was ready and a few days later our meter was put in and we have electricity!

Along with the electricity came all of our light fixtures. Not all of them turn on just yet because they're still working on the breakers and such but it's really cool to see the house with the lights on and not have to use our cell phone flashlights when we go by to see the house at night.

In addition to the light, we also have granite! The granite was installed one day before and it's so cool to see everything coming together. And to be relieved that the finishes we picked don't look horrible together.

When we stopped by the first time, none of the lights were on. Kenny started flipping all the breakers to try to get the lights to come on and we managed to get the kitchen lights and all the bathroom lights on. Since I took these pictures, they also put the chandelier over our stairway in and the porch lights. We were so relieved that this didn't take as long as our PM thought and now we're just hoping to get an earlier closing date.
