Anxiety setting in

It's been a few days - the problem is that I'm easily distracted.

So, we've moved quite a bit in the house. The kitchen is all done, all the appliances are moved into place. There are some issues with the cupboard doors that we noticed and that the builder noticed. Two of the doors have spice racks built into them, and the screws used to secure the racks to the doors pushed out the laminate on the outside, such that the door is visibly different from the rest. I think the only fix for that is to start again. The builder noticed that some of the doors are slightly but noticably smaller than the rest. A new order to replace those has been made.

The lights, sockets, and switches are all in place except for a few in the bathrooms. There are a couple of issues with switches that we've noticed, espeically where three-way switches are involved. The hall lights upstairs have four switches, and that's a considerable electrical challenge, I realize, and I hope a fix is a matter of reattaching some wiring and does not involve new wire anywhere.

The doorknobs are all in, but we noticed some odd places where locks should be and are not, in batchrooms in particular. The master bath, for example, has no lock at all. The master bedroom door has one, and maybe the thought process is that that is sufficient, but it is inconvenient, to say the least, to lock the master bedroom door to get privacy in the master bath.

The painters were in and painted all the rooms that are getting carpeting, so that the carpeters don't have to wait for them. There are still several places that are absent paint, but only where there is hardwood or tile floor. They did all that painting on Monday and as far as we can tell, didn't do any yesterday, which we found odd, but whatever.

I got a call from the phone company that they want to go on site on Friday to hook everything up. I still have to call the cable company to have them do the same, but I'm waiting to get our closing date to do that. Ditto the audio/visual company, they will come in after closing and install the TV and hook everything up. Karen is getting espcially anxious to get the date. Hearing it is a milestone that so many other things hinge upon that we need to have it soon. We have to schedule things not just with utilities and installers, but also with the lawyers, the bank, and the moving company. And we need to take time off from work to got to the meetings and to actually move. We're getting close and knowing when "the end" will be is a big deal now.

Anyway, things continue to move, and we're happy. Happy, but anxious.
