update #2

we went back to visit our new house. right from the beginning, there was an octagonal window that was a bit off. we pointed out that the window was not installed properly since it wasn't symmetrical on all sides. the builder kept promising to fix it, but they put in insulation around the crooked window, drywalled around the crooked window, then installed trim around the crooked window. we brought it up one last time on sunday, and when we went today, it was fixed! they actually ripped out the window and put it back in, this time straight. yay!

the first floor was being finished when we went (as of sunday there was no drywall, which is what they were doing today) and they added all the banisters/railings. grout in the ensuite was finished and the granite countertops were caulked. slowly, but surely!

our home inspection is scheduled for next wednesday, june 11! we get the keys on june 12, and then moving day is friday the 13th. good thing i'm not superstitious...
