Patiently waiting

Not a lot has has happened recently as far as the new house goes. 
We did finally complete the home appraisal and inspection for our current home to help sell it.  The inspection went very well, there were no big problems.  It was interesting to see some of the problems were things the builder neglected to do when they built the house.  The builder did not vent the bathroom exhaust fans to the outside, just into the attic.  Also there was a section of shingles that were allowing water to get behind the gutter, again a problem from the builder.
Good news is all these items will be fixed appropriately.  And hopefully new home buyers will have confidence they are getting a quality home.

Officially For Sale

We have finally finished the process of listing our current home for sale.  You can view the listing online at http://tiny.cc/Tiajq 
We have kept this house up and even done many upgrades to make it a good buy.  We are leaving behind the amazingly quiet Bosch dishwasher we bought earlier this year and the newly remodeled guest bathroom that looks amazing.  This will definitely make someone else a great little house, the only reason we are selling is we have outgrown it.
If any of you out there that read this blog know somebody that would be interested, please pass along the information and/or have them call the listing real estate agent, Chris from Roberts Realty at 336-996-2101

More information on where we're building

Here is a link to another website that has more information on the Macy Lakes subdivision we are building in.  We are getting Lot # 21.  As you can see it is about 1.1 acres, one side of the lot faces a cul de sac and the other faces a dead end road that leads to the parking lot to the Old Kernersville Lake Park.

We really like this lot because it not only is very quiet and has a great view of the lake, but it is also centrally located enough to be able to get to the store quickly when we need to.

Laundry

Just when we thought we had scrutinized every square inch of our floor plan, we found something else we want to change.  It occurred to us that since all of the bedrooms are on the upper floor, it might be useful to have the washer and dryer on the upper floor as well.
So once again, we are asking Chris from PCI Builders  to change the floor plans to see if this is feasible.  If we are unable to carve out the space in the upper level to accommodate the washer and dryer, we may extend the floor over the foyer and make a new laundry room.
If any of you out there that read this blog have an opinion on this, please leave a comment and let us know what you think!

I apologize

I have read over some of my earlier posts and noticed a few grammar issues.  This blog has some auto spell check features that may be a little too aggressive.  I'll do a better job of proof reading in the future.

As for the house, our goal is to finish getting it ready to put on the market by next week.
