I haven't posted anything in a week, partly due to the fact that I've been sick for the last week with some sort of cold-like or allergy-like ailment. I'm not really sure what I have because I just haven't felt like going to the doctor. I'm definitely getting better though, so I guess that my body is taking care of whatever this is. House-wise, things have been up and down this week, as they always are. Last Friday, I wrote about how we had not passed the final inspection because the inspector felt like we needed more dirt. This week, we got more dirt. The contractor called the inspector, who then said (much to my delight) well, you can't leave it like that, you have to cover it with sod. Well you know what that means, free grass! I wouldn't have possibly been able to live with it the way it was with all this dirt just lying around, I would have wanted to have grass all over the place, which of course, costs money. Before they had to bring more dirt, the grass was all gone in that area anyway. In fact, the grass is being put down right now as I write this. I asked the grass man how much all that mess of grass cost. $500. So essentially, this inspector who made me so wicked mad in the last week saved me $500. That's not too shabby. Apparently, they ordered too little grass-they need to order extra- so the grass man said that whatever is left over, they'll put in the front of the yard to try to help along the existing grass- there are some bald spots at the moment. So this is all good news. The inspector man is supposed to come by today to take a look, at which point he is to sign off on our house, God willing. |
