There isn't a room in that house that hasn't been redone to some extent. The extras are on us the rest is on State Farm.

Since we had a sheetrock crew in there as well as a texture and paint crew we decided this was the perfect time to do some things we have thought about doing since we bought the house 2 years ago. It turns out it's cheaper to do it this way.

We have an inspector coming this morning to look at the progress. She's suppose to sign off on what has been done and get the mortgage company to issue a check. She told me over the phone yesterday that she's not concerned with the fact that we didn't get an inspection done after the first third of the work was done, we did the right thing by keeping the work crew there. She said if they aren't doing a good job, it will be obvious. I told her we have known this contractor for 30 years and he's done some work on this house so we feel confident in his work. But, we've been paying him out of our back pocket and we're running out of money. She said she'll get the paperwork done this evening, fax it over to the mortgage company requesting they get a rush on the check. I thanked her for that.

All that's left is the paint, flooring and the sunroom. We are hoping to move back in mid December and will be in the house while they are building the sunroom. Since it's on the outside of the house, there is no reason not to move back in.

Keep your fingers crossed!
