another day of waiting

i thought once we closed on our house the waiting would be over.

boy was i wrong.

i've spent at least 4 of the days i've been here waiting on someone. the cable guy. the first round of furniture. okay, maybe just 2 days so far. but hey, today marks the third.

today i am waiting for the house people to come fix a few things. for instance, to put insulation in the attic above our bedroom, bathroom and closet.

WHAT?! you ask. HOW CAN A BUILDER FORGET INSULATION?!

exactly. aren't they supposed to have a checklist or something? walls...check. sink...check. hot water to the sink...check. carpet...check. toilet paper roll holders...check. garage door closes properly...check. water isn't spewing out of the sprinkler...check. INSULATION...CHECK!!!!

anyway, they missed several of those things. our cable guy informed us of the missing insulation. i figured out that hot water gets to the dishwasher (praise the Lord) but not the sink because i've had to boil water to mix with the regular water to wash my pots and pans. what the heck?

so, here i sit, waiting for things i should already have.

oh well, at least they're coming to fix it right?

right.

From what I have heard from different people with brand new houses, that is relatively normal to have few loose ends. It's horribly disappointing though, for sure. I guess a brand new house is not exactly the same as a brand new car. It isn't like you got a lemon just because everything doesn't work. Hopefully, everything will be up and dandy before long.
