A dusty shoe morning

Yesterday we got notice that, on Wednesday morning, we'll be doing our "dusty shoe" walkthrough of the new house. I knew it was supposed to happen some time in May, but it sprung on us unexpectedly like some sort of hunting cat...if that cat were really a construction supervisor named Hector, that is.

Tomorrow morning at 10am, we'll actually be inside our new house to inspect all the electrical wiring. This is the last opportunity for us to approve all the wiring (I'll probably be as effective at that as I am diagnosing car trouble by looking at the engine) before they move on to drywalling. We're allowed (and encouraged) to take pictures of outlets and things that will be inside the imminent walls, such as the ceiling speaker hookups.

It may be little else than a warm and fuzzy update opportunity for antsy homeowners like us. But I gotta tell you, I've got no problem with that. Particularly when the implication is that our approval of the dusty shoe walkthrough signifies the onset of drywalling and the most dramatic changes to the appearance of the house. Now the skeleton of our home will finally grow flesh and muscle.

Stay tuned for pictures.
