5/30 - day 15 - (Memorial Day) confirmed no progress, no wood delivery.
5/31 - day 16 - driveby, no wood, no progress
6/1 - day 17 - no visit
6/2 - day 18 - Wood delivery!
6/3 - day 19 - driveby. Officially 1 week with no progress. PM confirms, framing to start 6/13
6/4 - day 20 - Awesome "meet the neighbors" BBQ!
6/5 - day 21 - no progress.
A dissapointing week for sure. Officially 9 days with no progress at all. Why? Good question.
The high point of this process so far was Saturday afternoon's first neighborhood event! We met almost every family in the 38 lot development. The earliest residents hosted, and have been in their home for just about a year. I can genuinely say that we are going to have some awesome neighbors.
I met some friends of friends, and found out that our next door neighbor is best friends with one of my coworkers. Small world.
Bad news:
- Sounds like taxes will be higher than SR estimated for us (shocking no one).
- Some homeowners have basement water issues
- Township/developer battling over who/when they take ownership of the open space we back to. Right now, it's an overgrown field full of weeds, grass, and surely - creatures.
Good news:
- Utility bills are coming in extremely low - like $100 for a full month of gas & electric heat and AC low! I guess Ryan isn't lying about that home efficiency thing. :)
- There were a couple of high school and college girls in the neighborhood who apparently like to babysit. SCORE!
- There are adorable twin girls who are 6 months younger than ours that will end up being in her kindergarten class in a couple of years. Yay!
- Neighborhood FaceBook page is now up and running!
- People like our PM.
