Yay closing soon

Our PM unofficially informed us during our Pre Drywall meeting that our pre construction meeting should be scheduled for Nov 11th. So NVR mortgage guys should call us regarding the closing and rate lock in.

So the process of rate lock in was going back and forth with the Loan officer as we had a couple of questions. But then anyways she told us we will be closing on Nov 14th. Yay I can't wait. I am just counting down the days. Now time for some serious packing and getting an estimate from Movers.

We are planning to move on Nov 24th so we can unpack and organize during thanksgiving.

Lamp Post

I am so happy that the builder agreed to a lamp post and the good news is it is right in front of our house. When we asked our SR and PM they were quite unsure if our cul-de-sac would have one but PM assured us that there would definitely be atleast one lamp post in a cul-de-sac.

I was worried before because when we went to visit our house during construction late in the evening I saw that it was so dark and we just made a round in our car in the neighborhood and saw that there was one lamp post for couple of houses and there were lot of houses which were in dark. Back in India almost for every house they had a habit of leaving their light in front porch on throughout the night I guess this was because we didn't have security system or alarms in our house. So it was a little amusing for me to see that most of the neighborhood in our community was in dark.

Paintings for my new home

I have so many house decorating ideas already in my mind even before we close. So since I couldn't contain my excitement I started my art work. Ah the immense happiness it gives to do something for your own home.

I am a beginner in painting unlike my husband who is a pro. So I started with a simple but yet elegant Piet Mondrian art to go on the wall close to the foyer. So here is the outcome a little messy not so straight lines but alas I am very proud of my work. These are 9x12 frames, acrylic painting.



Google Piet Mondrain art and you will find many ideas. I started with one of their idea but changed the ordering of the blocks and colors. So after this I gained enough confidence to paint flowers now. But yet to start on it.

I already had the brushes and easel at home. I bought the frames and acrylic paints from Michaels.
