Oh My God.

My being is a clamour of energy and weariness, physical and mental. Emotionally I'm so joyfully thankful for everyone's help with the inspection, yet I feel sadness that my house is not perfect. The house is great, not perfect. Each time someone would say, "hey, notice this over here..." I almost felt like they were pointing out something wrong with me, or with my choice in homes.

There were 3 professional inspectors - one for termites, one for structural integrity, and one for mechanical integrity. There were 3 others - Diane our realtor, plus my dad and his um, friend Karen. Karen apparently was an architect in her most recently changed profession.

So they made all these lists of things that were imperfect with the house, and I'm not really clear on if/how/why the builder is obligated to fix any of them, but the lists will be sent to me and to Diane on Monday. She'll be in touch with the builder to get stuff fixed. I'm not sure what I can do to help.

Overall, I am enormously wiser and thankful for the process. I've learned a lot about my house!!

Hole E Shit. I just realized I didn't take a single picture. I was so much not in joy, but in left brain serious mode that I didn't even think of taking one. I had my camera in my pocket the entire time.

Anyway, I learned a lot about my house and it was a great process.

Blah! I don't even know what else to say. :-)
