It's Official

We've officially been approved as finished with the Vance construction! Pictured here is our Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Chattanooga.

This is issued after the building inspector signs off on all of the final inspections for the different permits that have been pulled throughout the entire process. I can't tell you how thrilled, excited, relieved we are to have hit this milestone!

Now Andrew can move in - to keep the place occupied instead of vacant - and a buyer can come along and move in!! There are quite a few cosmetic tasks on the list to keep him busy while he's here: priming the trim, caulking the trim, painting the trim and doors, tiling the fireplace hearths, installing and painting the mantles, trimming out the chimneys, installing the doorknobs, touch-up paint on the walls, and adding beadboard to the kitchen bar. The kids and I will be running back and forth between the two houses so we can still spend time with him in the evenings.

I'll admit it is exhausting, but we'll do what we have to do until one or both of our houses sell! If you know of anyone looking for a beautiful home in Chattanooga, send them our way!! ;)
