We're in our house!

So, it's been a while since I've updated my blog. That's because this week has been crazy busy. Last Friday, the parish sent the permit for permanent service to the power company which meant that they wouldn't be able to hook up the power until this week. So, Monday morning I called Entergy to make sure they had received the permit. The lady said they did but wouldn't be able to go to the house until the following day (Tues.). Well, after work on Mon. Ben went to the house to set up our pantry shelves. He had been there for about an hour when I showed up. I went to the main breaker located outside the house to make sure it was off. I noticed a red tag hanging from it and wires running from the house to the street pole. I called Ben and told him that it looked like the power company already hooked us up. Sure enough when we went inside, we turned on the breaker and we had electricity. YEAH! It was funny because Ben was working inside sweating and unaware we had power.

That same day I called the inspector and he came out Wed. morning to do the final inspection. We passed and he said it will only take him a day to get the paperwork sent to the parish. The parish will send us the certificate of occupancy which will allow us to close on our mortgage. \

We slept in our house Wed. night but we had a hard time falling asleep because of excitement and also noises from a hollow, brand new house. Once we fell asleep we slept great.

I'll post pictures early next week and let y'all know of our progress.
