The House - Meeting 1 (of 3)

In the process of building our house, there will be three seperate meetings that we will attend before we move in... the purpose for two of which I can't remember right now. I believe that the last two will be a final inspection of the house and lastly the hand over after closing.

Our first meeting was the meeting just after the frame and roof were completed. This was our chance to go into the house and ensure that outlets were in the right places, walls were in the right places and that if we hadn't already wet ourselves due to the reality of the situation, we should go ahead and do that now.

Katie and I took off work early to meet our construction project manager, Scott, at 4:00. We were told that the walk-through would take about 30 minutes and that if we had any questions or issues we could raise them at that time. We weren't told however, that we'd be taking this tour with the largest man ever assembled. His parents must've had to change his diaper with construction cranes... the man was huge.

We started the tour with Scott, the aforementioned giant, pointing out outlets, lights and hookups in the living area, then onto the bedrooms and kitchen and garage and all that other good stuff. Everything looked good, so we didn't complain. However, Katie and I were both too afraid to complain anyway. We know the rules... never anger a giant.

In reality, Scott was very pleasant. He seemed eager to answer questions and was quick to point out any errors that they'd made... and told us what he would do to resolve those errors. We were there for less than thirty minutes, and then went on our merry way.
