PDI Scheduled for July 13th!!1!1!!!

I just received a call from Mattamy to schedule my PDI. It is scheduled for July 13th. Woo Hoo! I guess everything is on schedule then. I did go visit my house yesterday and it's looking really good. The hardwood flooring was put in. All of the bathroom vanities were done including the sinks and toilets. The lighting fixtures were all in including potlights. I like the fixtures that they put in for the kitchen eat-in area and the ones in the hallway. My original plan was to replace them all but I may just end up keeping them. But I still will be replacing the ones over the kitchen sink with pendent ones later. The kitchen cabinets are in but the countertop was only half complete. Admittedly, I was a bit worried about my colour choices but seeing them now, I think it's going to look really nice, especially with the contrast with the black appliances. One thing I noticed that I never thought of was the railings. They are made of oak and my floors are maple. So, the railings have a lot more wood grains in it. I should have gotten the maple railings to match the floors better. This is an upgraded cost though.

The biggest item that I can see that's left to do is the carpeting. After that, it's just little things like finishing the trim by the floors (i.e. putting quarter round down), paint touch ups, installing closet doors and shelves, etc.

I think that I will be able to fit two cars on my driveway. It's hard to tell for sure but just eyeing where the street lamps have been put in along the street and guessing where my driveway will end, I think it's possible. I won't have a sidewalk on my side of the street either.

Today, I will be going to the bank to finally sign my mortgage papers. The bank was apparently super busy so they only got the paperwork together a few days ago. I am two weeks from my closing date as of today. Can I get another Woo Hoo?!?!
