Aleen and I had our pre-delivery inspection (PDI) for the house today. We were pretty excited as it means we are getting closer to closing. My folks and my sister joined us and we went through the house from head to toe.
Aleen and I have been pretty good and have been to the house on a weekly basis ever since they started construction, so we had a good idea what to expect. The PDI is indeed an interesting beast as you want to find as many problems as possible, but hate to do so as it’s your new house you are dissecting.
We found the common cosmetic things, but also some scratches in our windows and counter tops. They also forgot one of our shutters on an outside window because they put the outside light to close to it, but in all the cases they were pretty good in marking it down and committing that it will be fixed at some point.
We’re pretty nit-picky, well Aleen will say that it’s just me 
but you know, I want to make sure it’s as perfect as can be. So now, one more week of waiting and then finally, after nearly 12 months of waiting, we’ll get the keys to our brand new first home.
