maybe march?

we got a call from the builder today that we're going to have our electrical walk through next week (which is when we tell them exactly where we want all the outlets and plugs and switches). our realtor told us that it's generally about 60 days from the electrical walk through until settlement.

60 days.

so instead of mid to late april, we're looking at early to mid march.

!!!!!!!!!

i'm so excited and all i want to do is start ordering the new furniture. jeff is focusing on more practical (boring, dull) things like selling our current house. house, schmouse. i want to buy a new sofa.

i think the reason we're ahead of schedule is because of the incredibly mild winter we're having. so if you're complaining about the lack of snow or grumbling about 50 degree weather in december, don't. global warming, global schmarming. we're moving a month and a half ahead of schedule!

Kris,
A few suggestions that we did when we had this stage in the house we almost had.
Check the garage to make sure you have lots of outlets, they were going to do 1. Also I believe you want to consider 220v instead of 110v (not my strong area but 220v handles a heavier load - tools, refrigerador or freezer).
We also suggested wiring the front windows of the house to a switch in the master closet so we could put up lights in the window and turn them all off or on.
Don't forget about cable and phone lines. Wireless access might change your plan but our current house doesn't have enough jacks in the right places (bedroom, upstairs loft and bedroom, weird).
Good luck and have fun.
