I got a call yesterday (much to Max's displeasure, as he was watching Bluey at the time and did not appreciate his show being interrupted when Mommy took her phone back) from the movers saying that he had been out to the house and "inspected" things and found a few items that need addressing. I already knew about the underbelly needing to be taped up (they're supposed to do that for us, which I told him) but he also mentioned the water pipes needing insulation, the HVAC duct work needing to be up off the ground, the pipes needing to be supported 4 ft on center (some are, some aren't), the fireplace vent pipe needing heat resistant tape and not duct tape, and some spots where the dirt needs to be filled in near the house and the skirting needing sealant where it meets the concrete. So of course I spent last night sorting out all the tasks by contractor and sending everyone their work orders. Next week, we have:
Gutters being installed on Monday
Plumber coming out on Wednesday
Chimney guy coming back out around Friday?
Skirting - TBD
HVAC - TBD
We are planning to go out there ourselves tomorrow to work on filling in some holes and finishing up the door. I've also got the measurements for the foam board so we could start working on those if we have time.

I used to oversee an inspection department for a city. I think all in all this is a pretty manageable list. Do not let the contractors talk you out of it.
We are definitely trying to stay on top of them so they get the work done. Otherwise, we'll do it ourselves. It's not much to handle, but enough that it's setting us back some.
