We've been hard at work on the flooring, taping, and other projects in the house. Turns out the toilets both need their guts replaced so hubby's dad has been working on that. I've been working on preparing the drywall for mud where the paper was torn by applying a coat of protective sealant on it. Hubby's been working on the floor, and doing a great job! Hubby's mom has been enjoying her time watching Max for us. Then hubby's youngest brother and his fiancee came and were helping us tape so that we can start priming the kitchen for paint. We got the primer and a panel of sheet rock to make the drywall repairs.
We finally heard back about the inspection. There were two pipes under the house that became disconnected so we will be putting them back in place and taping whatever needs taping tomorrow. We also have to send the inspector via the movers the copy of the geological report that was done in December for the compaction test. Then we should be good to go! Hopefully by the end of the week we'll have the green light for getting the electric! Mom & Dad are leaving on Tuesday so we're trying to get as much work done as we can before they go.
Oh! We also discovered water dripping down under the house from the hot water heater! Looked like it had just rusted out on us so Monday morning we are getting a new one installed! Crazy about the timing - the inspector didn't mention it (thankfully) so we think it happened after he came by. And when the plumbers tested our water the hardness level came back at a 7-8 (medium hard) and the chlorine level was as high as a swimming pool! So we know we'll need a whole house water softener and chlorine remover. But that will probably have to wait until a little later.

We love our soft water. I predict sooner than later.
What water softener do you have? We're looking at the RKIN whole house models.
