This morning, our quality inspector came and checked out what the workers had done. He commented on what nice color choices we had made, and how he loved the green (Ha!). A few odds and ends that aren't finished yet (one bathroom, closet doors, pocket door, kitchen cupboard, and some trim), but otherwise done and ready for moving in. Stefan, Anna, and Tobias cleaned half the night, so things looked really nice when we got there this morning. More snow, but we were able to come and go without problems today, thanks to lots of shoveling from Allan, Tobias, and Johan. After the inspection, Stefan went to pick up a big trailer and I started packing our station wagon. We packed 3 cars and 2 trailers and headed for the house. Stefan and I unloaded our trailer and car, and when he went to move our car, it wouldn't start. In fact, the motor started smoking. Apparently it is some electrical doohicky on top of the motor that has kicked the bucket, and will need to be replaced. The part alone costs over 1000 bucks. Great timing. We had to push it out of the way and leave it there at the house. The worst part is it is the good car, the one I drive, with Haylie to and from daycare.
Rikard came to work on installing the glass wall and door for the shower in our bathroom, but didn't have all the parts he needed. So I guess he will be back next week.
They have to keep the in floor heating off in the areas with tile and stone so the stuff under it (whatever that is called in English) can dry properly. That means it was freezing cold today, as we only have heat in the bedrooms. We only have the fire for heat in the main part of the house. 2 more weeks before we can really warm up the place. So I guess I am buying slippers for me and Haylie ASAP. We had dinner at Anna and Joakim's house after we unloaded everything at our house. The girls played nicely for a long time at the house, but when we got to their house they had a row over a game and then were crabby at eachother. They were tired out though, both with colds. Tomorrow morning at 9 AM we start moving the rest. It is going to be weird leaving, since we have lived here for 7.5 years.
