3/13/02 - Jim's checking out the completed siding job from the back of the house.

They put locks on our house for first time (because cabinetry, tools & trim were being stored in there now).

Also, our hardwood floors were installed at this point, as were the bathroom cabinets, kitchen cabinets, bathroom tubs and marble vanities.

We also learned that on 3/9, the first coat of paint inside was completed. Then on 3/10, the second (and final) coat of paint was completed in the house.

As far as OUR preparation... on 3/1, we called the mortgage company to lock in the mortgage rate, and on 3/3, we started packing for moving day in early April.
