Day 2 October 2nd

We had the water meter set today but the owner reminded us that the sinks in the house are not connected.  He had intentions of installing some new sinks, but never got around to hooking them up.  Do Not Turn On the Water!!  That could have been a disaster!

We did have issues with water though, we walked into a wading pool in the basement during the final inspection, to discover that the foundation had not been tar sealed and there were no gutters installed along the metal roof on two sides of the house.  Not a problem, an easy fix, but the first of many obstacles to overcome.

Electric meter is suppose to be set Oct. 5th, with a vapor light for the yard.  That will sure be nice when we actually live there.  There are no street lights anywhere close, so its pretty dark!  (The animals love it and are busy grubbing for food all night.).

We have a family of ground hogs living under the falling down gazebo.  Neighbors estimate that they have been there going on 4-5 years now.  They are permanent residents that will have to be evicted and soon.
