Our new winter home is supposed to be complete next Monday, less than a week away as I write this. We were able to walk through the house today and as of mid afternoon we had no kitchen appliances - range, ovens, refrigerator, dish washer - and no range hood.
Everything else looks ready for us to move in. There will be small touch up things we’ll find, I am sure. We’ll do a “punch list” as it is called, and they’ll fix them.
We had worried that the truck was too tall to get into the garage. We were able to drive it in today and it had maybe 3” of overhead clearance to spare. That is a relief.
Last night we caught the tail end of a big rainstorm that soaked California, and got 0.2 of an inch of rain here. Today, there are hardly any puddles.
We will need to live here for some months to learn the weather patterns. Significant rain will be rare, I am certain. Nobody installs rain gutters on eaves.
