As we expected, there was not much progress at Independence this week for our home – although next door (to the left) did close (purchase) yesterday; we met one of the new owners today, who told us that they completed purchase even though the home is not finished! There were painters working there when we visited today, while the new owners belongings were being moved in to the garage. Lennar are providing temporary housing for them, and they hope to properly move in next week – remember again that November is the end of Lennar’s financial year, so there’s an incentive to close homes!
Meanwhile in our home, electric still awaits completion and inspection, but the “pest defense” tubes were installed; and today they’ve started putting stucco on the exterior – so the outside of our home is getting closer to completed! It seems to be a very labor intensive process; one worker runs the mixer, and then the mix is transferred spade by spade lifted from one scaffold level to the next, till it’s high enough to be applied to the wall! You can see a spade delivering to the lowest level, in the picture:
