Home Inspection done!

A week and a half ago we got the call to schedule our home inspection. This is pretty much that last step we had before placement approval. Well, we're also still waiting on B2's background check since they have to do it in 2 states because of the split time thing, but that should be here soon.. Anyway, yesterday we had our inspection. I, of course, had spent the prior week getting the house as clean and tidy as I possibly could. Not the biggest concern in the inspection, but, it was something that everyone always does in the midst of the "will they think I'm good enough" panic. We passed with flying colors! We do need to build some steps under the basement windows to make them easier to access in an emergency but that will be easily done next week after Tom gets back. So I think we are set. Just have to wait for paperwork to clear and we will be off and running.

Home Insepction!!

Well, we got through our 2 day CORE training classes for Foster Care. Was so happy we managed to find them scheduled for a time Tom was actually home as well. (yay!!) and we've got B2's background clearance being done (shouldn't be a problem, but they have to run them in 2 states since she lives part time here, part time there..) and I got the call to schedule our home inspection. That's the last thing we need before we can get a placement. I'm so excited, though it's going to be a busy week. Inspection is on the 10th of July so I will be busy this week cleaning. I know we don't need a spotless home, just a safe one, but we just finished fostering a little pup who chewed up everything she could get hold of and, well, she made a bit of a mess.. She found a great new home at Saturday's doggie adoption clinic though, so we're taking a bit of a break from dog fostering until after inspection. Will make things a little easier on me. Really isn't much by way of other news. Just going to be busy, busy busy cleaning. Of course hubby's not home this week, or next, so the garage and construction zone will not get quite the cleaning they should, but will do what I can to tidy them up a bit. Had planned on spending a good chunk of time this week and/or next getting those areas ready for the next phase of construction, but that will have to wait until after inspection now.. ah well. :) Good cause and all!
