Electricity infinity'd

Well, we have a transformer now. Within the week we should have electricity if all goes well. I'm not holding my breath though as yesterday I got another call from someone that thought we were at the beginning of the electricity stages and wanted to set up an appointment with a planner. The way this has been going he'll have everything cancelled and we'll have to start from scratch again.

The other latest kerflup is that OnCor told me they were no longer able to discuss the account with me since the account was in my husband's name. SERIOUSLY? Apparently TXU didn't pass me along as an account holder so I had to call TXU back and make them fix it.

I did get told by the TXU person that she's learned from her customer's issues that she never wants to put a house in the middle of nowhere.. that she only wants to do it in a prebuilt house... Not very comforting if you ask me. Of course, at this time, I'd say the same thing.

Oh we also found out one of the septic sprinklers isn't on my property. (Luckily it's still on my mother's, so we're not infringing on anyone unrelated, but that's not the point.) Why did we put a sprinkler off my property you ask? Because the Rhode's Surveying based out of Rockwall TX never bothered to put up flags so we'd know where the property boundaries were. Every single person that came out asked where the flags were. Every time I asked Rhodes, I was told they had already flagged it and they'd put the buttons down, and it'd cost me $200+ for them to come back out and put up new flags. (To be fair, there WERE flags, but absolutely none of them corresponded with my property.. we're talking 100s of yards away from the boundaries so either they have no concept of distance, or those aren't the flags we were looking for.) 

So, everyone just guessed.

If we'd moved the house over 20 ft more then the house itself would be off the property too.

We're less than a month away from moving. We still have lots of packing, we have the electricity, the carpet, the A/C, the skirting and the stairs to finish and then it's all ours.

I wish there was a fast forward so I could skip to July and be all moved in and all the headaches over with. (Or at least a brand new set of headaches. :)
