finallly we have a closing date! and i have questions

well after messed up paperwork and miscommunications we are closing TOMORROW

We have the walkthrough at 11

Quick question

this house has central a/c when we had the inspector come it was too cold to turn it on...i was told to turn it on it if it is above 65 degrees out

It is ok to turn it on during the walkthru right?

then also did anyone run the washing machine on the day of the walktrhough?? I know i prob should but i feel dumb

But I cannot wait to get in this !

Re: finallly we have a closing date! and i have questions

Before you start the actual walk thru/inspection, turn the washer on and dishwasher on and just verify that they're not leaking, etc.

Same with the A/C.

This way they're running when you are inspecting the rooms, etc.

Good luck and congrats!

Re: finallly we have a closing date! and i have questions

The A/C shouldnt be a problem. Im sure it will be on for a few minutes anyway so you have an idea.

Beleive it or not, we didnt try the washer and dryer on walk through. But we knew they worked during inspection. We just didnt bother I guess. They were fairly new also.

Re: finallly we have a closing date! and i have questions

test EVERYTHING and dont be shy about it! bring a nightlight with you too and test out all of the outlets.

good luck and have fun!!! congrats!!!

That is so exciing!!!

Re: finallly we have a closing date! and i have questions

well we are going to go do the walk thru in an hour then closing a lil bit after!!!!!!!!!

Re: finallly we have a closing date! and i have questions

we tested it all (with the except of the AC) during our final walkthrough. Sadly, the dishwasher worked fine, but there was no dishes in there. When we moved in and did our first load, we realized the dishwasher didn't wash dishes, it left a dirty residue on them.

We couldn't check our central air because it was Feb'07, but we did bring in an AC specialist who was able to determine the status of it after the inspection.

Re: finallly we have a closing date! and i have questions

Test everything!! We ran the dishwasher, turned on the oven, turned on all of the gas burners, brought a night-light and tested every outlet, turned on the air conditioner, turn on every light... don't be shy!!

GOOD LUCK

Re: finallly we have a closing date! and i have questions

Good luck at your walk through and closing!!
We didn't really test anything because we knew we were guting the place and it didn't really matter. But if your house is move-in ready, then test everything!!
