On Monday,
February 16th, I completed the final walk-through of my condo
in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago. Closing is set
for the end of March and move-in will commence on or about
April 1st.
The builder
has done an excellent job. Very few items were noticed that
needed attention. I had my orange sticky dots prepared but
you'll be hard-pressed to find too many of them in the photos
that follow. The ones that are there are mostly denoting
small, cosmetic items such as oversprayed paint or leftover
caulking.
For having
only the three windows, I remain impressed with the amount of
light this space has. I still haven't decided whether or
not to bother with window treatments; the only people that can
see me would be from 1-1 1/2 blocks away on a moving El train.
The builder
was able to salvage many of the original architectural
features from this historic building such as the plaster piece
shown at the right. Also notice the column in kitchen
which was repaired and the details left on the ceilings.
For
perspective, see the floor plan
here.
