Congratulations on both fronts! This spring and summer are going to be a blur, it seems.
I'm going back and forth with my HOA and landscaper. The landscaper said they could probably start tomorrow, which is great because we were thinking it would be another month. The issue is our HOA, which apparently operates at a snail's pace. We sent them our proposal about two weeks ago, which adheres to every requirement in our bylaws. They finally get back to us today, telling us to remember that automatic irrigation systems are not allowed within 5' of a foundation (we're putting in turf and rock, so no sprinklers), and saying it might take a while to process since they aren't sure how they feel about a drain they think we're adding (the drain was added by the builder, per the HOA's requirements, prior to us closing on the house).
On a positive note, they put the posts for my fence in today!
