Almost done!!!

The house is almost finished! We will be doing our final walkthrough and inspection tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll be closing as soon as next week! We are really excited and can't wait to move in.

Brick and countertops...

Cabinets and tile...

We went by the house today and were greeted with a BIG surprise! The cabinets have been delivered and the most of the tile is in. The cabinets look great and we are really pleased with the offset pattern we chose for the tile. It's looking great and we couldn't be more excited. The builder has us scheduled for closing on the 28th of December. I don't really think that's realistic. They still need to put the brick on, install appliances, countertops, carpet, finish the tile, install sinks, landscape, etc. My gut feeling is that we'll be closing in mid to late January. Anyway, let us know what you think!

eek! I'm falling behind!

I've been so busy over the last couple weeks, I haven't had a chance to upload new pictures. Here's a picture from about 3 weeks ago. Even though the picture is a few weeks old, it pretty much still looks like this from the outside. The inside is a different story though. I hope to get out and take some interior shots this weekend. Stay tuned!

More pictures...

Ok, not much has changed since yesterday, but we got some great pictures today that I had to share...

Julie and Audrey out front

We have a great view of the golf course from our dining room window. Too bad the view will be gone as soon as we get a neighbor. :-(

Audrey is ready to play in her new children's retreat!

It's starting to look like a house!

Here are a few pictures I took yesterday. Things are really moving along now. Most of the framing is complete. Pretty soon, they'll put on the roof decking and start installing windows. Now that we can walk around the spaces and get a feel for the layout, I'm really glad we picked the plan we did. It's going to be a great house for Audrey to grow up in!

Framing begins

These pictures are about a week old. Since the last post, they have poured the slab and begun to frame up the walls. Things are moving along very fast.

Ready for concrete!

The vapor barrier is down and the post-tension cables are installed. It looks like we are ready for concrete any day now.

Floor plan

Here's the floor plan for those who haven't seen it before.

Finally!

Construction is officially underway! We were beginning to wonder if this day would ever come but here we are (and only 2 months behind schedule). The forms for the foundation are up and they are now roughing in the plumbing. We are told they are hoping to pour concrete sometime next week. We'll keep you posted with news and pictures as the house comes together.
