Now it looks even more like a house

These were taken on 9/29. Things are coming along. We have our counters, some mirrors in the bathrooms, the lighting, and they have done some flooring.






This is the color scheme for our house - but this is a different model. Don't you love the flaming truck in the driveway?

It's really starting to look like a house!

These were taken on 9/22 and show that things are really starting to move along.

Textured walls, baseboards and doors

We went by to see how things were progressing, and here are the results of the last two weeks. They have textured the walls (which you can't really tell from the pics - they look the same as last time), but they added the baseboards throughout about 90% of the house and all the doors have been hung. Seeing the doors up, it made us realize - we have a lot of doors.





I've put up several pictures of the view from the back of the house, but here's the view from the bedrooms upstairs that are at the front.

What's going on

I just spoke with our builder, and they will be finished texturing the walls any day now. The outlet that we'd been hounding them to move has been moved (yay!) and the cabinets should be installed early next week.

It's definitely moving along. Once the cabinets are in, they will give us a firm closing date.

The house is coming along!

We went out there on Saturday, and much to our surprise they had done the stucco and all the drywall was up. We also looked around other houses on our block, and other than the house next door, the other six or seven are all smaller. So we're going to look like the big house on the corner!

The progress so far

We went out to see the house yesterday (August 5th) to see how things are going. We still have the big ol' moat in front of it but unfortunately they didn't include a drawbridge as one of our options. We were told that the giant moat that runs the length of the block and then some will be filled this week. It was dug almost three weeks ago to house the utility lines but they haven't been able to get it filled back up. That's why very little has been done at the house since they dug it - the contractors can't bring any supplies in to finish the next steps. We did walk the house and inspect the location of all the electrical outlets (which we needed to do anyway). As soon as the moat is filled, they will start the insulation and dry wall. At that point, we'll have a final date for the closing.

We have neighbors!

Our house is the one on the right. They put the other three up in a week. Amazing! Our window upstairs is still in the wrong place, but they promised to have it fixed very soon since windows are being installed in the next week. Things are moving and grooving - just waiting for the inevitable weather delays that are sure to come later this summer with our rainy season.
