Dry Wall!

The sheet rock crew is working long had days! The past two days they did the upstairs and today they are working on the downstairs. A crew also came and finished the siding and roof. Pictures show the outside and one room completely sheet-rocked!

Electrical, Driveway, and Insulation

Its been a while since the last update. Lots has been happening on the house, there was three days worth of electrical work. All lights, outlets, breaker box, ect have been wired. A few days went by of no work done (probably waiting for inspections on the electrical). Then a clean-up crew came and hauled away a bunch of junk. Next was the framing of the driveway and patio. Today they poured the cement in the driveway and patio. While this was happening another crew put the insulation in the house! Things are moving quick! We have our official move-in date of August 26, so we have 50 days left! Stay tuned and enjoy the pictures!

Week 3 - Day 5

End of week 3 and we have indoor plumbing! Our shower, and tubs are also completely installed! Most of the plumbing is plastic, with copper only on the ends where the shower connects. A few pictures are attached, showing the tub in the kids bathroom and washer dryer plumbing

Week 3, Day 3 - Roof!

Wednesday we have a roof (post is a bit late)! It was all put up in one day and now finally it really feels like a house. We can "see" each room and its starting to feel real! Pictures show the front view (it actually looks like a house!), Our master bedroom, view from our bedroom, and the top view of the garage.

2nd story!

In one day the floor and the walls of the second story are up! 2 weeks and 1 day after signing papers we have the entire "structure" of the house in place. Still no roof, but maybe tomorrow? We are excited the walls are all in place as my dad is visiting this weekend and we can show him what the house will look like! We also signed the first round of papers with the bank for closing the deal, we should find out our exact move in date in about a week! We will be in very soon! Enjoy the pictures! (front, master bed, top of stairs, and back!)

First Floor Framed!

The entire first floor, inside and out, has been framed! I have a clear office as you come in the front door to the left. Straight ahead is the great room - living, dinning, and kitchen! Pictures include outside views (front and back), my office (with the bay window), and kitchen (do you see the pantry in the corner!), and view from top of stairs (no second floor yet!) Hoping the second floor gets done soon!

Major Progress in one day!

Week 2, Day 3: We seem to be on the exciting part of the build as things are moving fast and it appears they will keep moving fast over the next few days! Today the windows arrived, the floor was built, the first story walls were built (with windows in them!) Most of the walls were not put in place yet, they are laying down where they will probably be put up tomorrow. The front walls are up as you can see in the picture. It is starting to look like a real house! Stay tuned, more should be coming real soon!
