more pictures

I took these from outside-because the house was locked, so that is why they are fuzzy-but you get the idea...

Getting closer

We are finally on the finishing touches. Our realtor called us and told us it should be finished in a few weeks. We have a home inspection scheduled for August 14th. We still need our fence, as you can see fence posts are up-and I managed to get a pic of my favorite guy in there! The house is almost ready!!!

updates

New Updates

These are the newest pictures from the house. As you can see, we have grass, our cabinets, granite, doors, wood floors, and our address block... We still need a few more things!!

New cabinets, and tile

Today I drove by the house. The sprinkler system is finished-or I think- the yard has been smoothed out and the sprinkler system is buried now. There are still no doorlocks, no front window(kinda thinking, the cabinets are in there, you may wanna secure the place...), no painted front door, and no painted garage door. The back covered porch still needs to be finished. I did notice the stone that has our house address on it has been delivered and the doorbell has been installed. That is what I noticed from the outside. From the inside, much progress!!! We now have a fireplace, tile in all the wet areas, a garden tub, a shower stall, a guest tub, bathroom cabinets, and knobs. Kitchen cabinets and knobs, WOW! It is all starting to come together!!! I took some more pictures of the guest bathroom, but they turned out kinda dark, because I had no light. We picked out granite at OHM in Madison-our granite is Santa Ceceila-I cannot wait for that!!!

Today I went inside the house to check on things...

Today, I went inside the house to see how things were coming along. My husband told me he had driven by the day before and it appeared they had painted the house. They did indeed. Sienna Sand has been painted!!! We are still missing the front window, and our flooring, and cabinets and things like that. The interior doors have been painted white, and look likt they are ready to go. The granite counter tops have not been put in yet-we are going to pick the granite slab out next Monday.

New Driveway, and missing front window... Hmmm

Not really sure what is going on with our front window, my husband saw a note on the window 2 weeks ago that read "wrong size window, needs to be replaced." So, after that, the window came out-that was 2 weeks ago. We wonder what size window it is going to be replaced with, and when it is going to be replaced. Anyway, the next new thing we have noticed is the driveway and sidewalk has been poured. This was done today. The builders are working inside on sheet rock right now. We have already picked out cabinets, appliances, paint, shower door, bathroom fixtures, lighting, shelving for out closets, and things like that. The last thing that we need to pick out is the granite for the counter tops in the bathroom. I think we are going to do that sometime next week. Anyway, hopefully, I can get inside and take pictures. I have been inside the house one time, but it was cloudy that day, and I didn't have good lighting.

Front door

It hasn't been painted, it is supposed to be painted a dark brown color...

The bricks are finished

Here are some pictures from today. The bricks are finished, and sheetrock has begun. I will try and get sheetrock pictures later this week.

Bricks, Bricks, Bricks

You may have noticed the huge stacks of bricks in the previous pictures... Well, they got started laying the brick a few days ago as well. I went yesterday and walked around to the back of the house to see the french french doors in real life (not on a plan). I am amazed at the progress that has been done. The bricks we are using are called Blacksburg from Boral. The builders are supposed to begin the sheet rock this weekend, they called us and asked us if we wanted standard or rounded sheet rock. They told us the rounded used to be an upgrade, but it wasn't now-so of course we got rounded sheet rock. We'll see what that looks like later this week when I take pictures from inside the house. Anyway for now, I have pics of 3 of the 4 sides of the house. The reason the 4th side wasn't taken, was because there was too much stuff in the way for me to trip over trying to get the picture on that side.

New front door

A few days ago I drove by and noticed we had a new doors-the front door hasn't been painted yet...

new roof, new windows,

We drove by the house today, and we saw the shingles had been put on the roof and the windows had been put in the house. We saw the the brick had been delivered a well, so I am assuming that will come next... It is exciting!!!

Progress

This is what has been done in the past few days. The shingles should be put on by tomorrow.

Our house is in a cul de sac

I took 2 pictures from the car to show you what the rest of the cul de sac looks like. Well, at least the side that was in front of my car...

Do the builders work on Saturdays?

So, this was my question-"Do the builders work on Saturdays?" Apparently they DO. Take a look!
