Finishing up

Everything has come together in the last week or so. We have hard floors and carpet, working toilets, and appliances! 

We are waiting on an inspection from the county, final cleaning, final grade of dirt around the house, grids for 2 windows, a vent in the garage, and a crack in the garage floor to be addressed. 

Overall everything looks great and I'm ready to move in! We plan on closing Monday or Tuesday. I think it would have been sooner but Thanksgiving and some snow we had last week pushed some things back. 

We were installing the range hood

Fireplace!

The fireplace has been done for a week or so, but I forgot to post a picture! It turned out nice! 

P.S. The floors are being installed today! 

Picture updates!

Our green kitchen with countertops!!

Close up of the countertop

Blue living room

Tan entryway. The front door is painted white, but the closet door had not been touched yet.

Stairs and handrail. Still tan

Upstairs bathroom is teal. I think we are going for a beach theme in here. 

Our master bedroom is gray. Along with the bathroom. Not really sure of the theme yet. Just liked the color!

Finished Painting!

SOOOO MUCH has been happening that I haven't had the time to update! for the past few weeks we have been painting. EVERYTHING! It took a lot longer than I thought! after several long days and the help of family members, we got it done! I am really bad and did not take any pictures! sorry! there are still some areas that we need to touch up, but for the most part, the painting is DONE! Now we have to go through the house and use caulk on the base boards and around all the counter tops. the counter tops are supposed to be delivered today.

When we stopped by the house last night we were happy to see that all of the light fixtures have been installed, and we have a garage door! We also got a thermostat, and the air conditioning unit! Everything is coming together VERY quickly!

Kyle talked to our field manager last night and he told us that we could be closing Nov. 17th! That is less than 2 weeks away!!

AAAHHHH!

On the to do list:
flooring
final HVAC
final plumbing
counter tops installed
caulking
touch up paint
buy and install garage door opener
buy and install garbage disposal
well inspection
final grade
driveway improvements

I'm sure there are other inspections and things that the field manager has on his list that we don't know about but thats all I can think of!

We are starting to see the light!!

Paint, trim, and cabinets!

This week has been a busy one! Kyle an I took some time off work to get the house primed. We got the hole house done in about a day and a half. The paint sprayer was so worth it! Here is Kyle painting the master bathroom. Can you see his white hair and shirt?

Good thing it was latex paint and it washed right off our skin and hair!

We got the well and electric hooked up Wednesday! So here's the boring pictures of that:

The white pipe on top of the ground is the line for the sump pump. 

The trim and cabinets were delivered on Tuesday and were installed today. I was so excited about the cabinets that I didn't  take any pictures of the trim. But everyone knows what that looks like right? Oh. And we got doors too! I am SO excited about the cabinets! They look great! And they have drawers inside the low cabinets!!!

The island will have an eat ledge on the left side. 

Everything is going so fast now! We went to lowes tonight to buy some paint samples so we are for sure about what we want. Can't wait to see what they look like!

Ceiling texture

The guys doing the ceiling texture called Kyle earlier this week to ask what kind of pattern we wanted. We changed from what we originally picked, knockdown, to a texture called tree bark. I was nervous about it but once we saw it I loved it! 

Upcoming schedule:

Saturday and Sunday drywall sanding

Sunday and Monday priming

Tuesday trim 

It kind of looks like tiger stripes too! Who Dey!

Drywall and siding and a trench!

Sorry I have been SOOO bad at updating this!

Within the last week we have had drywall installed, and mudded. Siding installed in one day. Gutters installed (It only took them on hour!) and we dug a trench for the electric from the meter to the house.

We are waitng on the drywall to be sanded and the ceiling to be textured before we can get in there and paint.

Heres the pictures!

Drywall!

Drywall has been in the works since the weekend. Hopefully they will be done with it today! When we were there last night, the whole upstairs was finsihed, along with the ceiling downstairs and the garage. Now they just need to be mudded and sanded before we paint. Well, they have to do the ceiling texture - THEN we can paint! Kyle and I are planning on taking a whole week off work so we can finish the house quickly. We have had many friends and family say they will help us out, so we hope it goes quick!

The siding is supposed to be delivered and maybe installed today. woot!

Here are some pics of the drywall upstairs:

Oh. And somebody doesn't know how to spell "dumpster". I guess this means this is the location of the new dumpster.
