13 days to go! This
time in two weeks, we should be moving in to our new home! I’m so excited!
A lot has been going on this week. Our granite counter tops were put in the kitchen
this week and they look great. I love
the way the kitchen is coming together!
We should be getting appliances this week. Here are some pictures of the kitchen.
Our vinyl flooring also was put down this week. I absolutely love the way it looks. While most of it is covered, I did pull the
covering back to get a few pictures. It
looks very nice and I feel is a nice alternative to hardwoods if they are
outside of your budget. One day we will
get hardwoods, but this is great for now.
The master bathroom now has tile. The ceramic tile came with our package and we
just stuck with the standard. I really
like how it came out. I’m also really
excited about our shower with the seat. Even though I'm not excited about keeping that glass clean!
Here are some more pictures of the inside.

Here are some exterior pictures. I’m so excited about the porch and I really
love the recessed lights. Oh, our irrigation system was also put in this week! While we were visiting the house, they were working on grading the yard.

We walked through the house with our PM’s assistant and we
did notice that our extra dedicated outlet in the garage is in the wrong location. It should be beside our steps, but instead it’s
behind the water heater. He said it will
be fixed, so that makes us happy. Not sure
why it was put there when it’s clearly marked on our paperwork to be beside the
steps. There are also a couple of spots in the
subfloor that we are concerned about….the best way to describe it is that they
give when you step on them. Our PM’s
assistant said that when carpet goes in the flooring people will make sure it’s
nailed down correctly.
There are a lot of little details that we are watching
closely and a lot of work that still has to be done. More drywall, more paint, more trim……I'm sure they will do everything to make sure we love the final product. This is a huge investment and we want it to
be as close to perfect as possible. We
ask a lot of questions and I will say that our PM’s and SR do an awesome job of
answering everything and trying to put our minds at ease.
So what’s next?
Appliances, carpet, sod, and detail work. I can't believe it's almost finished!
