And pics!

OK, so clearly I didn't get them up the next day... we went thrift store rummaging and found some good deals but we finally got a chance to sit down and get some pics uploaded. We have prepped our apartment for packing and did the dreaded cleaning of the closet, 7 trash bags, not too shabby! So here are a bunch of pics, some are from this past Wednesday and some from the weekend right before that. The ones where you can see electrical outlets, cable/CAT5 and such are the newer of them. Oh and the HVAC was installed, she is purring like a kitten! My husband proposed that we don't go back out again until the final walk through. I wasn't liking this too much but I might have changed my mind.... He spoke to our PM on Friday to get the low down of this upcoming week which is flooring, side walks, drive way and the deck! Then the finishers come in after that. He mentioned to our PM some of the dry wall imperfections and the PM pretty much was like "don't worry about that stuff, I got you." He insisted that he will go through the house with a fine tooth comb and make sure that stuff is taken care of. I have mentioned before, he is quite the type A personality and I know he's got our back. So I'm leaning towards awaiting a "big reveal" but not completely set on it yet :) So here are some pics, she is looking so gorgeous!

Kitchen from about a week ago

 Owners bath!! Some of the grout on the tiles doesn't look so hot....

Owners double vanity, love!!

Spindles and balusters, sigh, they are so pretty!

Family room

Kitchen again with a nice coat of paint!

From the corner of the loft

Owners closet, yay!! I can't wait to get a real closet system in there, on the to do list....

Spare bath, it looks great! And looky there, we have the lights on!!

Standing in loft looking down the hallway.... vents in, lights, speakers, smoke detectors etc

Most recent of the kitchen! Recessed lighting in and all the electrical outlets

It's official- we are on the map :)

 Side yard graded- it's actually huge! We may not have to clear as much of the back as initially thought because of all this space for a future doggie to play!

All painted with numbers and carriage light in

Most recent of back, still more space than we originally thought, very happy!

Panorama of the upstairs before they painted and put in electrical etc.

Morning room, love!

Spindles and balusters again.... is anyone getting the idea that we love these? haha!

Sorry for the no particular order, I'm not all the computer savvy and missed updating pics twice. But there you have her! She is coming right along and we are SO excited. Hubby just printed out a blank calender for April and we made it a count down calender.

On the NVR note, I just sent the last pay stub and signed what I was told would be a final "soft pull" document.... but then I get an email from Credit Karma and of course, it was a hard pull. It's not the end of the world, but it's annoying and they did tell me it would only be a soft pull, not a hard. I'm debating calling about this or just being happy and grateful we are so close to moving into our new house.

Thanks all and enjoy the pics!

We have a roof!!

So we took a trip out this weekend to check out progress.....And we have a lock on the door!! Now as far as we have ever ventured in is to the garage, my husband won't let me go further. I find this hysterical! We were both rebel, non rule following teenagers/20 something's and now look at us, all grown up! So true to word, we didn't go in, even though I could have sneaked in underneath the wrapping around the garage- even tried to bribe him to let me go in the window hahaha! Our PM texted some pics last week when they finished the roof and some of the inside, so I'll share those. We strolled through the model home also to make sure we were on the same page for our Guardian meeting this week. Good thing we did, we changed two walls for cable/CAT6 wiring. And the sales rep currently there gave us the electrical plan, woo hoo! That was a score, nice to see where those will be. And met a family who bought a lot down the road and due to move in sometime in July, they seemed cool too, another good score!

Look at her, all roofed and waiting for some garage and basement concrete

Owner's Suite, woooo hooooo!

So, no concrete was poured and the plan on Friday was for Tuesday, but I also think that was before the arctic air planned to move in, there is a high of 20 forecasted for Tuesday. The pre-drywall walk through is still on for Wednesday, with Guardian to follow. So all in all, looks like an exciting week in store for us. I did look in the windows and saw HVAC duct work hanging in the first floor, so they made some progress there as well..... Until the pre-drywall walk through, lots of pics to follow.
