The tour moves upstairs

At the top of the stairs. This is looking into the Master bedroom. The Laundry "closet" is on the right. To the left you can see the doorways of bedroom #4 and the hall bath.
Master bath. Tub and shower area. The shower will be enclosed with glass. I love the windows around the tub. They are textured glass. I think a few plants on the tub ledge will look lovely with all the light.
This is bedroom #4 it will be my stamping room. Also the room where the birds will sleep.
Hall bath.
This is also bedroom #2. It faces the front of the house. This bedroom will be the den/office.

This is the second floor of our house. I don't have any good pictures of the master bedroom or bedroom #3.

A tour of our house

Kitchen from the back door. The stove will be between the two small windows. The door from the garage is to the left. The pantry is to the left also. The counter will be a bar.
The dining area.

Living room/great room

The stairs. I love the windows along the stairs. There are 3 of them and at the top is a larger window of the same shape. You can see the front door and the small window by the entry.

We had a "dusty walkthrough" so I thought it would be good to give a cyber tour of our house so far. This is what it looked like April 1--about 3 weeks after we committed to this house and first saw it framed.

Finishing the drywall

By the end of March they were starting to patch the seams and nail holes in the dry wall. We did notice that the workers were often there later in the evenings. We typically go over around 6 or 6:30 and its not unusual to see the he first pic is one of the workers mixing the compound to patch the drywall.

And of course, Daisy waiting patiently in the van while we looked around.

More changes on the inside

The rest of the dry wall went up. A paper on the window shows that the framing was inspected and ready for drywall.

We went and selected the flooring. Ceramic tile for the downstairs and the upstairs bathrooms. Carpet on the stairs, the bedrooms and upstairs hallway. Vinyl flooring in the laundry area--I figured that all that is seen is about 4 inches around the washer and dryer so what does it matter. LOL. The carpeting we picked is called spicecake.

Dry wall goes up

The drywall started going up. These pictures are 13 days after we first saw the house. This was the first time we took Daisy into the new house.

A first look inside

Scott got the first look at the inside of the house while I was out of town. He went with the construction manager for a dusty walkthrough. He was able to see how the house is insulated. He also saw the CAT5 cable going in and d-mark. I think the d-mark is one of his favorite features.

Moving along on the building process

The next few days there was progress on the outside of the house. The house was covered with external insulation, wrapped with tyvec, and then chicken wire in preparation for the stucco.
