Lots of changes inside

Stairs, showing the two light fixtures.

Built in cabinet at the top of the stairs. There is an outlet and a network drop (for the computers and cable tv)

Cabinets in the laundry area above the washer and dryer.

Vanity in the master bathroom. The faucets are brushed nickel.

Garden tub in the master bathroom.

One of the things that needs to be completed is a bridge that connects the current part of the plan we are in to the newer construction. According to Derrek the bridge is ready for black top and should be done by May 1. He thinks our house will be done by May 9 or 10. He tentatively gave an anticipated walk through date of May 17. I like Derrek's dates!

The outside is painted!

April 17 we arrived to find the outside of the house painted. It's finally starting to look more and more like a house than a construction lump. I was so glad to see that the color wasn't reddish color they use or green. Again we had no choice in the color. The doors were locked so for the first time we couldn't go in the house. We looked in the windows and it didn't appear that anything had been done inside. The hot water heater and garage door have been installed.

The scaffolding is gone!

The front door, free of scaffolding!
Upstairs, painted.

Daisy has to check out her new house too!

April 13, the first thing we noticed is that the scaffolding was gone and we could see the whole house. It was our first look at the interior after it was painted.

The inside is being painted.

April 11 we arrived to find that the inside was being painted. They were using a huge sprayer for the painting. Of course we didn't go in the house. The color is nothing exciting. Everything is white--no choice in that. We will paint once we are moved in and do it slowly.

The stucco is complete

April 10 we arrived to find that they had applied the final layer of stucco. We still didn't know what color it would be though. Not much happened inside.

Changes on the inside.

Entryway with texture on.
Pantry shelves
Walk in closet in Master Bedroom. Not the D-Mark on the Right.
Oustisde with the first round of stucco on. Right now it has a very fine type of texture. It is not as rough as the final layer will be.


Texture has been sprayed on the walls. The first layer of exterior texture has also been applied. It was really surprising how humid it was inside the house that evening. We aren't used to humidity in the desert! Interior doors and shelves have been installed.

The outside of the house.
