Lots of changes inside!

There have been lots of changes in our new house. I put these pictures in backward. Starting with what I wanted first and of course that is last. Sorry about that. Things are moving right along!



Scott's pride and joy--The D-mark in the master bedroom closet!

Lots of changes inside!

We called the construction supervisor today to see if we could go in the house and see all of the new changes. We met with Derrek and he let us in and talked to us about the house. All of the light fixtures and cabinetry are in. The electrical outlets, light switches and network drops are installed. Smoke detectors are in too. The have recently been working on touching up the texture on the walls an paint--that's why the brown paper is around.

Light fixtures in the master bath. Hanging down while they do some wall repairs.

Kitchen cabinets. they are maple with crown molding at the top. Counter top should be
installed tomorrow. At the front of this picture will be a breakfast bar with a counter top matching the kitchen.

Lots of changes inside

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!

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.
