Inside Almost complete!!

So, there hasn't been many pictures as we are nearing the end of the long awaited journey of moving into the house.  We received our official expected close date of June 3, 2011 on Thursday of last week.  What is left: appliances in kitchen/laundry room, ceiling fans, shower door in master bath, carpet, blinds on the windows, airconditioner, and sod outside

 Here is the banister completed...did not know it was going to stained.  I thought it looked funny at first, but is growing on me :)

 

 Here is a close up of the back splash and you can kind of see the counter

 Kitchen with the counter tops and back splash.  The guys were there painting when we came so their stuff was everywhere

Phase 4-Cabinetry

Went and saw the house today.  So excited it looks pretty awesome!! 

 Here is the breakfast area with part of the kitchen.  Notice the stupid open cabinets under the island there.  Not sure what they are there for, but not happy about it.

Phase 3 complete

Okay so I know it has been almost two weeks since I posted, but I didn't think that walls were cool and that people would want to see them.  I have been sharing this blog with my students and just about everyday they ask me so do you have more pictures.  I know some of you are like...Phase 3???  How many dang phases are there.  I don't know yet, but I figured the finishing of the walls and the beginning of interior stuff should be different phases.  I'm going to guess about 5 phases total...maybe 6.  The builder actually says there are 10 phases so I guess I doing good!!

 The kitchen with the window fully cut out (previous blog had it partially covered by drywall)

 Stairway with the banister added

Another view of kitchen (there is no paint in this one lol obviously)

Phase 2 just about complete, Phase three beginning

So It's been a few days since I posted.  While I have been slacking, the crew has not.  On Thursday we had our pre-dry wall inspection.  I don't have many pictures of the dry wall right now because it was super messy when we went into the house.  

 House is complete on the outside.  Small pieces of brick area missing due to damaged window...needs to be replaced first.

 Foam insulation!

This building now looks like a house--Phase 2 almost complete

FINALLY, this house is looking like a house instead of a bunch of wood and cement.  We have our final inspection before drywall next Thursday!!

 DOORS AND WINDOWS AND ROOF!!

Phase 2 underway! 2nd Story framed up

Went by the house today (Haha feel like I'm getting redundant saying that).  I was actually able to walk through the house up on the 2nd floor too.   Starting to feel like the house now.  Still feels small, but started to feel more like it did when I walked through before.
