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.

Phase 1 Complete: Foundation is done!!

The foundation is complete and formwork removed!  They will start framing on Tuesday March 22.  It is coming along nicely.  Today when we were there we look at the plans and tried to visualize where everything was.  It feels so much smaller than it really is (I have been inside the same plan already before we built it).  Can't wait!  Starting to get really excited.

Framework Complete

 Okay so this is the last time you will see the framework pictures!!  Tomorrow they are pouring the cement for the foundation!!!!  Pictures to come on Saturday.  Process is moving right along nicely.  No rain the forecast until Tuesday.  I'm following a house down the way nearby which is about 2 weeks behind ours and they already have the house pretty much dried in (windows up and everything).



If you look closely you can see the small back yard patio




 Yay for floor outlet!

Visited the house today and the construction has begun!  Finally if I do say so myself.  We are having some issues with the builder (sales manager mainly) with some miscommunication.  It has been hard for my husband as he works with construction all the time.  We will see how it continues to pan out.  Our estimated completion date is sometime in June.  I like the sales manager and think she is doing a wonderful job.  We understand she is busy as they have sold 10 more lots since we bought ours.  I can't wait to post you more pictures!!
