More Progress....7/30/11

Well today we went to see the inside of the house again. The house is now locked unless someone is working on it, so we had to grab the key from the sales office. the kids had a good time running around, although they have to be very careful as there are nails, etc all over the place on the floors. We have our pre settlement walk through on Aug 24th and then we close on Aug 31st. I am getting very excited!

Big things left are flooring needs to be finished, counters in the kitchen, backsplash, appliances, and sod outside. And all the other little things I don't know about!

Front of the house..siding is done and they finished the front porch this morning! Just need the front door painted (black). But I believe they do that as one of the last things before we move in. I am very happy with how the outside colors came out. We only got to choose the color of the siding, as the outside elevation of the home was predetermined since the foundation was already poured before we signed the contract.

Trying out colors in the mater bath. This one was a 'no' :)

Foyer

This area is a loft on the 2nd floor. It will be the kids 'hang out' area. Plan is to put some of their toys in here, bean bag chairs, a tv and eventually computers and desks. This is nice since we can keep an eye on them :)

So since we are lucky enough to live around the corner (literally) from our new home, we are having tons of fun going over each night to check out the progress. And its moving fast now!! Today we went in and the siding was complete outside, the outside lights and lamps were up, driveway is paved, walkway to porch is paved, fireplace is almost done, most the recessed lights are done, the AC was on and all the tile in the bathrooms was complete! Super exciting. I can't wait for the kitchen counters to go in!

Tonight was really fun..Lindsay and I walked over together and we ended up hanging out with some new neighbors that live behind us. Lindsay had a ball running around with the kiddos :)

Does the van come with the house?! These poor guys worked ALL day putting in tile! At least the AC is on now for them :)

One more view of the front.You can kind of see our little lamp post in this picture.

Pics from Trip to PA

Last weekend we went to PA for our annual summer trip so Trev can play in a golf tournament with his dad and brother and the kids can visit their family. The kids all had a blast! Here are a few pics.
