TRIM...(PICS TAKEN 08/02)

After reading Chelly's blog last night, we got jealous when we saw the pictures of the cabinets....so we made it a point to stop by the house this morning to check out the progress of our house.  We were pleased to see that all of the walls are primed.  Also, there were worker bees every where and they were very, very, very busy.  The PM met us at the house and walked us through to show us some of the progress and to let us know what they plan to accomplish in the next few days.  We were very pleased and happy with all of the progress.  We realized when we got home that we didn't get a lot of pictures, but we plan to make another visit in a few days to take some updated pictures.

Cabinets - They were in the middle of installing the cabinets in the kitchen and the bathrooms.  Some of the hardware was also installed.  Once they are done, we will post updated pictures with hardware and counter tops.

We didn't see the crown molding on the top of the cabinets, we will follow-up with our PM to find out...we hope we got it and if we didn't we hope it is easy to add.

PROGRESS and PICTURES (TAKEN 07/23 and 07/27)

We stopped by the house on 07/23 to meet with another landscape architect and to look over the progress. 

Brick work is complete...

...and we have a house #!!!!

We stopped by the house again on Sunday (07/24) to show the progress off to a few family members and we were so excited to see...our service door was installed (see picture below, taken on 07/27).  We also met another neighbor (they are the 1st ones to close in our community and just moved in).  We were very pleased to find out that they have a little boy only 1 month older than our daughter and that she is expecting another baby in October.  Yeah...we were soooo hoping to have other kids in the neighborhood.

The PM contacted us on Tuesday (07/26) to let us know that they are done hanging the siding.  We were so excited, that we ate our dinner and jumped into the car and took off to the site.  We didn't have our camera so we took a few pictures with the mobile phone; however, because the sun was setting the quality of the pictures were not so good...so we went back out to the site on Wednesday (07/27) to take a few pictures.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!!!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH RYAN HOMES!!!!!



Oh and we forgot to mention, we have shutters.

Our PM called us on Friday (07/29) with our weekly status update, the worker bees are done with the drywall and over the weekend they will begin to prime and on Monday they will start the trim work.

Oh one more thing, we locked in to an interest rate last week....4.75%.  We would love for it to be lower, but we didn't want to wait around to see what happens.

Now enough about us...we have to go catch up on what everyone else has been up to for the past week.  Happy Building everyone!!!!!!
