Starting to feel like a home...

Hello!

 

It's Friday!  YAY!  Hopefully I start feeling better.  For about a week now I have been so sick and feeling miserable.  Yesterday I dragged Aiden to the doctors (again) with me and turns out it has turned into bronchitis.  Not fun.  So I am now on some heavy doses of steroids.

 

I feel terrible though and I am ready for bed about 10-11 pm which is not like me at all LOL.  So praying these pills start working. I take 8 today, that is crazy!!

 

Anyways, so last night after dinner we decided to drive to the house.  I was happy because it got my mind off the coughing and feeling bad.  There were so many little changes done again that its really starting to seem almost finished.

 

I know when they told me this last week or so I didn't believe anyone, it all seemed so "rough" inside, but now its really starting to look like a house.

 

 

White paint has started going on the walls.  This makes a big difference, no more smudges.

 

Door/lock was installed on our back sliding door

 

ceiling fan installed in living room

 

Aidens bathroom lights in

 

powder room lights in

 

Master bath.  Not sure why 2 bulbs are missing.  We are actually suppose to have 2 of these fixtures so I need to decide if I like them and have them fix it or if I want to change it down the road, of course fixing and repairing holes from 1 fixture will be easier.

 

Lots of shelves added to pantry

 

This was a nice surprise.  I didn't know that they would install my pendent light over the island.  I have been stressing trying to figure out what I wanted so this really works for awhile!!

 

Added the island.  This makes the kitchen look complete

 

Redid counter, however we are pretty sure the raised piece is still not correct.......and were pretty sure they notice it as well since it wasn't put on yet.

 

The sink

 

Not sure why 1 light bulb is now missing...

 

I believe they are adhering the wrought iron pieces and the boards are making sure everything is straight

 

Doorbell has been installed

 

Yah, you can tell I don't feel great LOL. Oh well I am excited about the kitchen and the way it looks...love it!

 

Water heater had also been installed downstairs!

 

Have a great weekend!



Catch Up

Hello!

 

I don't really have too much exciting news regarding the house, they are still plugging away on it.

 

They have redelivered our counter (raised piece and where sink goes) due to it being too long last time.  So that is exciting that it will be back in.

 

 

Installed our master shower doors, which I'm not too excited about.  Seeking other options so we shall see.

 

They look fine when left opened LOL.

 

Window ledge was created over my tub

 

Air Conditioner has been put outside.  Needs concrete pad that is why its raised.

 

Well has been finished I guess?!

 

 

 

There was water left?  Lets hope that is a good sign

 

Well tank in basement with constant water pressure

 

We also found out we can keep the brick pallets that are opened, so we can do a decorative mailbox in the future.  Yay!

 

This week/early next week they are going to paint (only had time to paint white..not a custom color), finish septic hopefully.  The rain needs to stay away.  They are also going to clean the bricks again, finish the bricking where the water spigots are.  Our construction manager even said carpet is going in on Tuesday.  It was suppose to be this week but he didn't think the painters could paint the house in 1 day.  Carpet?!  That is exciting!!  They have always said plan on 3 weeks after carpet.  We are so ready!

 

Have a great week!



Getting Closer and lots of photos!

Hello!

 

Sorry for the lack of updating...time is flying by!!

 

I had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I am so blessed to be Aidens mommy.  I love him so much.  He is at such a fun age and he is so smart and just fun to be around.

 

I remember when he was little I couldn't wait to have conversations with him....he tells the funniest stories and hes all about knock knock jokes right now, even though they aren't funny or make sense he thinks its the greatest joke ever....so cute!

 

We went to the house today to drop off some more stair parts and they were actually finishing them up and didn't need any extra.  Yay for returning and getting some $$$$ back.

 

Here are some updates:  Get ready for some photos.

 

Lots of little things around the house but things that need to be done before we can move in :)

 

I was excited to see most of our lighting was installed, including the can lights.  Still waiting on ceiling fans, bathroom lights, and the outside garage can lights.

 

 

Dining Room fixture

 

Eat in kitchen area (kitchen table will be under this)

 

Installed the hardware on most sinks...I can already tell I will be anal about keeping this house spotless

 

toilets are in

 

Aiden in his bathroom with the tile that was redone today (they had messed up and put linoleum in)

 

Mirrors are starting to go up

 

We then figured out the lights worked!  So exciting!!

 

Closet shelving installed. Yah...this wont last long.  We need to add some more in the master!

 

Tile is finished, except 1 tile is missing in front of shower.  Wonder if it cracked?!

 

 

 

Shower

 

The open basement stairs!!

 

The pattern we picked out

Love this part.  It really makes the room!

 

Crown molding on the kitchen cabinets

 

Linen closet was installed in master bath.

 

The stone guy was able to finish the stone.............

 

Because they were able to pour the concrete porch (and the back one!!)  YAY!!!!  This was suppose to be done a long time ago but was always wet and muddy.

 

When we went to the house today they are working on the base boards and all the trimmings and my doorbell has a spot now.  Yes....they did cover it up, I was right to worry LOL.  Door bell chimes are in and we tested it LOL...

 

It's so funny how excited we (well, me especially) with the little things like lights and the door bell working)  This has been a fun but very stressful process.  This has been a true custom home.  I had nightmares on the color of the shingles and what the stone would look like because we truly never knew till it was done.  I am so happy to say that so far (knock on wood) all our custom choices have been working out and look like how I wanted it to.

 

Still no news on how the well is or the septic.  I really  hope they finish those big items up especially since it will be raining again this weekend coming up.

 

Sorry for the photo overload.  Hope you enjoy the pics!
