More To Come

Our house is almost done. I had just a few minutes so I thought I would post a pic of the outside which is complete. We are so happy with the way it turned out. More pictures to come as soon as I have some time to edit them!!

Getting Closer

Quite a lot has happened on our house since I last posted. It's all been going so fast, it's hard to keep updated pictures. We are really pleased with how things are going and are really happy with the progress.

This is what the front looks like. They are starting on the exterior stucco tomorrow!

Our beautiful front door! It is gorgeous!

It's hard to see in this picture but we stamped the concrete on part of the driveway, the walkway, stairs and porch. When it is all finished, it will be brown like the front door.

More Updates!

Things are moving so quickly on our house. They recently finished the framing and the trusses. After that was done they went to work on the upstairs plumbing and HVAC. And now they are working on the electrical. It's amazing how fast it is all going. In one way it is great for us and in another way it can be quite stressful. Luckily Jared and I have pretty similar tastes so it makes those quick decisions a little easier. Jared has worked with some friends on a few roofing jobs so he will actually be putting the roof on. The weather hasn't really been cooperating so that hasn't been done yet. We are hoping that tomorrow will be a good day for that. I will post more pictures soon of the progress with the plumbing, fireplace and lighting.

Here is a better picture of our hole in the ground. They had to connect our lot to the sewer line and it was quite an ordeal. It's all fixed now though!! This picture was taken looking out where our front door will be.

Here is a picture of us after they started framing!

Framing

They started framing our house and it is going so quick. It looks awesome and we are getting really excited. There is another house going up in the neighborhood and their plan is to complete it in 3 months. We are already a few days ahead of them so....it will be done soon!!

These are the floor joists from the back of the house.

They also framed in the basement even though we will not finish it right away.

A Hole in the Street

During the excavation process, the crew discovered that when they had developed the subdivision they did not hook our lot up to the sewer line. So they ended up having to dig a hole and hook us up! Here is the hole in front of our house.

They also had to dig up the street in order to hook up to the sewer line.
