The front door was painted to match our shutters. The columns also were painted a clean shade of white!

Next Step....Landscaping

Master Bathroom Fixtures
Landscaping started in the cul-de-sac. Ugh, more rain.



Food pantry next to the kitchen





Cabinets with built in microwave




Carpet in the family room



Well due to the delivery of our appliances our house has been locked the last 2-3 weeks. This has limited our access to see progress inside. We stopped at the sales office on Saturday and got the key so we could check out the progress. It looks so close to being finished!! The carpets were installed and all the interior lighting fixtures are officially complete. The closets all have shelving too!



We are waiting for our granite counters to be installed, the toilets to be installed, and the bathroom hardware (shower heads, faucets, etc.) to be installed. Once they are complete the interior will be totally FINISHED!



The sales manager has informed us that we are on to landscaping which should be completed this week if the weather holds out. We have our fingers crossed for some dry days in a row.



Our estimated closing time frame is the second week of June. The date is dependant on the weather cooperating and the local building department be timely with their inspections. We will continue to pray! Theo and I agreed that this was the first visit we felt like we were standing in OUR house. It was really heartwarming!

Almost there?













We have seen some great progress over the last 2 weeks. The cabinets are in and the tile and hardwood floors are completed. The lighting fixtures are installed. The exterior columns were put in place, but they need to be painted. The driveway was paved. The sidewalk and front steps were completed. The appliances were delivered. We have gas and electric service to the house!

It should only be a few more weeks, a few more projects, and then we can go to closing!

Doors



The doors were installed this week. The garage door will remain white. The front door will be painted midnight navy to match the shutters.

A Peak Inside




These are our cabinets. Can't wait until they are unpacked and installed. The kitchen is the room I'm most looking forward to see!








Dining room windows came out so nice. They let in so much light.







This is the family room. The door on the right is the basement door.

Walls





We have sheet rock! The walls are all up and the next step is spackle. It really looks like a house now. I'm posting another pic of the outside. It's one of the best pics Theo has taken to date. We are so happy with the way the exterior looks. We can only hope to be as pleased with the interior!

A Different View




Here are two pictures that show a different view of the area. One is from the backyard and shows the retaining wall. Our property goes to the tree line so we also have the flat area on the other side of the retaining wall. The other picture is a view from the upstairs looking out at the development. The houses are popping up one by one!
