A Peek at the New Place

The first time we stopped at the new house (July 13th) after signing papers, leaving a check and choosing the colors and accessories, I did NOT bring the camera to take pictures during our "It's Ours!" walk-through. However, I did remember to bring it on July 20th. I thought I'd share our new home. This is how it looked on July 13th. Also, this is how it looks this week. All rooms on the main floor were framed, sheet rocked and textured.

on July 13th, the basement was one large open space

except for this storage, utility room

We made another trip on July 20th to choose the kitchen back splash and checked on the house.

accessories I had chosen the week before

during the week, the basement was being framed

family room and

bedroom, bathroom, bedroom on the other side of the wall

We checked the house every trip or usually once a week since then, hoping to see something happening. On August 2nd the sheetrock for the basement walls had been delivered and the shower/tub had been installed in the bathroom.

Between August 2nd and August 17th, the sheet rock was put in place, the walls and ceilings in the basement were textured and then nothing until last week.

the doors, woodwork and cabinets were delivered to the garage

And then when we stopped on August 28th to show the home to some friends...

kitchen counter

kitchen island

bathroom counter tops

and all the paint, hardware, light fixtures, etc.

It was fun to see all the stuff in the garage as I did not remember all the colors I had selected.

I expect (because all the windows and bathtubs are covered in plastic) the house will be primed and painted sometime soon. We did see the roll of flooring for the bathrooms and laundry. The carpet has not arrived nor has the kitchen/dining room flooring. It is getting very exciting to see the stored things in the garage. Hopefully, some of it will make it into the house soon! That will also mean our trips to check on things will be curtailed as it nears completion.
