September 28th

So, we had our pre-drywall walk yesterday. It was neat to picture where everything was going to go based on where cables and pipes were placed in the walls. They will put in the insulation next and then onto the walls. I think that's when it'll hit us that this is our home and not just some work site we've been visting for fun. They tell us that it will be ready around Christmas. That's one month earlier than I expected and 2 months earlier than Tim had thought. Either way, it's a little freaky that we're going to be living in a HOUSE (potentially) come New Year's!

Here are a few new pictures. Not much has changed since last week. They finished the exterior and put up a few more structural things on the inside. We have shutters! The front door will eventually match the shutters. Isn't it pretty?


Hi Tim


It's offically a house on the outside




Our Fire Place!


Looking down to the family room


From the Master looking down into Family room and Kitchen. We have a half wall now


Special master bath window. Acrylic Block. Noone can see in and there won't be a glare on the flat screen TV

September 22nd

It just gets better and better. Now we have brick and siding on the outside. On the inside we have plumbing, outlets and ventilation. I got to go inside today and even went upstairs! Here are all the updates...










The upstairs


Our corner tub!


Our bedroom


The bonus room

September 15th

Wow. We go there thinking, "how much more could they have possibly done?" and then we arrive and are just as shocked (if not more) than we were the week before! It looks like a house. An actual house. We're excited! Ok...more pictures


Look! A roof!




From the back. Look at all those windows!


The right side


Zoomed in with the camera into the garage

We didn't go in because the workers were there and we thought we would get in trouble. We know now that we were allowed and so we'll get some inside pics next week.

Saturday September 8

Went back to the house again today! Even more work has been done. Its really exciting. Here are a bunch more pictures...




The Garage again




The bay window in our living room


The kitchen and breatfast area


The back of the house!

We didn't bring the camera because we didn't know how much more would be done in just one day!! We had a meeting with the "super" about our plans - triple checking all of our options! That was neat. Anyway, here's a picture from my phone showing that we already have a second floor and walls.


sweet :)

We have sticks!

That's how our Shea Homes consultant put it!

Pictures from today, September 2nd.
