Tape, Putty & front patio additions - April 15, 2006

Yesterday I went with my friend Hildie to show her the house since she was in town from California. Since she is my first girlfriend who saw the house, I took a picture of her near the garage. We also took a few pictures of the view from the side of our house.













Today Adam went to the townhouse and he took a few pictures of the inside of the house and also the front of the house where they added the form for the patio.




















The next step will be the cabinets throughout the house. Stay tuned until next week.....

We Have WALLS! April 9, 2006

Today we went to our house to make sure they fixed something that wasn't included in the open wall inspection and when we walked in, all of the dry wall was placed. It was neat to see the rooms formed. The homes in the front of our house are also starting to form and we are seeing how much open space we have. Below are pictures Adam took on our visit today.


The picture on the left is of our living room and the door on the left is the bathroom. The doorway going towards the back of the fireplace is the kitchen.






This is our kitchen. The cut out is our pantry - for those of you that have seen our pantry, you know this is a great size for us!! The wall in the middle of the floor is the island. Those boxes are the tape and putty to finish the walls which they will work on this week.





This is the master bedroom








This is the entryway of the house

Update on the New House - April 4, 2006

Last Friday, March 31 we went to our house and did the open wall inspection. This basically is where we make sure all of our wiring is correct before they cover it up. We didn't take any pictures on this visit since there really isn't anything different to see. They are going to start the drywall in our house and so we can't go to the house for about 2 to 3 weeks. When we do at the end of the month though we will take pictures! May and June will be very exciting months to check out the blog because after the drywall is in they will paint, put in the cabinets, floor, counter tops and so on. Check back at the end of April!
