Photo Dump

Long time and no posts... Sorry.. It's been a really crazy couple months. The house is four weeks from being done and we couldn't be more excited!! It's been difficult getting good pictures because I usually stop by after work when the lighting is bad. Hopefully this weekend I will get some better pictures.

Big Changes

We have been really busy the last couple weeks so I haven't updated but the house is moving right along. There are workers there almost every time I drive by so I tend to only get pictures on the weekends or in the mornings if I drive by before work. Lots of progress and we are hoping to be able to move in by the end of March. Weather has caused a couple big delays but hopefully we can stay on schedule now.

Walls!!

The framers started yesterday and we already have a couple walls up! Scott is hoping the first floor will be framed by the beginning of next week.

Pool

The pool took almost 3 weeks but should be complete today!

We have had some rain delays but everything is moving right along.

Framing is set to begin Tuesday but we may run into some weather delays again next week. Fingers crossed they can start and finish on time!

Foundation and Lots of Rain

The foundation is done!!! We had a bit of a rain delay last week. Monday & Tuesday were spent fixing the damage but Wednesday morning brought 12 trucks of cement and the whole process was over by 4 PM.

The Workers loved my boots.

The pool was marked and staked but because of more rain, the inspection was delayed until today.  We are hoping to start digging Tuesday but it is also suppose to rain again this weekend.

Appliance Shopping and Rain Delay

This weekend we tackled appliance shopping. We have been looking at appliances for about the past 3 months and even added a bump out for the fridge in the plans before actually deciding on a fridge. Through Scott's job, we can get great pricing with Pacific Kitchen and Home so on Saturday while it rained, we went to their showroom in Best Buy to shop. We ended up with way more than what we originally planned but are very happy.  Our choices:

Range Top:
Thermador 48" Gas with Grill

Dishwasher:
Thermador Star Sapphire

Ovens:
Thermador 30" Double Wall Oven





















Warming Drawer:
Thermador











Refrigerator:
Samsung 34 cu. ft. with the option to have the bottom two sections be refregerators or freezers.

Wine Fridges:
Whirlpool

Washer & Dryer:
Samsung 5.6 cu. ft. front load washer and 9.5 cu. ft. dryer.

We planned on everything but the wine fridges and washer & dryer but we are happy to not have to worry about moving our current set. Also, the new set is over-sized so we will be able to wash a King comforter without any trouble.

Rain Delay....

The foundation is ready to be poured but because of some rain, we will have to wait until Monday.

The steel went in on Wednesday and Thursday, the plumber finished Thursday afternoon.  Our final structural inspection is today.  We should be pouring Monday.

This part of the process is pretty boring to me. I have a huge fear of stepping on a nail or tripping over something and hurting myself so I tend to take pictures from the street and not walk around too much.  The pool will stop progress on the house for about 3 weeks so they can dig and pour the pool so not sure how much updating I will do.  We are starting to pick finishes for the house so I can post some pictures of that.
