Vinyl siding and shutters

The vinyl siding is done 😄

Porch 

:)

You can see the boys' school from the front door, I love that it is walkable distance. 

 

Floors!! And so much more!

This week they completed the floors!! And we saw a lot of other changes as well. 

Here is a sneak peak :

They had the floors covered to finish the other work. They look amazing!!! I have been waiting to see how it would look ever since we picked out the hardwood floors.

We did the entire first floor with hardwood floors. Main reason, carpet + kids = scary. 

Next favorite: granite counter top!!! 

It goes perfectly with the caninet color. Our sales associate at the design center was very helpful in picking out our options. We had so many to choose from. 

The backslash.. 

They also put in all of the light fixtures

Finally the vinal siding: 

They weren't able to complete it because is the weather but it's coming together really well!! 

Fireplace, paint, tiles

This week we saw that they started on the tiles in all the bathrooms 

Master bathroom shower 

A little accent :)

12 inch tiles which were an upgrade 

Tiles in the basement bathroom. I think this was a smaller upgrade. 

tiles in the boys bathroom. 

Fireplace

A little fun with Andrew. 😃

My double oven!! I am so excited to see it :)

Another favorite of mine, the front porch. They also added the brick. 

Drew admiring his new home :)

So, I think they will start working on the vinal siding, we saw the matrial outside. I...or we chose a really light yellow color for the vinal siding. I always wanted a yellow house. The door will be a dark green. We chose all the colors in August so my memory is a bit foggy. I love that Ryan Homes (builders) allows us to pick the colors, they have a huge variety. 

More next week! 

Cabinets, dry wall, paint, molding and doors

This week they started putting in cabinets .

Every week the house looks different. It's so crazy for fast the house is coming along. 

Here are a few pictures of the neighborhood. 

Our street name: Winning Glory drive. Not even on the map yet! 

The elementary school that the boys will go to. It's just up the street. 

Can't wait for next week! 

Wiring and HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning)

Last week the roof was finished, the wiring was done and the HVAC were installed. 

Also, on Friday we had our pre drywall meeting. This meeting focuses on what is it that goes inside the walls before the drywall goes up. Also, at this point they were able to tell us when our closing date will be, which is December 26th!! :) 

We also locked in our interest rate with NVR mortgage. We were able to lock it in at 3%. 

Here are some pictures.. 

Finished roof.

The bathtubs were put in too..

They say at this point everything goes pretty quickly! Looking forward for next weekend to see the changes..
