Week 12 - Closing Date!

We're in the home stretch now! We received our settlement date: final walk through 5/30 and settlement on 6/2! We are thankful to Ryan Homes for accommodating our dates--they actually had us settling that last week of May, but we wanted a June date so we could pay our first mortgage in August and have one month of "free" rent.

This process went by so quickly. I can't believe we are less than a month away from owning our first home. No more throwing money away in rent!

We stopped by today and took some pictures. We were also told we should have our dormers installed next week. I'll throw a freaking party when I see those dormers up :P

Carpet in the basement

First floor - faucet was installed and we have water

Little peak on our hardwood floor

Plumbing fixtures were also installed. No peed in there, we checked

Driveway, sidewalk, apron... just missing landscaping

Back of the house was filled, too. We are making peace with the idea of a sloped backyard

Week 11 Updates

Here's our updates for this week. We are so ready to enjoy this awesome deck! We also met the neighbors who live right behind us (our decks face each other). I believe they rent, though, so I guess they won't be around for too long? They seemed nice, nonetheless.

Back of the house. Wish the backyard was flat :|

Can't wait to grill!

Granite and sink were installed 

Garage door and concrete pathway

Bathrooms Progress

We stopped by the house today. Our railings were stained and the walls are painted (not sure how many coats were done and will be done). The main update is in our bathrooms--we got flooring and tiles. It looks great! Oh, and we got our electric meter, so no risk for delays :D

Trim Carpentry and Other Things :)

We made an appointment with our PM to check on the house since we couldn't walk the home on Saturday. Our PM said he doesn't have to be around for us to walk the house, just give him a heads up and check with the SRs first. We're cool with that.

The walls have been sanded and primed, we have cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms, interior doors, and trim base. Looking good! We're so happy we got to see the house today. They should be tiling this week and granite will be coming soon, too :)

Hall bath and the infamous bath tub!

Master bathroom ans our double sinks

With an empty house, that island looks huge!

And this is what's going to be our dormers! :D
