Week Two and Three Of Construction

Luckily our new neighborhood is on my way home so I plan on swinging by weekly to check out the progress, unfortunately for me I can't wait a full week LOL so in a little over two weeks time I'm driven by at least 4 times to checkout the progress :-) This last time my husband came with me to see the progress. We get weekly calls from our PM letting us know the progress and so far everything is right on schedule and mother nature is being fantastic us! I am keeping my fingers crossed she stays happy :-)

So below you can see our basement and concrete footers and foundation has been laid on week 2 and on week 3 they have begun framing! Sorry for the bad pics on week 3, it is hard to get up high enough to see everything. I will next time, promise!

Week 2:

Week 3:

We have broken ground! Woo hoo!

Sooo sorry for my late post, I just started a new job that is consuming most of my time right now, but I just feel so blessed! So, my husband and I met with our Project Manager on September 23rd, which was a fantastic meeting. We went through all of the details, the time line, the blue prints of the house, basically just a line by line of what we selected and what they are building. One awesome thing, which I do not know if they do this in other communities- is that we had an option to have a deck added on to the house instead of have the brick facade come all of the way to the ground. We chose to have the deck because we thought that might be a really nice addition to have right away and we didn't mind having the siding go all the way to the ground in the back of the house. It's not the right choice for everyone but it was really conducive for our needs. We eventually plan on making the deck larger and run all the way across the back of the house. This was going to be a project way down the road so it will be nice to have a deck right away for grilling and enjoying that sunshine :-)

As I said, the meeting was on September 23rd, they were planning to break ground on September 30th (which they did, even though the weather report was calling for a ton of rain) and our finish date is scheduled to be December 21st, Ha! Merry Christmas to us lol. Our hope is that it will finish just a tad early. We have a little one and I don't want to be in flux during the Holidays, however, we are very excited it will finish early. Our original date we were given was January 15th, so the earlier the better. I have some pictures below. I have driven by three times since they broke ground and every day it seems like they have done so much more than they day prior. I even drove by on Saturday and they were out there working.

On another note we locked our interest rate in today as well which is very relieving and it is lower than our first initial estimate when we met with our lender. So good news all around, let pray it stays that way :-)

So all in all, so much excitement and I swear this house is going to be done before I know it! Can't wait to post more pics soon!
