Update.

Not much new today except the gables and the roof is pretty much done. We talked to our project manager today and he said we should have shingles by Wed. We also talked to him about the making sure we don't have a particular brick laying crew, working on another house down the street and looks not so great and we're paying too much for not so great :) he said that some people like that the lines aren't perfect (I call Bull on that one lol) we informed him we do like straight lines on our brick we're not going for "rustic" or anything. It's brick not stone! I might have to bust out a can of crazy if it looks like the other house (just sayin I've been known to go there) We also found out that the house on the other side of the farmhouse is also a naples. It will be interesting to see what upgrades they got and how much they paid. I know for sure we went with a more upgraded elevation and that we added the overhangs. At first I didn't really care about the overhangs but my husband is in the construction field and insisted on it, but I think it looks great so I'm glad we did. I'm sure his reasons were more logical than just looks :) More on Wed hopefully!

Framing almost done!!

Went by today to see that the framing is almost done. There is a crew working on the house on the other side of the farmhouse and we're pretty glad we got the crew that we did! The other one doesn't look nearly as nice! I feel like the crew we have took their time to pay attention to detail more, not that it took them much longer than the other crew but the other crew I get the feeling they are racing to get to the next job which sucks for the buyer and our crew didn't seem to have that attitude. Here are some pics!

Framing in progress!

So our framing crew are moving along fast! 2 days and they are almost ready to start on the second floor. I might actually have pictures a little later of it. But here is from yesterday and the day before. We took the crew a 12 pack yesterday since they were working so hard :)

We have a basement!!

Here's some pics of the basement timeline. This was about a week, CRAZY!!

First blog post!

My first blog post about this is a little late but better than never! We started our building process in July and now we currently have a first floor!! It's amazing how fast they build these homes they just poured the foundation a week ago. Anyways on the good stuff. We chose the Naples model, I think we got a pretty good deal on our lot because it sits next to a random historical farmhouse that is in the new neighborhood. I really liked that about the lot, but I guess most people didn't because the lots on either side of it had been sitting there for awhile! But works for us! Well hear are some pics of what has been happening since we started.



 These are pictures of the model home of the Naples. I really love the blue decor! We went with the dark expresso cabinets and morning room just like this one. We did at first have the fireplace in it but changed our minds after really looking at it. It's gas and we have a wood burning right now and seems like the gas is really just for show. So we changed that out for granite! Yay for me!! They greatest part of the Naples aside from it's size and affordability is the upstairs loft and laundry maybe now I can keep up on it......Ha don't hold your breath on that one!!
