We Officially Closed!

We had our final walk-through and closing on Friday!  Wow!  I cannot believe how fast this whole process has come together!  We, along with our Realtor, went through the house with our Project Manager. Only a few minor things that had to be fixed, all of which our PM and my husband found:-)  Everything looks so amazing!  There are a few things on the outside that they will finish up in the next few weeks.  So here it is!  The final product!  (We are painting the cabinets white so the kitchen will look even better when that is finished.)

All of the doors have these beautiful handles!

The entryway

These lights are throughout the house.  They match all of the  fixtures.
The dishwasher looks good, glad we upgraded and it is not a bottom  model.  That is not my mess on the counter:-)

The kitchen will look awesome once it is painted!
Morning Room looks great!






The great room and fireplace!

I love the doors on  the closet in the "future baby's room"

Laundry room shelving and flooring
The much needed tub!!
We get our keys on Tuesday! D is on a trip until Wednesday night so we will start moving on Thursday after we order our fridge!  So much to do in the next few weeks!  We are so blessed!

We Have Brick!

The brick went up and the flooring has been laid!  Now it is just the finishing touches.  We walked through with our Realtor on Friday and found a few things that need to be fixed.  They gauged a doorway in the guest bath, that will need replaced.  There were a few squeaky boards.  They have two windows marked that will be replaced. We also found a few nail pops but I am not sure if they will just hold off until the 10 month check up.  Oh and I swear that I was supposed to have a nice kitchen faucet but it is a cheapo...I am hoping that changes otherwise that will be replaced...We made a list of stuff to ask our PM.  We scheduled our closing today and got homeowners insurance  taken care of!!  NVR's in-house people were the best deal.  So we have our final walk-through at 10am on Friday, April 5th and then go to sign our closing papers at 3pm the same day!  Then we get the keys April 9th!  I will be going as soon as I get out of work...I will have to move my private lessons at the gym that night!!  We are so excited!  My mom got some good pics of the inside so I am just posting one of the outside with the brick.  The door will be black closer to closing day.

Framing and Pre Drywall Meeting

I went for our pre-drywall meeting on February 27th!  It is amazing how much they get done in a short amount of time.  D got called onto a trip and was unable to go with me but we decided to send me and his dad so we do not delay the date of completion.  Our PM gave me a date of April 5th or 6th for the new home orientation and April 9th to officially get our keys!  Our PM is so thorough.  He found a few things that needed fixed.  Everything else looked great.  They insulated last Thursday or Friday and started the drywall.  We are going to go visit this weekend to see what is going on.  I cannot believe how quickly this is going.  I am hoping they were able to start the siding.  the weather was only a little snowy this week.  They had scheduled the bricker to come on Monday but that was dependent on the weather so I am interested to see if they were able to do any of that....

I started that post about a week ago:-)  Things have been busy in our household.  So let me just post  the photos so you can see the progression.  We went this afternoon and it looks so great!  A few cracks need to be fixed but overall it is lookin' good.

Laundry room

These pictures below are from today...They had the brick up last Friday when D drove past but then tore it down... It seems as though they dropped the wrong color of brick off, one of my coworkers said that a new build by them had the same thing happen.  So perhaps they dropped the pallets off at the wrong house and we got theirs and they got ours...oops! 
Our siding is Irish Thistle, Sandy Tan, and White trim, brick will be Sugar Creek, and they will paint the door Black Fox.
