The big Move

Well we have officially moved into our new home. Its been a long tiring weekend, but its is well worth it. We were able to move everything from the condo to our house in one day, even took a break to watch the OSU vs Mich game. Still have a lot of work to go unpacking,but wanted to thank everyone that helped out on Saturday. You guys are awesome!! Also, big thanks to the late night contractor crew (Brian and James) for helping get all the blinds hung up Saturday night.

New closing date this friday 11/20/09

We met with our super last Friday to walk through the house and identify anything we were not satisfied with. Besides a few paint touch ups and another coat of stain on the hand rails everything looks really great. We just got our carpet installed yesterday and its looks awesome. With everything well on track we are looking at possibly closing on our house this Friday 11.20.09. Crazy right! We will be meeting with Steve to go through our final walk through on Wed to go through an orientation and detailed walk through. If all goes as planned we will be moving in this Saturday.. we will keep you posted but right now things are looking pretty good.

Nov 25th.. not that far away.

So a lot has happened around the house since our last blog. The exterior is all complete with bushes and trees now planted. They will be laying sod on Monday.... goodbye dirt. On the inside of the house we have all the dry wall in place which already has a coating of paint. All t he doors and trim are painted through out the house. Monday we are finally going to get our cabinets delivered and installed. We have all the vinyl flooring installed and most of the hard wood in the foyer. Painter is suppose to come sometime this weekend to get another coat of paint on the walls since they have been touched up. You can see the color of the kitchen and master bedroom. We have a light green in the kitchen, which we love and a 2 tone color scheme for the master bath. The tentative closing date for our house is wed Nov 25th. which means we will most likely be moving during thanksgiving weekend. Going to be a busy holiday!!

Steve the super giving it to us straight!

This afternoon we met with our super on the job, Steve to do a walk through of the house before we get to dry wall. Tomorrow we will have the insulation inspected and then drywall will begin. He informed us that he will have a crew here all weekend getting all the dry wall completed so the house is ready Monday or Tuesday for prime coat. Today, they poured the concrete driveway, which looks great. They couldn't finish the apron as the city engineer needs to be present for the pour to make sure it meets all requirements. The siding is all finished and it looks great. They started insulating yesterday and will finish the attics after dry wall is installed. Its cool to see the house coming together.

And the insulation is free!!!

Danielle was able to stop by the house this afternoon and take a few more updated pictures. The house is coming along at a rapid pace. We stopped over tonight and talked with a few of the guys putting in insulation through out the house. They had a lot done and working late to have it all done by Friday. They need to be done by Friday so they can get ready for dry wall. The have the house just about finshed with siding, they have one side to finish. They also have the driveway laid out, just need to add fill stone and then pour it. Below is some new pictures. We will try and take some more of the pictures tomorrow..

Update.. soorry no pictures batteries died

Sorry... its been a while since we last updated the blog, just been busy. Danielle and I just got back from stopping by the house. As we pulled around the corner we saw police lights in front of our house.. yep.. But dont worry it was just a cop giving a teenage punk a ticket.
Last week they poured the garage floor, and basement. roughed in all the plumbing and electrical, installed all the HVAC. Today, they put on the garage door and started siding the house. The siding of the house on the house will be done tomorrow and we are just waiting on a few instepctions so we can start insulating the house with the pink panther and then getting to drywall. Things are progressing nicely.. We are still on track to close by the end of Nov... we should be at drywall by friday. We will try and get some pictures online sometime this week...

A quick update: Roof is finsihed, pooring concrete floor in basement and garage today, Hvac Monday and Electrical starts tuesday.
