We stopped by the house today and finally found ourselves locked out! They installed our front door & garage door so we couldn't get in. I was sad we couldn't see the inside, but very excited that we are getting so close to being finished.

| Shutter are on, lawn is down & landscaping is done, garage door in, lamp post & mailbox installed, sidewalk & driveway poured. I think we're just waiting on the front door to be painted for the exterior to be complete! |

| Since we were locked out, this was the best I could get of the floors being installed. Can't wait to see them (which probably won't be until the pre-settlement demonstration meeting on the 21st.) |
In other good news, we were pleasantly surprised with the work they did on the backyard. It will never be the large, wooded, private lot I wanted but our PM worked hard and got us as much space as he could (approximately 22' from the morning room to where the fence will be, which doesn't sound like much but it is a vast improvement over the 15' we originally measured!) We really hit the jackpot when it comes to PM and sometimes I forget that!

| I can definitely make do with this backyard! The line where the sod ends will be where the fence is placed & outside that will be the 6 cypress pine trees to give us some privacy. |
If there is a model in your neighborhood you might be able to get the key to your house from the rep at the model. That's what we did until they put the official locks on a few days before closing.
ReplyDeleteI considered doing that today, but the model isn't close to our section in the development (probably a 5 min drive) & we had a crabby toddler with us. It won't be too bad waiting though since I will actually be in Mexico from the 14-18 anyway and our meeting is the 21st.
DeleteIs that a concrete pad off of the morning room door?
ReplyDeleteIt is. My husband requested our patio be extended so it's flush with the side of the house & the morning room (I think it ended up being 10x17).
DeleteOh and there will be wood steps from the door to the patio that haven't been installed yet.
DeleteIs that a Rome in the background. Left side
ReplyDeleteNo, I zoomed in on the picture on my iPhone and comparing it to the floor plans on our community's website, it looks to be a Venice elevation K http://www.ryanhomes.com/file-grab/7bbe6112-eefa-46b8-8592-10173d6ee71a
DeleteDid you end up going with stone mountain clay colored siding? Are you happy with that color today? I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephanie! We did go with SMC & I'm very happy with the color scheme. My only gripe is the colors on both sides have very similar colors, so we sort of blend in :/. One of the downfalls to not having houses on either side of us when we made our selections b
