I am not sure if the photo's show it well enough but the hardy plank has now been painted and the color you see in this picture is now the color of the house, the color we chose, we were nervous about it since it had a tinge of green in it but it has turned out really well :-) Also we thought the house next door looked too similar color wise as well but on closer inspection theirs has more of a pink tinge so it does look different :-)
They had last week started putting up the shutters but I see this week they aren't much further with that but at least they finished the siding all round the house, also they have neatened up the entrance way so we could actually walk up the stairs into the house this week. We figure since they are moving so fast now, next week the house will probably start being locked up when the builders are not there and we will have to get the key from the agent on duty to go in ...
The railings have also been installed, now things are finally staring to come together and the house is starting to look like a house inside :-) The color of the oak on the stairs and the railings will be stained to match or hardwood floors eventually so it will look a bit different then but you can get an idea now :-) It's so good to finally see the stuff we chose in the design center come together and thank God everything looks ok so far :-) hold thumbs on the rest !!!
My kitchen is coming together too as you can see, the granite counter tops will probably come in the next week or so I would imagine. It's hard to see the entire kitchen from this angle but you can get an idea of what it will look like ... I hope :-)
They have also installed the cabinets in all 3 bathrooms as well as the laundry so things are coming together nicely. All the baths are installed as well.
This is the view at the back of the house, on Tuesday Dave and I have a meeting with the builder, they will be starting our deck shortly, then you will get a better idea of how the house will look at the back when it is done :-)
We didn't expect to see much change on our trip out there but as I said, we were pleasantly surprised :-) I think they are still aiming at being done before Christmas but we won't move in till mid January I am thinking, or we will start moving in around that time anyway !!!
On another note, today and tomorrow Jade has off school, they have two days of parent teacher conferences, today is ours and hold thumbs all is going well with Jade at school, I will give you an update later.
Have a good week.
