Pre-Drywall Inspection

I met with Robert Major of Major Home Inspections today for a pre-drywall inspection of our Inglewood. Things went fairly well with a few things that need to be addressed. Levi advised that he would address most of them (but NOT all of them). I did find out that we are getting the SunBurst over our front door (see pictures of model 3/11/07 entry) (unfortunately, we don't really have a choice). We are having the walk-thru on April 19, 2007 at 10:00 AM followed by the closing on April 23, 2007. Renee and I are extremely excited!! I got my loan locked at at 5.75% with Wells Fargo! (Ryan Homes wasn't too thrilled that I didn't go with NVR but that's another story for another day.) Georgi and I went thru the model today! They've done some interesting paint jobs in there! I posted additional model pictures.

Look At Our Brick!

Check out that brick! It looks very nice! Now they just gotta put the vinyl on the back!! I hired my own home inspector (Robert Major) to do a pre-drywall inspection Monday morning at 8AM. Then, I am meeting with Levi at 10:30 our pre-drywall meeting. Should be an interesting day at the house!

Brick Is Nearly Complete

They were working on the last part of the brick-laying today. I suspect that they will have the brick finished by the end of the day. It is really looking nice out there and starting to look like a home. I am having a personal home inspector out on Monday followed with my pre-drywall meeting with Levi on Monday as well. Then, they should start putting the drywall up next week. I noticed they had started on some of the electrical stuff yesterday as well. Be sure to view the PotomacClubModel blog for some pictures of all the finished homes. They got some basic landscaping down and are still working on the decks. I went to NextDay Blinds for some window covering ideas. Check out my Home Furnishing section on the right of the screen.

Days Away From Drywall

I met with Brink's Security today to mark out where I want the window contacts, phone lines, and cable outlets. They have the bricks about half-way up. I have locked in my Interest rate with WellsFargo. See some rough photos below (the kitchen is another model but similar to what we are getting):

Making Progress....

It's been over a week since I took some photos and posted them to the web. They have made decent progress on our Inglewood. The roof tile was laid and the house was wrapped in Green Guard Ultra Wrap (an air and moisture protector). Levi said the bricks would start going up next week as well. Renee and I got to go inside of our house the other day and they the skeleton walls for all three levels complete and were starting to do some of the air ducts. It shouldn't be long before they run wire and subsequently put up the drywall. The model is complete and Jon said furniture would arrive around 3/12/07. Here's a few photos of the progress:

Roof Is Up

On Wednesday/Thursday (2/21-22/07) they got the roof up...definitly making progress.

Trusses Are Up!

Today, Presidents Day, the trusses went up on all the units!! It was finally warm enough to melt some of the snow/ice (even after another few quick burts of snow yesterday, about 1/2 inch total).
