Well surprise surprise surprise! The lawn and shrubs are in! The electricity was turned on and we have running water! Plus we have a microwave, dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator! Everything is looking awesome!! The deck was painted and the stair rails were stained! Plus the fireplace mantel was installed! See some of the changes below:

Brazillian Cherry Hardwood Floor

On 04/07/2007 they installed our Brazillian Cherry Hardwood Flooring in the kitchen, half bath, and downstairs foyer. It looks awesome!! Plus, they installed the toilets and faucets in the master and guest bathrooms as-well-as installed the laundry room wash basin. Plus, yesterday, I purchased a new set of Maytag Bravos washer/dryer from the Home Depot and ordered blinds from Next Day Blinds! Things are definitly looking great!! We are about 2-weeks away!!

Lots of changes....

I've been out to see the house several times over the last week and I've seen lots of changes. The most noticable, and not to our liking, was the removal of our awesome door and it was replaced with the "sunburst." I don't know what the deal is with that. The other changes have all been for the better, for example, the deck appears complete, the lights and face places have been installed, shelving is up in the closets, the granite is in the kitchen, and the kitchen sink has been installed. Check out some of the photos below and be sure to view the updated model website (http://potomacclubmodel.blogspot.com) :

Shazam! What a change!

It's been about a week since I was last at the house. I was in Tampa celebrating Momma's B'day. Anyways, there have been many changes in the past week. The walls are up, seamed, and the first coat of paint up. Additionally, all the door frames and part of the molding has been installed. The fireplace has white marble surrounding it! And how cool is this...the paprika cabinets are up! Man do they look nice! Plus, they have the tile in the the guest and master bathroom laid (althought not yet grouted). And lastly, part of the deck has been installed. Everything looks great and Renee and I are super excited! Here are a few updated photos:

Walls Are Up

We have walls!! Renee was up this past weekend so of course we went by to see the house. It had changed SO much since she was up 2 weeks ago...we had brick and we had walls! Plus the vinyl is up. And today, 3/20/07, they poured our driveway. We also have a sidewalk and steps in front. So many changes in just a few days! I think they taped the walls today and tomorrow and the rest of this week they will probably put the initial paint job on (or whatever they call that) and then start installing the kitchen cabinets. Things are coming along nicely!! Stay tuned for more updates....

We Got It!

We got our "majestic" door! Thanks Levi! I was told that we were going to have the boring SunBurst over our door but we lucked out and got the one that we wanted the most! It's got the swirley deals on it! Looks awesome! Plus, today, 03/14/2007, they put the almond colored vinyl on the back of the house. I'll have to get some better pictures of it but the sun was going down. Anyways, the drywall is scheduled to go in on Friday.

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.
