What day is this?

Oh yeah day 46 and 47...43 days plus to go. I say plus because... they are not giving up the exact day now; Builders.

Like we say...well anyways

I took a couple of pictures. Inside of the garage you will see a stack of boxes; These are the siding for front of the house and the color is Almond.



We went with siding because it was way less expensive than brick and the extra cash we can get more inside of the house. But there will be a brick water table that goes from the bottom of the windows down...remember the model elevation E. Also, there were three houses being built that went with the Covington E elevation...Two went with brink and we went with siding.

I believe the siding looks better. I will get a snapshot of their houses when available and you all can judge.

A little camera action.



Above is where the washer and dryer goes. I was going to wait for black Friday to get these but for half off from the builder, I couldn't resist. Frontload Washer GE Energy Star 3.6 DOE



And the twin GE 7.0 cu ft. Electric Dryer... MSRP they both are 899.99 each which we got 700 for both. So I couldn't resist. The 50% on all option had me sold.

Day 34 - The Wrap

The wrapping of the house



Inside of the house. First the basement rough-ins. Here is the basement flex room...we can do multiple things here (small bedroom for temporary guest or a fitness room to whip us in shape), it has a closet and full bathroom attached with two access doors.



Storage area right through the doorway



On this side of the basement is where the entertainment will be. 5.1 speakers will be installed into the walls and ceiling for maximum audio performance.



Then as you proceed upstairs you will notice a closet on the right.



Now upstairs; first floor Kitchen, family room, library, I didn't take f the dining room and living room, sorry more to come later.



The Living Quarters

Day 32 - Moving Right Along

Not too many pictures today, I think I wore my camera out, lol.  But as you can see the is installed.

They were installing the fireplace when I got there.

It appeared to me that they were installing the HVAC unit.

Day 31 - Roofing

They are not finish yet...




The side of the garage, two windows were added by our community for free, YAY. This is one of the reason why the permits took so long, our developers and the community (The Preserve) were not on the same page which resulted in the losing some buyers. They told them that every house must have two separate doors for the garage and these added windows. Some changes to the windows were made as well.

Other communities model of the Covington don't have the two windows on the garage. Also on the other side of the house the library and living have extra window added as well which were optional.



And more....

Oh, remember these


Well, here are two of them here inside of the garage holding up the garage ceiling...and above the garage I believe should be the bathroom in the my oldest daughters quarters (when she is not away at college).

A long post today but we are getting more excited. Today they will finish the roofing and the wrapping of the house will be next...enjoy!!!
