Its Got to be Better than Wet Wall

The drywall is on its way up! Last Friday (June 15th) Noel and I met with Mike, our friendly KB Project Manager. He's the foreman for the construction on the house. Very nice guy! He had no objections to moving outlets around to where we asked. He immediately took care of any request we had... which is awesome!

Here are some photos of the drywall going up inside the house:

(View from the Kitchen into the living room. You can even see Noel smiling!)




(Inside the garage. The walls will be finished with drywall. Its just on its way up.)

Let There Be Light!

I thought I'd take a moment to offer up some more photos of what we are expecting to be inside the house. The features on the inside of the house were all designed and selected by KB Homes, as this home was an inventory home. After having seen the options that were selected for our home, and the other options available, Noel and I were thrilled, because we LOVED most everything they selected!




This is the style of lamps we'll have in the house. The chandelier will match, the outdoor light, even the pendant lights in the kitchen. Very nice looking style!





These are (obviously) the faucets that are going in the house. The one on the left is the Kitchen sink. The one on the right is the bath tub faucet in the master bath. The rest of the faucets will match this style.

Tomorrow is our Frame Walk with Mike. I'm sure we'll have more to post then...

Worst Clown Name Ever: Stucco

This is what our house looks like (as of Sunday, June 10th).

As you can see, the stucco work on the exterior has been completed. The house is really starting to take shape nicely! The interior framework has been completed, and we even have a front door now:

The electric and plumbing lines have been placed through the framework and the drywall has been ordered. Our next step is our Frame Walk with the foreman. His name is Mike.

Noel and I have already noticed a few things different than what we were expecting. Mostly just outlets and TV jacks in the wrong spots. I called Mike earlier this week, and he said we can move all that around pretty easily. The Frame Walk will be this Friday.

The other exciting news is that we received a letter from KB HOMES telling us that our expected closing date is between August 9th and September 9th... almost a month earlier than we first expected!!! Might even be in time for Mom and Dad's visit in late August. Wouldn't that be nice?
