Wow. I have been negligent with my updates! I haven't posted anything since August.
Well, there has been a lot that has changed. If you are interested in the pictures, definitely check out the September and October folders. The outdoor fireplace was completed, stucco went up and the exterior stonework has begun. Other items on the inside like the indoor fireplace, A/C, electrical and gas lines.
The inspection was this past week and was flawless, so we should be seeing insulation and sheetrock going up very soon! Also, the big sliding door arrived.
There has been quite a bit of delays with the sub contractors. Some of it is the subs having too many jobs and their poor scheduling. The rest belongs to our builder for not staying on top of things and possibly having a second sub for that job. A couple times I am the one that told the builder that there is nothing going on. Delays were expected, but still disappointing. We may be beyond that, we hope.
We also had a problem with the appraisal. They used the wrong square footage for the calculation which will throw off quite a bit numbers wise. The house has a second floor option. Apparently the appraiser used that also. I brought this up to the bank and it was explained to me that it was the covered patio and bbq area because they are part of the slab too. Well, I was right, it should not have been included. So now we have to get another appraisal. Ah, the fun of doing a custom build!
Enjoy the photos! We should only have a couple months left! We are ready to get moved in!
