Re: Let get this home building on the way

Stopped by the house last night to make final design choices so we can move forward with the pre-construction meeting. I'm glad we stopped by because the plumbers were working on the in ground plumbing that will go under the foundation. They were plumbing to put a full bath in the basement, which is what we did NOT want, we wanted a half bath. Putting a full bath in the basement would mess up the floorplan configuration we wanted in the basement. Of course the builder noted that we would've ended up with a full bath for free, but it's not want we wanted. The plan is to move forward with the correct plumbing today. 

 

We bought our floorplan sight unseen. They are building a model like ours now, so the builder's rep walked us through that home yesterday so we can see how ours will look which was very helpful being able to see it in person. 

 

Here's other pictures of the foundation. From this angle, I am standing in the entry to the garage. Foundation2.JPGFoundation3.JPG

Re: Let get this home building on the way

Wow rookie,not sure i would have stopped a full bath install for free lol, bound to help resale value down the road (and appraisal). Our yard is fully installed now, the rear steps are about 99% done, just need some trim painted. They should be painting the foundation tomorrow.

Re: Let get this home building on the way

We are almost done! They completed the brick work yesterday. Out inspection is this upcoming Wednesday and our walk through is Thursday. We've submitted everything to underwriting and we're praying for it to go smoothly and that we get a CTC. 20170720_192719_resized.jpg

Re: Let get this home building on the way

We are less than a week away from our final walk through! The house is basically done. All that remains are repairs and touch ups. Some of the hard wood has been damaged so they will need to swap out a few boards. The stone work repairs will be completed early next week. Today is the county and 3rd party neighborhood inspection. The house looks fantastic, only 3 lots left in the neighborhood and its looking more likely that ours remain completely unique as no other homes so far have our elevation. On to the pictures!

Re: Let get this home building on the way

Met with the builder today and did final drawings to give to construction manager. We will schedule our meeting with him this week.

The lender was also there and we were told our credit will be pulled again on August 15 to get the loan process going.

We were also told that starting on Monday the construction team is moving to a new system that will allow them to build faster and our home could be ready 45 days earlier. As of now, scheduled completion date is October 28.

The in ground plumbing was all done and the water company has inspected and given the approval already. Next step is filling to complete the slab foundation.

Re: Let get this home building on the way

We had our inspection today. Only a few minor things came up. They're hard at aoek with last minute cosmetic stuff and cleaning. We have our walk through tomorrow afternoon! We also received out closing disclosure today as well. We're praying that everything goes smoothly and we get a CTC in the next day or so. We are scheduled to close Monday at 5pm.

Re: Let get this home building on the way

Our walk through today went well. Nothing major save for the AC. The thermostat was set on 78 yesterday when we had our inspection. Come today, it was still 78 in the house even through the thermostat was set on 75. They're going to take a look at that. Other than that and a cracked window and a few paint spots, that was it. We cleared underwriting today and we are just waiting on the the title work to be finished to get our CTC!

Re: Let get this home building on the way

Our walk through went well today too! There are few boards left replace inside for the hardwood, they ran out of extra and had to order more. Some touch ups in a few places are required as well.
