It was about an hour long, and seemed much quicker than I expected.
We were pretty prepared with questions as we have been hanging out at the new house while our current house is being shown. We have had 10 showings in 5 days but no official bites yet, but lots of interest so hopefully our current house will be off the market soon.
Our appointment was at 9am. We were at the house the night before due to a showing at our current home. The place was a disaster, and someone obviously got hurt pretty bad as there was blood all over the floor in the living room. By the time we got there the next morning at 9 for our appointment, everything was cleaned up. I understand it is a construction site, and did not expect them to have scrubbed the blood off the floor, sweep, and get rid of all the debris that was hanging out. I hope that person is ok, and of course we couldn't ask where all the blood had gone as Ryan doesn't really want you at the home site until closing for safety reasons (unless you have a prior appointment which can be made with the project manager at any time during the day.....but we work).
This appointment the framing, electric, plumbing, HVAC, windows installed, fireplace installed, and a quarter of the siding has been completed.
Garrett our project manager has been great. If I wasn't impressed with his service, I am now after the discussion about the house during the meeting.
So a little rant, I don't remember if I vented about where the water drain was placed in our basement. It is right in the middle of the portion of the finished basement. You will see this in one of the pictures. I was mad about it as we had already lost a finished portion when the electric came in at the wrong side of the house and we had a closet built for that box. It pushed our bathroom out so it just keeps eating away at the finished portion of the basement that we paid a lot of money for. In speaking with Garrett, he pushed one wall in the storage area back 4 feet and moved some of our cable jacks/electric jacks to another wall at no charge. He understood the multiple items that were taking away our finished space. This was great to hear! I didn't expect it and was impressed he would do that for us.
The place on Friday was a true construction site. There were so many contractors there, and so much going on when Garrett walked us through. We had drywall literally hanging off a crane when we were walking in. It was being moved up to a second story window. Garrett also gave us our solid closing date June 10-12th. It will be our 8th wedding anniversary on June 10th so we are hoping to close then as that would be a special anniversary event.
So, part of the siding was done on Friday, and some drywall. I wanted to get out of the house so I took my son up to the house today (Sunday), and all the siding has been completed and all the drywall has been hung in the house. In addition, our front step has been poured. It is just amazing how quickly they can accomplish these tasks.
Our siding is Spanish Olive with slate gray shutters. Eventually our front door will be painted Rookwood Green.
As always, here are some pics. Gmail seems to be having an issue, so I will add more when that starts working again.
