This week seemed like a slower week out of some of the past weeks we have had with the house building.
But, with that being said... they still got a LOT done. Our drywall is up, hung, nailed, taped and mudded (is that the right word?? LOL). The ceilings have been textured. Outlets are all cut out, recessed lights are all cut out, rough ins for fans and such are all cut out. To my untrained eye, it all looks good.
We GoPro'd our trip on Thursday while we were out there so y'all can see the progress. That post is
right here in case you missed it :-)
A couple of exciting things have happened this week! We heard from NVR about scheduling our closing! So now we OFFICIALLY have a countdown on the blog (and our phones, computers, haha) for our closing date! As of right now, it's scheduled for 7/26. Our pre-settlement date is up in the air and we should hear from our PM in the next couple of days to figure that one out. NVR gave us one date, and then our PM emailed and had two different dates. So we just have to figure that out.
For our progress email from our PM, he told us that drywall would finish up next week. Painters should be priming on Friday. AND! Siding should be started on either Monday or Tuesday.
And now for our photos. We went out today (Sunday) to visit our SR, Shelli, just because we hadn't seen her in a few weeks. Then we headed over to the house to see if there had been any more progress. While it's not really much visible progress from what it was on Thursday, it looks amazing and again, I find myself falling more and more in love with it every day.

Looking forward to this next week and seeing how the house progresses!! Slowly but surely, we are getting closer to being in our dream home!!!!
Holy crap - so much progress! And a closing date - AHHHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, because it's a TON of progress, yet I feel like this was one of the slowest weeks of progress, haha! It's all coming together so nicely though and I can't WAIT to be in!
DeleteWe just received a letter today that our Presettlement date is 7/26 too!! How fun! We might close at the same time!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! How are things coming along for you guys??
DeleteAwesome! Can't wait for your master bath to come together. We chose the same tile! Check out our Milan blog at www.ourmilanadventure.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHey Shane!
DeleteI added your blog to my list so I can keep up with the progress of your home! You guys will seriously LOVE the Milan! We had seen the home in our neighborhood and got to walk through it before the owners closed on it. They just recently built a model home in the Cincinnati area.
I look forward to following your progress!! And good luck with everything :-)
Thank you!! I was hoping your tile would have been installed so we could check it out. We meet tomorrow to finalize selections on exterior color and guardian next week. We went through an older Milan that had recently closed down and it was amazing! Seems so much larger than the Venice model from the neighborhood we're moving into. Congrats on getting a closing date :)
DeleteIts looking good!!!! Can't wait to see what they get done this week!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I seriously just love the house more and more each time I see it! Closing seems like so far away yet it's really not, haha! I just wanna be living inside those walls.
