No more "peeps" guys.. we've got the real deal! Framing began this week & is now almost finished. :) We have definitely had more than enough snow setbacks the past two weeks, so I'm looking forward to warmer weather and being completely framed so that work inside can take place! Across our lot we saw doors and windows lined up which I'm assuming are ours. Is this really real?!

| The only thing that seems to be missing is the windows on the landing of the stairs both going upstairs and down to the basement. The wood framing in the middle of the house on the left side looks different than the rest of the wood, so I'm assuming there will be placement of windows as we understood them to be. |

| That port-a-john.. ha! You can see the bonus room over the garage taking place. |
When we stopped by to scope out the newest sights, we ran into what will be our neighbor two doors down. That was
extremely awesome to meet someone in person! They are building a Hemingway as well. Hemingways by Ryan Homes were once hard to find, but now I'm sure we will be seeing them everywhere! :) It's pretty apparent they are doing the homes two at a time per stage. They currently have two more lots dug out, our home and our next door neighbors being framed, and the model and another home currently getting trade installation done. According to our PM the trades (
HVAC, plumbing, & electrical) will be by later next week then that leaves us to schedule our pre-drywall meeting.
REALLY?!

| There will be one more home in between ours in the middle and the home that is on the right |
We didn't get to drive down the back alley which houses our row of homes driveways because there were still some people around cleaning up and moving machinery. But that's okay, we will probably stop by tomorrow, because now that the framing has taken place, the moment of truth relating to space between the houses and how much backyard we get will be evident. Honestly, it seems like the space in between the homes was
more than I expected, so I'm pleased and the hope the backyard will be the same. :) They haven't finished the full framing of the roof or the bonus room over the garage just yet. Also, we will have a
half porch on the left side of the house. I'm looking forward to that look! Plus, I've never had a porch and my husband has been dreaming about one for years - so
cheers to porches!

Wow, y'all are moving right along. The bonus room above the garage makes the house look huge. Good to know they are doing about 2 at a time. I wonder who will be my timeline partner, lol. We plan to stop by this weekend to see how our street is coming. Last we heard from our SR we should have already broken ground by the end of this month, but since we didn't hear anything, my guess is we are delayed. Congrats on framing, makes it seem so much more real, lol
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, we finally are moving along! Still doesn't feel real, you know. I'm really looking forward for you guys to get to start too. It's GOT to be soon! I saw the footers placed for a home which seems to be on the back row where you guys are today. Fingers crossed! I really think the pace and the method of doing two at a time is a good one - you're bound to have a timeline partner nearby! :)
DeleteWow they are moving fast. It looks like your whole street will be done by Spring. It's awesome you met your neighbors. I've been thinking of housewarming gifts for those that build on our street. It seems like a great way to introduce ourselves, and hopefully get to be nosy and check out their houses. Lol
ReplyDeleteIt feels like they are going extremely fast despite the hold for the past two weeks because they more than made up for it this past week! :) I'm hoping the whole street will be done by Spring because then no construction noises directly beside us. Just behind us. ;) That's a great idea - doing housewarming gifts for your neighbors. You'll have to let me know what you come up with! And I don't disagree.. totally love checking out the other homes. :) It's the best part!
DeleteThey are moving fast!! It's amazing to see that they are building all of these homes at the same time and pace. I'm sure it was fun to meet some of your soon-to-be neighbors. We haven't been able to that quite yet, but I'm really hoping that it happens soon!
ReplyDeleteSeriously! It feels like they are moving crazy fast. Although, I'm really not complaining by any means. :) I'll take it! It's pretty neat seeing as how they really do seem to have a method to the madness with two being done at the same pace/stages. I'm sure you're going to start seeing neighbors popping in and out of your area as well now that you guys are finally starting! Yay! :)
DeleteI'm impressed with how quickly your house was framed! It looks great! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! We are almost on the same timeline. It's so exciting! Can't wait to see what this next week brings you guys. :)
