Our move-in date has changed.
Things are going well, but it seems that the builders don't want to be rushed and there are lots of things to be figured out still.
So now we will be moving in on November 28th and I don't think it will change. But I guess it is still possible to move to an even later date.
I'm going to keep hoping and praying that it doesn't change again. I'm ready to move in.

October 25th - Driveway and MORE!
The driveway has been poured, the granite countertops are in and the basement is drywalled.
We will (hopefully) be moving in on November 15th and so far everything looks like it is on track.
Here are the most recent pictures:

The elevator:
The drywall in the basement:
The stucco on the outside (this is the back of the house, under the deck):

October 11 - Cabinets and more
So things seem to be happening faster and faster. The pictures below are from two weeks ago when Preston and I showed the house to my brother, his wife, my sister, her husband and their little baby.
The fabulous news is that our move-in date is now NOVEMBER 15! Three weeks from today.

Wow does time fly. I have been meaning to post for over a month - again!
So I'll add pictures and some commentary.
Things are moving fast these days!
Here are pictures of the house as of September 21:
The basement waiting for the concrete to be poured (Notice the tub/shower hanging from the ceiling):
The living room with the fireplace:
The back deck - taken apart and beginning to be put back together!

September 15
So things are starting to move again. I hadn't been to the house for awhile. We needed to get pictures of the inside, so I went on Monday morning (Sept. 15). I was surprised to find that the drywall was done on the main floor AND it was already painted! The house does look bigger and I started to get really restless...I would LOVE to move in sooner than December 1. However, the floor of the basement is still not poured, but if the weather holds it will be poured on Monday!
This was something that was new to me. For some reason I always thought that the walls AND the floor of the basement were poured at the very beginning of the construction. But it turns out that the walls get poured and the house goes up BEFORE the basement floor is poured. Which makes sense when you think about it. The plumbing has to go into the floor and this is difficult to do before the house is built or after the basement floor is poured! Anyways, I will be so excited when the basement floor goes in. Right now the basement is simply dirt, soil and clay with pipes and rocks everywhere!
Here are a few pictures of the inside with the drywall and paint:
The dining room and kitchen:
The living room with fireplace:
The master bedroom:
There is more happening outside the house as well. The concrete layer is now being applied before the stucco goes on. A view from the front:
A view from the side:

August 19th - almost a month ago!
So it has been a hectic month...and I haven't posted in awhile. Here are a few pictures I took on August 19th, a few days before I flew to Halifax for my Brother's wedding!
Here the siding is starting to go up (the wrap!):

After this the house was stalled for a bit. We had to wait for an elevator problem to get sorted out. We figured that out towards the end of August and then started making some hard decisions about the deck. I thought we had finished making all our decisions, but it turns out that there are lots more little decisions to make.
