more waiting.....

I know my last post I was screaming about TEN MORE DAYS>>>...


but there were a few delays....

So now it's really TEN MORE DAYS!!! Hopefully, lol. The truck is officially booked to deliver the house on Wednesday, September 5th.

In the meantime.........wouldn't this look great in our downstairs bathroom?? Whenever we get around to finishing the basement that is.....




Or maybe a more streamlined vanity with a vessel sink like this....

Insane in the membrane...

Today was such a crazy whirlwind day!! We were on the road for 12 hours!!! Ack!!

We left this morning @ 8 am to travel to the plant where they are building our home, we had a tour appointment at 11. I was hoping that they would have started our home, so that we could get an idea of when it will be arriving. Much to our surprise, not only had they started our home, but they have already framed it up, did the plumbing, electrical and were finishing the drywall today. The next step is insulation, which they do from the outside!! Getting a prefab definitely has it's advantages. One being it's built totally indoors in dry conditions. Also, allowing them to do electrical, plumping and insulation from the outside, making it faster!

Around 4pm we arrived back at the property to see some action there as well. The foundation forms were being removed, as well as the installation of drain tile. That was all completed by 5pm. It's looking great.

We also got some good news from our contractor....the house in scheduled to arrive in TEN FREAKING DAYS!!!! HOLY CRAP!!

After the house arrives there will be some finishing work left to do. Some of the siding will have to be completed, hook ups, trim, paint.......I am *this* close to having all of our paint colors picked. They will also have to install the hardwood flooring and ceramic tile....AND build the two car garage! We are hoping to move in two-three weeks after the house arrives on site.

As this post is useless without pics I will post some pics that I took today OF THE ACTUAL HOUSE!! Can you tell I am excited?? HEHE!!

So sweet!!

They poured the foundation today!! The weather was real crappy, raining etc...so I couldn't get any good pics. I will take more on Saturday!

Movin' & groovin'

Things are movin' and groovin' up on our property!! It is very relieving to see some action up there, because I was getting pretty stressed out!!

The footing was poured on Friday. I think that they will remove the forms tomorrow and install the forms for the 8 foot foundation. I'm not sure if they will pour the foundation walls tomorrow or Tuesday.

Here are some pics of what it looks like so far!!

P.S....no shots of the two car garage yet as that will only go up after the house is completed!


Outline of the entire house....


Cut out in the dining room area (there will be three windows here)....

Breaking ground!

FINALLY!

Something has begun, we no longer have an idle piece of property.

They began excavating our land last Friday. Nice to see the beginnings of something....too bad nothing has happened since!!!

The cement can't come until tomorrow, so they stopped digging on the land as we were getting a lot of rain over the weekend and more today.

Hopefully it will be moving and grooving on the land starting tomorrow or Friday!

Swamped...

Obsessed over.
Swimming in.
Can't stop.
Can't decide.
Needing help....

WITH PAINT SAMPLES!! AHHHHHHH!!!



I can't make up my mind and every color looks the same to Jamie, lol.
