The finished house...

I know this is kind of late but we didn't have internet for the longest time. Here are some pictures of the house! They are just random ones I've taken throughout the last few months. We ended up moving in over labor day weekend. We plan on doing our landscape/grass this spring so that will be fun. Other than that we are just enjoying being at home. We plan on doing lots of stuff to the house over the next few years so stay tuned!

Many updates!!! Still isn't done though!!

Okay...so the door is painted to match the shutters, we have toilets and mirrors...and our lights in the house work. The house has been painted...but they painted the trim to match the walls....wtf! I'm hoping they are planning to paint it white. The picture is behind the stove so you can see what the paint color looks like...since the trim is painted that color too, you can't really even tell it's painted. Ugh! What else....oh the carpet color we picked. That should be in by Friday or Monday. That's just a sample in the picture. SO yeah, I'm pissed about the trim. Our master bathroom closet is too small and too close to the toilet to have a door...so that pisses me off. Along with the closet trim and shelves being uneven. It just looks like crap. Ummm, we turned wasted space into a built in shelf in our bedroom....except they decided not to put the shelves in...so we just have a big hole. Another project for us to do. They already ruined the top cabinet by the garage door from opening it and slamming it on the cabinet, so that needs to be fixed now. I'm just a little disappointed with this whole thing. It's taking so long to build and they're not even building it right and ruining our stuff along the way. It is no longer a brand new house. And...2 weeks left of Aug.! If we are not in by Aug. 31st..............I won't be happy. This is just ridiculous anymore.

Stove, dishwasher, doors, garage lights...

Things are looking good! I absolutely LOVE our interior doors!!! I can't wait until they install them. The kitchen is looking great...love all of the appliances. I noticed the garage lights on my way out...exciting. It was pretty dark by the time I made it over to the house last night so I couldn't really see much. I don't think they painted yet...or maybe some rooms are...I don't know. We still have yet to see the carpet samples so hopefully we get those soon so we can get this house done!!

Siding is done, shutters are on and our new vinyl is in!!!!

Yay!! Finally our siding is done! We love our shutters and we are very happy with the new vinyl. Much better!! So excited!!! We should be doing carpet samples this week and making a decision on that. We'll definitely be moved in sometime this month!! Can't wait!!!!!

More light fixtures and flooring update!

I love our light fixtures! I never actually got to see what they would look like...very cute! That's pretty much all they did today...and a bit more siding. They are so slow...like it's ridiculous, but, as long as we're moved in sometime in August, I don't care. I'm ready for this crap to be over with! Sick of waiting!!! Anyway, we had a very long house appt today. I knew what I wanted to do but Kyle couldn't decide...and then he decided...and then he changed his mind again. So we all just drove out to the house with the vinyl samples and picked one that we both liked. So, we are definitely changing the vinyl. Even though we have to pay, we got even more of a deal than what the last blog states. The way we look at it, we'll have to pay to replace it now (for a good deal) or later (for probably a lot more + work!) So, we are doing it now. And I am so happy! The vinyl that's in now is just plain UGLY! And I'm glad we won't have to look at it much longer. We'll probably have the new stuff in by Tuesday or Wednesday. We are changing our carpet color too. We picked out the one we wanted but just to be safe we are going to get 3 different samples to take with us to the house to see which one will look best.

Trim, shelves, wrong doors...

We have lots of trim, some of the closets have shelving, and most of our doors are installed. They are the wrong doors tho (6 panel instead of 2 panel)...but that will be fixed tomorrow probably. The house is looking really nice! I'm getting excited! As far as the vinyl in the kitchen goes, we can replace it if we want but not for free. Dang! It is $1,200 to get something else in but our agent talked them down to $900 and then she said we could use our $500 that we get from referring our friend Scott toward it and she would put $200 of her own money down so really it would only be $200. I'm all for it...just gotta talk to Kyle and see what he thinks. We have a house appt. tomorrow because I want to change the carpet color. Luckily they haven't ordered that yet so we can still change it. We went with a color called sugar cookie...I'm sure you can picture what that looks like, but I'm thinking it needs to be darker and I'm sure Kyle will agree.

Oooops...and we have cabinets too! =)

Okay so, funny story. Haha! I pull up to the house this evening and it just so happens that our agent, Meredith, pulls up at the exact same time I do. She came with the paperwork and vinyl samples to see what happened. So we go in and get the samples out, compare, look at paperwork and guess what....!!!...we were wrong. It is right. After seeing the samples, I saw what had happened. The way the sample pieces were cut was very deceiving. The small ones looked bigger than the big ones....if that makes any sense. So, without me even asking, Meredith said she would see if we can get that out and get something else in. So I went ahead and picked out a color...same size as the bathroom but a tad darker. So I'm praaaaaying that we can do this. Meredith brought some of her family members with her and they even agreed that it looks horrible. So, if we can't get this done then that will be our first project this winter. Yuck. Anyway, so we have cabinets!!! Sooooo pretty!!!!!!!!!! I love them!!! Kyle wasn't with me so he hasn't seen them in person yet but I sent him a pic and he said he loves them too. I was very happy to see how much space we had left...a lot more than I expected. They even look a lot better than I imagined them. I'm very happy with the cabinets!! Our bathroom cabinets are installed as well. The bigger sink area is in the main bathroom and the smaller one is in the master bathroom. We even have a few light fixtures up already too! Yay! So, it's looking good...except for the vinyl in the kitchen. We'll be moved in sometime in August for sure. Probably more toward the end now. Oh well...that's not that far off!
