Vinyl. =(




So, we have vinyl...but it isn't really a good thing at the moment. Let me explain. I walk into the house and am completely discusted immediately! I think to myself, this vinyl is absolutely hideous...how on earth did we decide on this color/size for this part of the house!?!? I just stood there and stared at it for like 2 minutes straight....wondering what the heck we were thinking. So, I walk to the bathrooms to see if they put vinyl there too and they did!....but I like it. And then I realize...they put the vinyl in the wrong rooms. SERIOUSLY! THEY PUT THE VINYL IN THE WRONG ROOMS!!!!! I could not believe it. So, the smaller tile vinyl is in the kitchen/dining/foyer area and the bigger tile vinyl is in the bathrooms. It should be the other way around. I specifically remember picking these colors out too. Here's how that went...we picked our bathroom sink colors out and kitchen colors out before vinyl colors...because the samples were never there when we were. So, when it came time for that, we decided on the larger tile vinyl because it was the one we both liked the most. So, I decide to pair it up with the bathroom colors to see if it goes...and it didn't because the sink color we picked was too light and it wouldn't have looked right. So we tried to get a different sink color...couldn't do that because they already made it and ordered it. So we decided to do a different color vinyl and after picking it out, we made the comment about how it would look great in our bathrooms because it matched the sink color better and THE TILES WERE SMALLER (more bathroom like). THAT is how I know they messed up. And because the bathroom vinyl looks absolutely horrid in the kitchen/dining/foyer area. You wouldn't think it'd be that bad but TRUST ME. It is horrible. Yep, so that sucks because vinyl isn't easy to tear up...not only that but they will probably have to re-order it and who knows how long that will take. Plus, it will probably delay everything else that was scheduled for this week. Lovely. Not a good day for the house.

Ready for paint!


It looks like our entire house is sanded and ready for paint! So this week should be a good house week. We're hoping to see paint and trim for sure....and maybe flooring or cabinets!!! Either way, it will be good! If we're right on schedule then we have 3 weeks till move-in!!!!!

More siding, ceiling and closets are painted and sanded.







The ceilings are done...just need the light fixtures now. The insides of all of the closets are also painted and all of the closets are sanded. They added more siding...the entire right side is sided. I can't wait until they put the shutters up...excited to see what they look like on the house. That's about it...nothing too exciting. I'm surprised I even noticed the ceiling. Haha!

More siding! Cabinets and countertops are in!












Loving the siding! While we were at the house today we looked in the garage and saw all of the boxes!!!! So excited!!!! It's so close to being done. There is a pic of the countertop color. It goes really well with the maple cabinets...you will see later. And you can see the white corners on the house now. Yay! We love it! Can't waaaaaaiiiiit!!!!!!!!!

Drywall is complete!


I was amazed to see that they did ALL of the drywall in 1 day! The house looks completely different! I actually kind of got lost when I was walking from bathrooms to bedrooms...haha! So, next step is to sand all of this and then PAINT!!!

Siding and soon dry wall!!




At first I wasn't sure if I liked the siding color but the more I look at it, the more I like it. Once we get our shutters up I'm sure it will look even better. We went inside to see if it was all insulated yet and that's when we saw the drywall! The drywaller will be out on Friday to start that. I can't wait!! If this house is going to be done by the time we were told, then that means we have 3 weeks left! Seriously, I feel like I'm going to be blogging about this forever. It just seems like the day we get to move in will never come! We're getting more and more anxious everyday.

Insulation




It's about halfway done then they will put up dry wall or whatever. That will arrive on Friday so probably next week they will start on that. Then the fun stuff begins!...paint, cabinets, countertops, flooring. Can't Wait!
