First There Was Paint, Then There Was Cabinets!

Well, I can't help but do another update today. My parents came up to Phoenix for a car show and while they were here I took them out to see the progress on the house. I was just as surprised as they were! OK, well probably not since the last time they saw the place it was a dirt lot.

We pulled up to the house and noticed the exterior paint job is about 80% completed and then went inside to discover that the walls had been painted, the cabinets were installed, and all of the light fixtures are in! Holy Moly!!

Here's a couple of quick pics to bring you up to speed (don't forget - click on the picture to view full-size):

In case you are wondering, yes our home is two-toned. It's a little difficult to see how the color scheme comes together, so if I get some better pics I'll put them up asap. We're still no closer to knowing our closing date. When we know, you'll know!

Alright, I better get back to work. He he he...

Yes...Another House Update

So, since the last time I posted, a few more things have happened with the house:

1. the holes in the floor have been repaired!!

2. stucco has been applied to the exterior

3. the interior walls were dry-walled and textured

4. the banister was installed on the staircase

5. the back "yard" was block-fenced in

6. the garage door was installed

7. the sliding glass door was installed

I think that just about covers everything. The community has begun work landscaping the "courtyard" right in front of our house and there's pictures of that included below (Don't forget - you can click on the photo to see the full-size file!):

We found out this week that due to safety concerns with the building of this type of home (courtyard style) we will not be able to occupy the home until all of the adjacent units are done with any scaffolding that may be necessary as a part of construction. This just means we'll be moving in January instead of December. No biggie.

That's all I have to report for now...hugs and kisses!!
