Pre-Drywall Meeting & Official Closing Date!

We had our Pre-Drywall Meeting this afternoon.  Everything went really well!  We hired a personal inspector to just ease our minds and help lookout for our investment, and he was really impressed with our Ryan Home.  He loved the fact that it is an Energy Star 3.0 home, and was astounded by some of the features that came standard.  There were a few minor things he caught, but he discussed them with our PM and they will be taken care of in a few days.

Somewhat more exciting than the great report, is we have an official closing date!  Looks like January 23rd will be the date this house becomes our home!  We are about a week ahead of schedule, but with Ohio's crazy weather, you never know what might cause a hitch in the future.  PM said drywall would start tomorrow and be finished in 10-12 days.  We wants to get he siding and stone guys out to our house next week too.  Looks like the next few weeks are going to get pretty exciting around here!  Meanwhile, enjoy some updated pictures of the house with newly installed plumbing, electrical, and insulation!

Footers, Plumbing, and Foundation

The last two weeks have been a little slow, but we are able to find patience in knowing that the foundations of our home are quite important to get 'just right'.

On Thursday, November 8th we stopped by to see the beginnings of laying down the footers for our home.

We went back by the house again on Friday to see the finalization of the footers, gravel fill, and a drainage pipe around the exterior perimeter of where the foundation will be.

 

This past week some rain delayed the start of our foundation being poured, but after our weekly contact with the project manager on Friday, we were reassured that everything is right on track.  Our foundation is poured and we should expect slabs, inspection, and lumber deliver early this week.  Hopefully by Wednesday they will start framing!
