It's a Brick....House!

Today we met with Matt, our project manager, to conduct the pre-drywall meeting. It was about 94 degrees and we were sweating, but I'm sure that was nothing compared to how the 5+ workers felt after laying bricks all day in the sun. See below for the first shots of our Virginia Highlands Brick with Red Wire Cut accent.


During the pre-drywall meeting, we walked through each room of our house with Matt and a guy named Dale from Trinity Wiring to point out where we want our electric outlets, recessed lights, cable, phone, and ethernet drops, and security system wiring. Here's a photo in one of the bedrooms upstairs. You can see Matt in the shadow on the right, and the workers through the window.

We're nearly within 60 days of closing, so fingers crossed, the construction will keep moving along. We thought there was a snafoo with our brick selection since we had no idea what Williamsburg brick was, but it turns out it's just being used to supplement the Red Wire Cut accent brick around the windows and the garage door.


Here's one more shot of the house with the scaffolding. We were told that the roof would be complete tomorrow, and by Saturday, our brick should be finished.

A Roof Over Our Heads

On our way home from Pittsburgh, we decided to stop off at the house to see how much progress had been made since last Thursday. It looks like our garage door has been installed and our roof is almost complete. Here's a closer look at our garage door. It's a 2-car carriage door in white with Sonoma arch windows.

Inside our house, there's also been progress. Our fireplace has been installed...


The tub in our master bathroom has been put in place (Brian can't wait to bathe in it!)...

The floor to our shower in the master bath has been installed...

...and the bathtub has also been put in place in our upstairs bathroom.

It looks like things will be moving along this week. The blueprints were taped up to the window of our family room.


The houses two and three lots down from ours on the left also seem to be near complete. Just look at those lush lawns...looks like we'll need a lawn mower soon!
