This process has gone by so fast. They are planning to finish grading the front and back yard, installing the irrigation system, and laying the sod this week. There are quite a few touch ups that they'll also need to do on the inside, but overall we are closing in on moving...so excited! Here are a few more pics of the outside:<div>

I just love the house at this angle...you can also see that they've added the columns to the front porch and the sidewalk is being built:<br>

On another note, my darling daughter Morgan turned 1 year old this weekend. We had a little mermaid themed birthday party for the little princess. Here are a few pictures of the cake smash (which she did not smash because she was terrified of the cake frosting, lol) and some random birthday pictures we took. <br>

Lots of goodies were installed over this past week! From granite--to deck--to fixtures and fans---it has been a week of exciting additions. While there is still more to complete, we can see the finish line in sight. In fact, we received an official letter from NVR that our pre-settlement date is scheduled for May 27th and our closing date is June 2nd. </div>

We are of course excited about all of the updates. We anticipate that the floors and other finishes will be up next. When we went in today, it looked like they were putting the finishing touches on the electrical and wiring. The only thing that I did not see were the outlets in the island. I'm going to assume that they'll put those in soon---I'm trying not to bug my PM about it at this point--). He said that there two installed in the island--so i'll take him at his word for now. Okay, so here are the progress pictures:</div>

Here's a picture of Little Miss Morgan standing in her bedroom. The little misses started walking this weekend. She's now 11 mos! I'm so excited that she's been able to experience this process. From picking some of the selections for the home, to being carried in during the framing process, and now standing and walking around her pre-finished room is exciting.</div>

We went by the house today and drywall had exploded all over what use to be wood frames. We are excited that the everything is coming together....oh, and they are almost done with putting the siding on the house. There are some areas that still need filling and then the stone around the porch and lower exterior of the home...and some additional areas for the tan trim...and then the exterior would be done :)</div>

We had our pre-drywall meeting on Friday. We met with our PM (who--by the way--is pretty cool) and walked through the house. He explained to us all the work that had been completed. There were a couple of items that we noticed during the walk-through that needed to be fixed before drywall. Our PM agreed to add the exhaust fan in the master bedroom and agreed to changes with the staircase railing. There was also a wall that was not framed in the basement. The framing/wall exists on our floor plan, but because we have other plans for this particular room we asked our PM to not worry about it.</div>
<div abp="19">

<div abp="19">
Our PM confirmed again that we will not have railing on our front porch. I am disappointed that this is not a possibility because it looks like just about everyone in the neighborhood has railings, including other Milan models. One was just recently built in the neighborhood that has the railings (and this model has no basement) and one was recently built that has railings and the egress window (which was on our initial floor plan but we were later told that we wouldn't get) in the basement that I was told that Milan's don't have....hmph!! It doesn't add up to me, but I will move on! We would really like to have the railings because it would add aesthetically to the exterior look of the home and fit in with the neighborhood---and safety. Anyway, here's a few pics from the walk-through:</div>

They will start the drywall and exterior siding this week. There are still areas that need insulation, so I'm sure they'll finish that tomorrow. Our PM said that the drywall process is normally a couple of weeks. Afterwards, flooring and cabinetry. Our closing date is around the end of May. Feels like things are moving fast....</div>

We had our wiring meeting today with Chris from Structured Cable. He's always detailed and very helpful. We walked through each room and decided where we wanted our cable and other jacks. We also decided where the televisions would be mounted for the family room and basement. The meeting took about 45 minutes and then we stayed around for a bit to take some pictures. Oh, looks like we are having our pre-drywall meeting on Friday....things are zipping right along!</div>

We went by the house on Sunday and it was bare, so to stop in today and see that in only 3 days they have gotten this far is AMAZING.</div>

At the pace work is getting done, I can imagine that framing will be done in a couple of days. Well, until next time....</div>

<div abp="604">
<div abp="17">
We went by the house today to check out the progress. We've had a pretty busy week and did not have the opportunity to get out to the house in a few days. Between all of the rain and our work schedules it seemed impossible to get out there to explore. But, we finally made it!! I anticipated a mud pit so I wore my tennis shoes that I could easily toss in the washer when I get home. To my surprise it was not as bad as we thought!</div>

It was fairly warm today so the mud had a little time to dry. They'd also spread gravel around the lot, so we were able to get some traction in the mud. Hopefully it'll stay this way....Having said that, there was not a lot of progress to report. Perhaps not as much progress as I anticipated, but still there were some things that had been done...which is a good thing I assume!?! The brick had been laid around the foundation and concrete poured for the basement. You could also see the framing for the welled exit and exterior front stairs.</div>

So, funny thing happen. While we were exploring the lot a car passed us by. We figured that it is one of our neighbors, and sure enough a guy exits and starts to head down to our home. He comes up and asks, "hey guys, do you happen to know who owns the equipment here?" He was pointing to a small tractor and truck bed that was laying partially in our front yard and the other part in the shared cul-de-sac. Dwight and I obviously had no clue who left it nor how to contact the owners, so we of course said "no." We then introduce ourselves as his soon-to-be neighbors and explained that we do not know the crew who is "working" on the home. He said that he tried to contact the HOA, builders, and others to have the items removed because he was having a birthday party today for his daughter and he felt that the items were an eye sore. Anyway, after he realized who we were, he introduced himself and invited us to his 4 year old daughter's birthday party. It was a nice gesture, but we were not able to take him up on it....however, I think he'll be a good neighbor!! </div>

Another interesting run-in.....as we were leaving the lot, we saw a county utility vehicle heading into our cul-de-sac. We decided to turn around to see if the truck was going to our house. Sure enough it was!! Dwight got out and talk to the guy. He was from the utility company. He shared that he was out, on a Sunday, to mark the gas lines. Apparently, all of the gas construction will be taken care of tomorrow....so more progress to come!! </div>

We couldn't resist it!! This evening we went by the house to check on the building progress. After taking another punch from mother nature of 2-4 inches of snow and frigid cold temperatures, I anticipated that construction would have been shut down. Well, we were both pleasantly surprised by the amount of work that had been done. The footing and foundation for the basement is moving along quickly. I suspect that the foundation is/will be inspected pretty soon....this is quite exciting because next up is framing!! </div>

The home site was super muddy and wet. I'm not sure why I convinced myself to get out of the car-- because as soon as I stepped out my feet quickly sank into the mud. My reliably comfortable and hip converse almost ruined!! I'm glad I got them in leather because the mud was able to rinse off once I got home. But Dwight's boots....let's just say I don't think they survived....but at least he can wear the same muddy boots to the site again and again. </div>

On a positive note, we've had the opportunity to drive through the neighborhood either the day after or a couple days after our area has been hit with snow. Each time our neighborhood has been plowed and streets are clean and quite. Considering our association fee is not costly, I anticipated a little lag with street cleaning....Thankfully, this has not been the case. I think we made a great choice!! </div>

This morning between 9-10am we had another showing on our existing home. We packed up Morgan and the dog and headed out to Panera Bread for breakfast. We finished breakfast at about 9:30 and decided to burn the remaining time with driving by the new home to get a glimpse of how things were going. To our surprise there were about 6 or 7 crew members hard at work. I'm not sure what part of the process this is, but it looks important to me---:). Does anyone know what they're doing? I assume this is a part of the footing/foundation....??</div>

It was far too cold and still snow on the ground so I couldn't imagine working in these conditions. I'm so thankful for the crew and people that have a hand in bringing the home together....cheers to them doing correctly! </div>

So we officially broke ground today on our new home!! We drove by the lot today and as planned there was a huge hole in the ground. The RH's crew works really fast because you could actually make out the layout of the basement. We were both surprised at how large the base of the house looked. We were once amazed at how large the lot looked and at the size of the backyard. Well, unless they change where the home sits on the lot or our eyes are fooling us on the size of the hole that's been dug, our backyard will be a lot smaller then we anticipated. I think we're both okay with that considering you couldn't pay me to cut the grass and Dwight wants to limit how much time he spends caring for the lawn. Having said all of that---we're just happy that the show is officially on the road!!</div>

Oh wait...we're expecting another snow storm tonight and into tomorrow. This will likely slow things down a bit and if this frigid cold and snowy weather continues then it's likely that the process will be slowed down even more....oh mother nature...please cooperate!</div>

We finally had our pre-construction meeting!!! Our Project Manager (PM) has scheduled us to "break ground" this upcoming Monday. Yeah.....!!!</div>

As you can imagine I had a ton of questions going into this meeting. It lasted a little over 2 hours and our PM and Sales Rep (SR) were both there to go over blueprints and answer our questions. I compiled a list of questions that popped up on other blogs and some lingering questions that I sat on over the past few weeks. Our PM and SR were thorough and pretty much answered all of our questions. I didn't care for all of the answers---but that's another story! You'll see a list of questions and answers below.</div>

While there were no major surprises, I must say that I was disappointed that we cannot have guardrails on the front porch. According to the building code, rails are only required when there is a 30" rise off the ground. We will be around the 24" mark. Maybe I'm overthinking things but a two foot drop off the front porch seems rather unsafe!?!? Our PM said that he could give us some contacts for installers---but this would likely cost us an additional $1200 out-of-pocket. After spending thousands of dollars on this home there is no way that we will be open to shelling out this type of money. I hope we can find a resolution because I'm not thrilled about the idea of falling off the front porch after having a glass a wine! Ok, you got me...I will probably have the wine glass in my hand when I fall!! </div>

Another undesirable was the location of the A.C. unit. The unit will be garage side and visible when you are driving in to our cul-de-sac. I'm sure that I (well Dwight) can plant some flowers or something green or colorful next to it so that it is hidden. I'll wait until things are completed to see how much of an eye sore it becomes. </div>

Outside of those issues, everything else was straightforward and as expected. We went over each room and there features, upgrades, and even sizes. I was like a hawk in that I wanted details about room dimensions and matched them to what we had on our planning sheets. There were several plans for the Milan going around and what I noticed about this was that the model home that we visited provided us with a slightly different floor plan, offering slightly larger guest bedrooms and a slightly larger plan for the finished basement. Of course I didn't pick this up until after we had signed our contract, but I guess that I can let go of a couple of inches. We have copies of the blueprints so I'm sure that I will obsess over every nook and half inch during the building process. I told the PM that I would pull out my measuring tape if I had a question about a room size (I was joking of course). Maybe not....:)</div>

Oh, I almost forgot. We decided to change the trim package, door and shutter colors for our home. I fell in love with a home on a fellow blogger website. I hope that Nokomis..."Our Journey to Naples" does not mind me sharing. Our home already had the same siding colors as this home but we had white trim and brown/red door and shutters. We changed to black shutters and a black door. We switched to an almond color trim for our home. Therefore our pillars, gutters, garage door, and trim around the home will be the almond color. Our home will look similar to the homes below (Nokomis-pictured lower) without the rail of course--and we have a slightly different elevation and model. We will have stone that stretches along the lower half of the home and a side car garage door. However, in terms of colors it will be pretty similar to the homes pictured below:</div>

We got an updated today that our pre-construction meeting will likely be held during the 2nd week in February. They are slated to start construction the 3rd week in February. This will keep us on track for May! </div>

We drove through the neighborhood last week and saw that there is a home under construction in the cul-de-sac across from us. If they build our home as fast as they are getting this new home up we'll be moving in no time (as long as it's built properly)! Here's to breaking ground soon.... </div>

She got back to us today and explained that the RH team normally meet on Thursday mornings where they discuss pre-starts. Apparently, our home is potentially a prestart for next week, depending on permits. RH has everything ready to roll, except they are waiting on the county to send the permits back so that construction can start. We are supposedly still on track for a May delivery. Once they get word that they can start construction our SR will contact us about a pre-construction meeting. Looking forward to moving forward!! <br />

So yesterday was a big day. Not only did we get the phone call about our loan getting approved, but we finally had our flooring meeting. We'd been scheduled out this far because of the holidays and I had a conference that I attended last week that was out of the state. So it's been about a 4 week gap between initial selections and this appointment. Needless to say we enjoyed the experience and our sales associate was great! I was initially worried that we would have to cancel the appointment because the night before we had an ice storm. The sales associate called and said that the parking lot of their building had not been cleared. Since she was already at the store and we had arranged to have a sitter for Morgan, we went ahead with the meeting. </div>

The appointment lasted about 1 1/2 hours. It was at Advanced Flooring and Designs. For some reason I had imagined this huge flooring store with customers coming and going. It was quite the opposite. It was an average size office room inside your typical 3 story office building. Once you enter you see carpet and hardwood samples alongside the walls. Our sales associate jumped right in and had us to start selecting our choices for the first floor. We had a fairly sizable built in budget (or at least we thought we did). We decided on hardwoods for the entire first floor. This ate up 75% of our budget. I will say that I was initially excited about Level 1 floor choices. We initially decided on the floor on the left (our cabinets and granite are right above the floor to show how it all blends). After deciding carpet and all other selections, we ended up changing our flooring to the picture on the right. The floor is a 5" Rural Living: Fall Canyon engineered hardwood. We switched due to its durability, wide plank distressed feel, and how it will provide some contrast throughout. This floor will go throughout the entire first level. <br />

We then made our choices for the master bath. The master bath will have Sandalo Acacia Beige and Aruba 5/8" Random tile (with accent) throughout the shower, tub, and floor. This of course was an upgrade. This is how it all came together. Oh, you'll see the carpet in the picture. The carpet will go throughout the entire upstairs and basement.<br />

We went with the upgraded padding in areas that we have carpet. Apparently this is suppose to wear better. Honestly, I did not feel the difference...but we went for it anyway. Overall, I'm fine with the choices that we made. I still feel that it is quite challenging to envision how all of this will look once it's complete---so my anxiety level is still high. RH should invest in a simulator or computer program that will show how all of the options will go together. <br />
<br />
The good news is that we stayed under budget. In fact, we came in $65 under budget. If there was some way to spend it---Dwight would have found it!! Having said that, he was extremely happy that we didn't spend any more. If I had my choice, we would have splurged and gotten a backsplash and would have upgraded the carpet in both the basement and throughout the upstairs.<br />
<br />
Here are some random pictures of the selection process and how things were laid out for us as we made these decisions.<br />

Not much to update except we finally got the call from NVR that our loan was APPROVED!!! No conditions and nothing glaring to be concerned about the processor shared. They are not requesting any additional documentation at this time. This was fantastic news considering I anticipated hearing something back either Friday or next week. On to the next phase....<br />

It felt like we were signing every piece of paper in the office, but things appeared positive with regards to the loan approval process. However, the timing of our meeting and the loan process could not be more frustrating. Of course it is the holiday season (Christmas and New Year) so offices are closed and this has caused some delay in moving the process forward. RH is waiting to receive employment verification documentation from my employment, but no one is in the office until January 5th. Therefore, our paperwork has been sitting in RH's office since December 17th and they can not forward our information on to the underwriter until employment verification is done. This of course is at the fault of no one....it just creates some anxiety while you wait. We've provided all of the requested paperwork and documentation so hopefully this delay does not require RH to need any updated documents, bank statements, or other nonsense.<br />
<br />
My advice would be that if you're looking for a quick approval so that you can move forward with other parts of the building process....the December holiday time is not the best with getting things done quickly. Having said this, i'll remain positive and wait patiently!!<br />

My partner and I finally decided to purchase our dream home through Ryan Homes. <br />

We live in Glen Allen, (Richmond) Virginia and have chosen the Milan. We toggled between the Milan and Jasmine Grove for quite some time but after carefully weighing the pros and cons (including a $10,000) price difference--we chose the Milan. Interestingly enough we had to take a 45 minute drive to Providence Forge, Virginia to see the Milan model because Ryan Homes does not have a Milan model in the Richmond metropolitan area. Though it was an inconvenience, it was well worth it when we toured the home. Some of the standouts of the Milan include a back bedroom away from the high traffic of visitors coming up the stairs and the side-car garage that has a direct path into the kitchen so that you do not have to track across multiple rooms in the home. Despite the Milan being Ryan's smallest model in the division, after adding a free morning room and finished basement we'll have approximately 3300 finished square feet. Because we've just recently adopted a beautiful baby girl (Morgan), and I often work out of the home, this will be a welcomed upgrade coming from 1500 square feet (that's currently on the market). We've decided to go non contingent, so we have about 6 months to sell our home or we'll be paying for two mortgages---ouch!!<br />
<br />
Here's the floor plan that we went with:<br />

Stay tuned for updates. We have our 14 day appointment (12/22/14) wiring (12/22/14), and flooring appointment (1/16/15) coming up. Oh, we're still waiting final approval for our loan, but pending no issues the move-in date is 5/1/15. Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10103905248366719461noreply@blogger.com11
