Virtual Tour

Here is a virtual tour of what the finished house will look like.

DISCLAIMER**  the house you are seeing is not mine.  It is upgraded with wood floors, iron spokes in the stair railing going up the steps....etc ... you should be able to tell what is upgrade and what is standard.  :)

We can now bathe at the house

Edric and I stopped by the house on Wednesday and the tubs and showers are installed and the drywall is placed in all the rooms ready to go up. The roof is completed also. We should have our frame walk very soon, I think they are reorganizing a little since the passing away of our original sales person Scott.

The roof is complete

Drywall is waiting in the kids rooms to be put up.

The kids tub/shower is installed.

The master bathroom tub is almost ready for a dip

Front door with side windows (just waiting for paint).

The Inside

Edric and I stopped by the house on Friday Evening and they are making a lot of progress.  The entire house is framed out inside, all the plumbing, electrical, gas fireplace, vents, and windows are up.

This is the family room, the gas fireplace is to your left with cardboard over it  

(sorry for the glare) .  

This is the kitchen, the framed out closet is where the pantry will be.  The piece of wood in the middle of the floor is where the island will be.  

This is Edric standing in what will be the formal living room and dining room.

Here is Edric looking out at the view we will see 

(until the house goes in behind us) from our bedroom window.

This is Edric in the upstairs hall way.  I am standing in what will be the guest 

bedroom/office.

What a difference a couple weeks make!!

So on Saturday we went to the house expecting to see some wood framing up. Well, they work a lot faster than we anticipated!! See for yourself. The First picture is of the front of the house. All the houses are put in little cul-de-sacs. Edric and really liked that about the neighborhood. This way we will know all our neighbors and vice versa. It will also give the kids a safe place to ride bikes and such. This does make the houses a little closer than I would like but it is worth it. In Reno almost all the new homes are super close so it really doesn't differ from any of the other surrounding neighborhoods.

The garage

The back of the house (the side of the house is the side of the garage)

This is the back of the house

The window to your left is one of the windows off the family room and the two sets of double windows on the bottom are the formal living and dining room, then garage window and door.

The upstairs windows are (from left to right) Master bathroom (near tub) , water closet (toilet, yes it has it's own room, Edric is very happy about this) , Walk in Closet,  first set of double windows is the guest room, and the second set is one of the kids rooms.

On the left side of the house (you can't see this are double doors that will lead to our back yard (we will also have a small yard along the back side of the house)

We will be stopping by on Wednesday since they are moving so fast on it.  

We think the builders might be of Amish descent

So I talked to the builder yesterday and he said that on Monday they will start framing the house!!  I was told that it would only take about 7-10 days to frame the entire thing....that is pretty fast (at least I think so) Electrical will go in next and we will have a walk though with the builder.  The next time we have an official walk-through will be in July when the house is finished but since we are anxious people we will probably be taking pictures every weekend from here on out. 

We will probably be able to get down there on Thursday so check back that night for some exciting pictures of some amazing wood and nails.  I know I can't wait!
