Underground Plumbing Complete

We got our construction update on Friday, and drove out to see the progress yesterday.  Last week our underground plumbing was complete, and the crew started spreading stones to prep for our concrete slab.  Our slab should be done by the end of the week and then they'll start framing our house.

Since we also just got a puppy at the end of November, we decided to start taking weekly pictures of the house progress with our puppy, so we can see both grow together. :)

Starting to See Some Progress

We drove by the house this weekend to see the progress.  We have foundation walls now and underground plumbing is supposed to go in this week.  It's exciting to start seeing some progress on our house and the community around it.  

We had our puppy with us so we didn't stop in the model, but it looks like they are still trying to sell one of the townhomes in our block of six.  They've sold three across the street from us in the next block of eight.  

We were the first to buy in our block of homes.  Now that the block is almost sold out and the next block has started selling, my husband and I can't help but wonder who our new neighbors are.  It would be really great if they are some other young professionals, but I'm sure whoever our neighbors are, our home will be a thousand times better than our current apartment.  We are so excited for our move in May!

Here are some pictures from our visit:

This interior unit is our elevation, but we don't know what color our shutters and door will be yet.

So much work has been done since we signed our purchase agreement in October!  It's amazing!

We received our first update

Last night my husband and I received our first construction update email from our PM.  By the end of the day today, all of our foundation walls will be poured for our house and the other houses on our block.  Next week the plumbers will work on all of the underground plumbing and connections. Our PM even included a picture of the work in the email.  We're really looking forward to driving by the homesite tomorrow.
