Drywall & Cabinets

We were away for a bit there but house progress was still being made. Drywall and a primer coat are up and the cabinet folks have been busy in the kitchen. We stopped by briefly on our way to the airport to snap these pictures.


Looking into the Living room from the kitchen/dining area.

Cabinets going up in the Kitchen.

Two More Neighbor homes

These two are from two different builders and are on the street behind ours.

This house is built by the Verdi Company, the same builder as our home.

I believe this home was built by the David Weekly builders.

More Action Inside

As if a freshly painted exterior wasn't enough! There was more going on inside as well today. The multimedia wiring guys came and put in the structured wiring. What's structured wiring you ask? The structured wiring is a bundled cable that makes it easier for the installer and owner to have all the communications wiring in one place. So our coaxial cable (like cable TV), phone line, and network lines are all bundled together. They are still separate cables but the bundling makes it a lot easier for the installer as all of those lines come back to a central communications switch. The white box in the picture is where those wires will come together. This makes it really easy to activate network lines, phone lines, or cable outlets right from one place.

If that wasn't enough, they placed the interior insulation and the drywall folks are starting tomorrow! Drywall will take a couple weeks, so the flurry of updates will slow for a bit.

Our house is green! No, I mean the color.

Imagine that! Our little "green" house is actually green.
The painters did the house yesterday and finished up the trim today. It looks really nice and bright. I for one am very pleased. There's a lot of other things going on inside as well, but more on that in the next post.

Here's another shot of the house, from the back, where you can see some of the details a little better.

Some Neighbor Homes

Several folks have asked for an idea of what other homes in neighborhood look like so here are a couple of pictures.

This house (lot 75) is all but done and is two lots down to the right of our house (if you looking from the street).

This is lot 74 and is built by the same builder as the photo above but a a good bit further to go before it is complete. I'm not sure if either of these homes is sold yet.
