Almost There: A House Update

The deadline for our house to be ready is July 23rd.  The foreman for the job has assured us that not only will the house be ready by the deadline, but we will have closed, moved in, and be enjoying a drink on the back patio by the 23rd.  That is less than 4 weeks from today.  As you scroll through the pictures you will notice that everything is almost finished!  We still need counter tops, hardwood floors, carpet, toilets, door knobs, grass, and few other finishing touches.  I can't wait!

Notice the added slab to the right of the house.  This is for Grandpa Grady (the boat).  The additional 4 feet of garage is for the Manatee (the other boat).  I lost 3 feet off my dream laundry room that protruded into the garage to accommodate the Manatee.  Yes, our garage is enormous.  By the way, the front door posts are not complete.

Dining Room - This is coming in the front door and to the right.  These are not my favorite light fixtures. 

Living Room - This is standing in the dining room taking a picture.  We shifted the fireplace 3 feet to the left in order to keep our TV on a credenza and not above the fireplace.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that we moved it enough!

Kitchen - The cabinets do not look this red in person, but I am very excited about the slow close cabinet doors and drawers!  The tile floors are very similar to what we had in Texas.

Back Porch - We have cable and speakers wired out here waiting for football season!

Master Bedroom Window
This is very awkward placement for the house next to us.  I am hoping to add some trees!

Another Shot of the Awkward Placement
It is placed like this because we are on a cul-de-sac.

Another Front Shot - The garage you see next to us is the far left side of our neighbor's house.
