The weather didn't slow the progress too much last week!
Items completed:
- hardwood floors installed
- glass in kitchen cabinets
- front door and all door hardware
- driveway and sidewalk poured
- Vanity glass in all bathrooms
- towel bars installed
- sod and shrubs
All electrical and plumbing fixtures were installed this week. The garage door and compressor were also installed - yeah!!!! Foxy got her number too. The door hardware and wood floors go in next week and if the weather holds up the driveway will be poured.
Foxy is coming along great! The base paint has been done, next will be the accent painting. Kitchen and bathroom back splashes started and the tile in the kitchen and bathroom started... This week the plumbing and electrical is going in. Hoping they start the hardwood flooring this week!
Went to check on progress today. Things are coming along nicely! The walls are up and they are preparing to brick the building.
My townhouse aka "Foxy" (yes, there is a meaning behind her name. Has to do with the street she is on) is making mega progress! I've been visiting her regularly checking on how she is coming along. I had a pre-dry wall meeting with the builder Thursday morning. We walked the entire house and he explained all her "guts" :) She is on schedule, actually a little ahead of schedule for completion this Spring. We reviewed the upgrades I selected for her before they start ordering everything. Only thing that was not accounted for was a glass door I wanted for an upper bedroom that will be my office. He also noticed that the outlets in the closet on the 2nd floor that will store my audio/visual equipment was too low, so it will be raised up a bit.
The green color that is on the base of the wood in the framing is actually a pesticide. "If" any insects were to to get into the walls and started chewing he said they wouldn't like the taste of the wood and leave! How awesome is that!
The HVAC wiring and installation was completed this past week. The insulation and drywall are coming up this weekend - so I drove out to get some pictures. Bricking should start shortly, following the completion of the building next to Foxy. Seems the construction crew continues to leave their garbage :) I told "C" Foxy don't eat, drink or smoke! And apparently they think she likes Mexican food :) that plate was full of peppers and the remains of some kind of taco.

Went out to see what was going on with my new townhome AKA "Foxy" Some minor progress has occurred since last week. The biggest thing is that the bricks have arrived!!!
I'm ecstatic and know that I am very blessed. It will be ready April - May time frame for move-in! I looked at numerous properties over the last few weeks and settled on Ashton Woods. It's 4 bedrooms, 3 and 1 half bathrooms, 2 living areas and game room. And I love the garage door (I won't have shrubs growing in front of mine like the model - better not! That would make for difficulty getting in and out ha ha ha)! The location is wonderful, the area has extremely nice home values and the finish out breathtaking. I got a $25,500 incentive for upgrades and $3,000 towards closing plus monies toward title.
Putting the sold button on my spot. That smile will turn upside down when I write that first mortgage payment - TRUST!
The workers were there today working on the inside. I'm the third townhome - end unit.
I took over 70 pictures in the model today. I made a collage in Picasa Web of them.
