House Update

So it's been a while since I did an update on our home that's being built.

We had our 4-way walk through. Then insulation was put in and the drive way, front steps and back patio poured. Then when I was over there on Thursday the sheet rock and mudding was done! Yea!

View from front door all the way to back of the house.

Stair railing has yet to go up.

View family room of the Kitchen 

The kitchen - double oven/ gas range side.

Upstairs landing/ bonus area. The banister still has to go up. 

You know - for safety and all that :)

This is the girls bedroom

Our master bath. The girls were appalled at how dirty the bath was lol

I said, once the builders are done they clean it so it sparkles :)

This is the spare bedroom.

This is our stone work for the outside.

I hope that this next phase will go quickly. The outside will get stucco and a fab stone work and sod.

Inside, paint, base boards and door surrounds, doors. Kitchen and bathroom will get done and the flooring/tile work. 

All exciting stuff :)

Our New Home

Last October, Jason, I and the girls went to visit a model home in West Jordan, Utah.

Built by Holmes Homes 

(the landing page of their site has a slide of homes - one of which is for Bluffdale. That pic is the one from the model home I fell in love with the model type is called Hannah)

I'd already fallen in love with the pictures of it and now was the time to see it in the flesh -- or more like, bricks and mortar! Lol

No sooner as we walked through the garage into the kitchen -- AHH! Angels singing  moment. The kitchen was my dream one and I knew this was the house for us. 

That same day we signed with Holmes Homes - see the virtual tour of the exact home were having built HERE for our home to be built in Bluffdale, Utah. 

It should have been built by now but as we all know....! Building permits, Design meetings to pick our colors and everything else that goes into turning wood and nails into a home, plus delayed/missed meetings later, things begun to move and boy once they get started things move along pretty quickly.

Anyways...here are some pictures of the beginnings 

Second week of March.

Footings poured.

Amazing that this gaping hole will be our garage.

One week later the dirt had been filled back in. 

This picture is the view from the back of our home.

The following week which was last Sat 2nd April

The garage is up

The beams that will be the ceiling of the basement and floor of the main floor.

And one week from the last picture

Here is  how our home looks today

It's beginning to look like a home :)

The North side of our home

Front of the house faces West.

Inside the main Floor

The Kitchen/ Dining Area

Stairs to second floor. No roof yet but I'm guessing it will be up by end of next week!

Upstairs. Don't look like much but I can see where each room will be :)
