Day 44-Drywall

We had a really nice weekend working on our current house.  My parents took the boys so that Dan and I could get some things done. We worked on a lot of projects that we needed to complete before renting it out.  I also worked on packing up all of the stuff we won't be using in the next month!  That's right...just over a month and we are moving!!! We got so much accomplished so we are feeling great about everything we got done.  I'm so glad my parents took the boys because it was a huge help (Thanks Mom!) We went out to the house on Friday since we knew we would be busy Sat/Sun.

Friday Day 44:    We are over half-way done with our build!  We normally go to the house on the weekend but Dan got off early on Friday and we had a busy weekend planned so we stopped by after dinner.  We had got a call Thursday evening from the PM saying all of our drywall had been hung and that they would be taping/mudding/finishing for the next week so we were looking forward to seeing the rooms with actual walls!

Here are the pics! (click to enlarge)

The outside looks the same except now we have "Sold" signs!!

 The front entrance

 Looking to the right of the front entrance will be our office (living room on floor plan)

 The next room in front of the office will be the craft room/school room (dining room on floor plan).  You can also see the smaller hallway (the main hallway is to the left) where the pantry is and it goes into the kitchen.

To the left of the craft room is the mudroom that leads to the garage.

Garage!  Can't wait to park in here!  Our current garage won't fit our van.

More garage

Back in the house!  The next room in the hallway across from the mudroom is a small powder room/1/2 bath

 Then is the kitchen and morning room

Family room is to the left of the kitchen

Upstairs-hallway left.  I was happy to see it's open-feeling up here.  We closed up the loft which is the first door on the left to make a 5th bedroom.  There's still plenty of hallway space:)  The doorways are from left to right-guest room/future nursery, boys bedroom, laundry room (straight ahead), master bedroom, hall closet.

Upstairs hallway right-you can see the doorway to the play room and not shown on this side of the hall is girly girl's room and the kids/guest bath.

 The play room (bedroom 3 on floor plan)

Girly's room (bedroom 2)

 Kids Bath

 Really big hall closet

 Guest room/ future nursery (bedroom 5/loft converted)

 The boys room (bedroom 4)

 Laundry room-it's pretty tiny but it'll work.  We might add a countertop and some cabinets in place of the wire shelf they will put in.  I love that it's on the second floor!

Master Bedroom

 Master Bedroom looking towards master bath

 Blurry master bath pic but we're wondering why the hall bath has green board only on the top half of the room and the master bath has it only on the bottom half...

 Stairs down to the basement

How the guys are keeping semi-cool (not at all cool!).  They have this giant fan in the basement but the house is still soooo hot.  I feel bad for the guys working in there!

Inspection list and approvals

 

Sweet girl and our new house!

 

The neighbors down the street built a Naples just reverse plan of ours (also have a 3 car garage but it's not in the picture).  It was nice to see their trim all up and see how ours will look really soon!  At our pre-drywall meeting the PM said we were #3 in line for siding.  We saw #1 was complete, #2 was about 80% complete, so we are thinking we should have siding by this weekend!
