Pre Drywall Walkthrough
Going on a walkthrough of our house with our builder before the drywall phase to refine some framing and exterior elements.
Contingency Contingencies
Rising building and labor costs started to pinch our budget and our remaining contingency fund, pushing us to look for margin.
Windows and Siding
Some delays on our windows slowed things down but we finally got eyeglasses into our house! Which paved the way for some siding progress.
Refining Interiors and Electrical
Refining our interior selections and some tweaks to our electrical and lighting plans as we continued to move the project forward.
Fireplaces, Islands, and Tables
Working to refine our plans for the location of our fireplace, our kitchen island, and our dining table for traffic circulation and views.
Exterior Design: Keep it Natural
Selecting our exterior colors and materials, along with some deck adjustments to maximize our use of space.
Stairs, Soffits, and Starting Mechanical Work
More progress on the house, including stairs, soffits, and the start of our mechanical work, all marking the end of fast visual progress.
More Kitchen Design Progress
Refining our kitchen design by choosing cabinets, countertops, and flooring to coordinate with each other and with the rest of the house.
