Things are wrapping up at Lot 256. It’s strange to think that in less than a month, we’ll be settled into our new home.
This will be the last set of progress pictures. I know, so sad. The next set will be during our final walk thru when everything is shiny and clean! Lots of dust in the house right now.
The garage is finished and almost cleared out.
The carpet is down in the rec room.
The hardwood has also been installed. All that paper you see throughout the house is protecting our newly installed floors (eeek!)
Look at our kitchen!! I seriously had heart palpitations (the good kind) when I saw how much had been completed! The granite. The cabinets. The BACKSPLASH!
The super ugly pendant lights. I really, really don’t like these shades. At all.
And I also don’t like the mirror in the powder room. I know…I’m a brat. But WHY would you design such a modern home and use all of these NOT-modern finishes??? (NOT-Modern is a technical term). And why did they install a full towel rack in a powder room? And why is it called a powder room? That is definitely not a modern description…I think it’s now called a half-bath.
Carpet is in the office and guest room. Yes, I tried to take the darkest pictures I could.
Tile and finishes are completed in the guest bath. Notice the same NOT-modern light fixture as in the half-bath (it’s also in the master bath). Anyone in the market for a crapton of fluted shades? Anyone??
Master bedroom is carpeted.
And the master bath is almost finished. We just need a shower door.
And the closets are ready for all of our clothes.
So you can see, it’s almost ready to go! They have some touch up work to do on the paint and probably a bunch of other details I didn’t notice…but we’re in the home stretch!

I know some of you have been on pins and needles waiting to hear about the resolution of the deck issue. Well, we went back and forth with Heartland…Jerry stormed out of a meeting with one of the managers and I fired off a very nasty stern email to the same manager and the VP of Sales. Bottom line…they feel bad but still, there is still nothing they can do. Legally, we are stuck because we signed off on the deck as is. The large deck was approved by someone no longer with Heartland. So at this point, we’ve just decided to let it go and move on. But I still clench my teeth every time I see that dumb deck. It’s all good though, because we’re going to build a bigger, more kick-ass deck than the other end unit. So there.
