Electricity! Hot Water! A Door! OH MY!

Travis and I went up to Logan yesterday for our long anticipated 4-way walk through. It was our time to go through the house with the builder, room by room, and make sure that structurally everything was correct and that there weren't any last minute changes we wanted to make to our previously decided upon upgrades. It felt kind of like a "speak now or forever hold your peace" type of thing..in a good way. We thought it was funny that the paper work we signed afterwards was actually called the "Last Chance Walk Through Checklist". Everything looked great and we were told that the city Inspector was on his way to sign off on the home after we left yesterday afternoon and that first thing today they would begin insulating and sheet rocking. We were also told that the home should be finished in 6-7 weeks which would be the last week of June or first week of July...RIGHT ON SCHEDULE!! :) Here are some pictures Trav took and as always you can click on an image to see it larger...


Stop in the name of Nibley...and the plant that may kill me someday (isn't Trav creative? I would have never of though to take these shots!)


Hooray for hot water and Electricity! Seriously...camping for a few days is one thing, but I don't know how those Amish people do it!?

Master bath on April 5...and on May 20..much improved and so much easier on the ab muscles!

The first front door we will ever own as a married couple and the view of the main floor from the stairs


Guest Bath on April 5...and on May 20...Sure to be a wonderful and relaxing oasis for our guests...and don't forget that we DO have hot water! :)


Finished main floor in the model home and our work in progress on May 20 (personally, I like our color scheme so much better...much more natural looking!)


Side view from the street April 26 and May 20. They tell us the siding will be started in the next couple of days!

It was so exciting as always to walk through our new home and see the progress that has occurred in a few short weeks. We are keeping our fingers crossed that things stay on schedule. I am sure that this next month or two will fly by and we will be moving in before we know it. We have been planning this for so long and it's crazy to think that it is almost here!

It looks very roomy..but that could be because there are no walls yet. Still, can't wait to see how you decorate.

Wow!!! Can't wait to come out in July and use your 'guest' room. I bet in another week it will even look totally different. You probably wish you were closer so you could go peek at the house everyday! Too bad you couldn't have a camera set up to send you pictures on a daily basis. So happy for you!! :) Love you! Mom H.

Looks good. I have only one other comment. Why is there a switch box above the master bath tub?
Will take shape in a hurry when the drywall goes up!

Hey Travis! This is Natalie (Landeen)... You two are moving to Logan? That's where Sean and I live. It's great up here- small but with everything you need. Next time you come up here stop and eat at Pounders on Main Street. It's the BEST food in Logan. Good luck on the house!
