A few updates!






Aspen Stone.. I think It will compliment the grey siding very nicely
Sorry, it has been awhile since I last blogged, I feel like I have been so busy lately! A lot has happened with the house, as you can imagine. Ryan homes moves along so quickly, but everything has been done exactly the way we need it to be thus far, which we are very grateful for. This past week, siding has gone up on the house, the stone for the exterior has been delivered, and insulation has been installed! Everything has been going very smoothly. We had an informal "pre-drywall meeting" took pictures and walked through the house, everything looked perfect!! Our meeting was unconventional in that it was done in two stages, our PM had vacation this week, and so we went over the house with him pre-electrical, and then with another PM a couple days later after the electrical went in... I didnt mind because it was nice to walk through the hosue and get 2 different opinions on things and have two trained eyes look through things with us. Drywall should begin Monday, and hopefully the stone will go up on the house shortly as well. I am so excited to see the stone because that will mean the exterior is "finished" and I can get the full picture of what the house will look like :) I love the siding, grey with white trim.. it is exactly how I wanted it to be, so hopefully the stone will add the final touch. We also spoke with our PM and SR, our final walk through/closing is currently scheduled for Oct 21st, even sooner than we thought by almost a week! The only problem is that it is a Friday, and we won't be able to get the keys until the following Monday d/t bank being closed on the weekend I guess. ..we are hoping for even just one day sooner so that we will have that weekend to move!! I am so ready to get out of this rental house...it is TOOOOOOOOOOO small, in a not so hot area of Columbus, and my neighbor is insane....oh and an update on our Washer/Dryer set, I believe we have finally decided on a Maytag Bravo Top Loaders, we know a couple of people with them and they rave about how quiet and how little vibration they have..which is key since our Laundry room will be on the top level of the house.. I would hate to have it shaking the whole house!! I hope everyone else is having a good time building! I love reading everyone's blogs. Talk to you soon eCommunity :)

  1. We picked the same siding color! Aspen stone is going to look AMAZING next to that color! What shutter color did you choose? Glad to hear you are on track with your progress :)

  2. Wow, it really will look so good! I love the red with the gray!
    Good point about the vibrations with the laundry being on the 2nd floor. I am so glad for all the great suggestions everyone has!

  3. We were told by the salesman yesterday that we have to do front load with it being on the second floor due to vibration.. Any information on that?! I'm so confused. I was set on getting a top load and this throws a curve into our washer/dryer research.

  4. Seekir: I am not sure what the shutter color is technically, but it is a dark grey, almost black, and the door will be black :) KayandJay:What salesman said that? I have not heard that, but it makes me nervous now too haha!! The Maytag specifically says it can be placed on any level of the house with the special vibration technology..so I would check them out!

  5. The Sears salesman said that. It's good it specifically says it can be placed on any level. I'll have to look into them!

  6. The house looks great! =)

    I couldn't help but laugh to myself about your situation. It sounded WAY to familiar. ... The crazy a$$ neighbor, the rental that's too small in a bad neighborhood... I was so there just a few short months ago. *hugs* You are going to love the place. =) TRUST ME!!
