Pre-Construction Scheduled!

Talked to our SR today and we will be having our Pre-Construction meeting next Monday! We are very anxious to get started with the next step in this process and really looking forward to breaking ground soon.

UPDATE:

Stephanie: Here are the pictures of the attic we saw in the model. MUCH bigger area. I am going to send this to Annie and Trenton too. The way it looks to me, its just a difference in how the HVAC is routed, but I'm not certain.

 

Walk Through Video

I posted a new page with a video walk through of the Palermo model we visited. Hopefully this helps someone who cannot get out to see one in person.  Check it out on my new page.

Need Tips for Pre Construction

Hello all! In a couple of weeks we should be having our pre-construction meeting. I have been looking through a couple of blogs with lists of items to think about and ask about, but I am always looking supplement my knowledge. If anyone has any tips or questions or "oh my God why didn't I think of that at my pre-construction meeting" ideas that I should have in mind, please feel free to pass them on to me here.

Thank you followers and guests for all your help!

LOAN APPROVED!

That's all the news there is. Our SR said our projected build start is mid-February, so now its just the wait-for-the-date game. In the meantime I'll continue to enjoy hearing about all the builds, closing, post-move-ins and good times that you all are sharing.

Exciting times...

... for someone else. I'm in a nice blackout period of having any news for myself, so I will talk about someone else. Ryan Homes' first home in our neighborhood is going up! Looking forward to when our lot looks a lot more like this.

Elevation Change!

Big news today. We went to our 14-day meeting with our SR today thinking we were done with making changes. Little did we know that the lot next to us pulled out of their contract. This was GREAT news for us because the builders in that lot had chosen the elevation that we originally wanted, Elevation D, and therefore we had to choose Elevation E for ours. We also had the option of taking over their lot, but stayed with ours. So now we will be building an Elevation D Palermo! When I get a chance to scan things in I'll show everyone the differences, but we get a larger front porch and ~80SQFT more for a lower price (due to the fact that Elevation D has less stone than E).

In addition to the elevation change, we decided to go with  the Uba Tuba and Maple Cognac in the owners bath. We asked our SR about changing the bowl color and she said that there weren't standard options for that. We'll see if it grows on us once we move in, but even if it doesn't, an undermount sink change isn't too drastic.

We also picked out the location for additional outlets. We needed one in the media closet, and got an additional outlet in the garage.  Props to RickandNadese for the suggestion to get an outlet under the master vanity! We think that will be a great addition. We also added one in the closet just-in-case.

One step closer to construction!
