Sod and lots of blue tape

We had a meeting with our PM today and the house looks BEAUTIFUL!! The other day hubby and I were worried because it seemed like there was so much to do in less then two weeks but now we are almost done. We got our sod and finally our columns! They had to actually make them because people fail at getting the right order. Our PM was kinda frustrated with the company they order from because the three times he tried to order it they failed! But the columns they made look beautiful!!! :) Although he now has to put a rush order on the railings to get them in before our final walk though. Also we have lots of blue tape on the walls and the touch ups begin. We are supposed to get our stove, washing machine and dryer tomorrow.

We have finally started the packing process. There will be no more moving after this. We have a lot of stuff for one little apartment. Almost exactly a year ago we were packing and moving to the area into our little apartment. I'm ready to get the moving process over and be in my new house!

Reason number 862 why I love my house! :)


Oopsie!
 One of the front porch windows got broken. We were doing so good about not having a broken window. I may have jinxed it when I was talking to a co-worker last week about not having broken windows. Oh well.

Loads of Pictures!!

The house is coming along great! We are so happy with it. Our neighbors closed on their house and their landscaping looks great! I'm excited for ours to get here. We have already seen the blue tape show up for the things that they need to fix. The laminate is in and the carpet should be in the beginning of next week. We also have power which is what the PM has been waiting for to continue forward! The columns should be in soon, they keep sending the wrong columns. They sent the wrong ones twice now and not just a little off, they sent 5ft tall columns and our porch is 9 ft. haha. Our PM was shaking his head when he told us. But third times the charm right? Just 24 days left!! Down hill slide!

Although on another note, NVR is starting to slightly get on my nerves. In our first initial meeting we brought everything we needed and gave them both copy 1 and 4 of my husband's DD214 since we were using the VA home loan. Well since then they have requested documents we have already provided a few times. They sent us an email saying the VA needed Copy 4 of DD214 (was provided at initital meeting) and then about a week ago they needed another bank statement from April (turned in about a month back) and then a few days ago requested explanation of a deposit back in March. Really? We have sent it to them numerous times. Why do you need it again? Oh and they wanted by COB that day. They told us our documents were ready to have been sent to underwriting and then they ask for some more documents weeks later? Come on. Get everything you need the first time. Jeez. It would be nice to just have one lengthy list, send it all in and then have nothing on our end holding us back. Other then that everything has been fine. 

Now for the pictures! These are the ones I took  them with my phone since I didn't have my camera with me so bear with the quality.

Can't wait to take the covers off!

We have a driveway!

Now for the kitchen with the granite counter tops!! Now these were taken before the flooring went in. Hopefully next week we can take the cover off and carpet is going in next Monday or Tuesday and we will be able to see it all!

Love this sink!
