We're so excited!  Progress!!

December Home Update

December 4, 2015

Cabinets have been installed and the trims are also being installed.  

If your daughter wants to come out and take pictures for you that is fine.  I can only take pictures from across the street.  

The house will be painted on Monday.

November Updates

So far I have no new photos, but Amanda did a nice walk through a couple days ago, and face timed us!   Sweet!

We are busy getting estimates for our move. (10K)

Talking with our real estate agent.  

Getting estimates for new flooring in our condo.   

Ah!   Today we got an update:

Nov 13, 2015

Eric says drywall and stucco will complete next week.    

Home walk-through in Peoria

It's Saturday, October 17th 2015

We went to meet our project manager Eric Dahl at our new home.   We were with Amanda and Todd. 

 

Amanda looks out our dining room window as Ed paces off the pool in the back yard.

The Field Engineer's Update

So, here is the July 2nd photo:

At least it has a sign visible with our lot #2489.

This one (below) is the initial photo we were sent: by Vicki  

Hmmmm, same lot?   I don't think so.

I think that house on the left looks suspiciously similar to the house on the right in top photo.   

Here below is Eric's update of 7/17/2015:

Here is the July 24th update:

Here is the last update for July 31, 2015

The Arizona Saga

The Trilogy website has updated the floor plan and elevation views of our home.  It's interesting. 

Ed is in Puerto Rico tonight, and I really miss him.  I've gone through the latest paperwork from the builder, and it's OK, but not perfect.  I'm anxious for Ed to review it too.  

This is a different kind of journey. We are looking forward to the new home.   

Construction Begins

Well, this was emailed to us by our Sales Rep.  Taken June 15, 2015, although her meta data disagrees with that data.  

I can see the neighborhood is beginning to take shape.  It's amazing really.   

We're excited!   

Arizona Progress

Here is an initial design:

Design Center Appointment - Putting the pieces together.

This is our color scheme on the model home.  What a gorgeous day in the Velley!

On the left is our porcelain tile selection.    Taupe cabinet color, black glaze.  We changed our the hardware though.  

Our chandelier.

There must be at least 8,000 decisions to be made in two days.   

Thank God Amanda and Todd were there to help us.  It was partly fun and partly scary as hell.  

And it costs about two and a half times as much as you think it will.    And it's kind of amazing. 

New Beginnings

Next week we're going to Arizona to begin the process of making our home in the Southwest. 

We're both nervous and excited, a delightful state to enjoy!

Looks like weLl have cacti near us.   

Amanda and Todd were kind enough to help us via FaceTime. 

Here they are in the model home.  

Trisha and Joey were there too!  I love our team collaborative approach.  

Anyway, we will be making the choices that will help begin to make our new house into our new home.  I think it'll be a nice place to live.  I'll enjoy being near Amanda and Todd, but I hate that is is so far from Joey. Hopefully we'll get to see him often.
