Week 13 - Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm so excited!!!!

We received our last update from our project manager on Saturday.  I say last because he likes to save all of his thunder for the pre-settlement walkthrough, which will be happening next Monday!!!!

So the work that was done last week and over the weekend was small, but significant.

• Trim carpenter came and did his punch outs and corrections
• Mechanical contractors installed all the finish items (toilets, lights, etc.)
• Drywall touch ups
• Carpet installation
• Stone work.... YESSSS!!!
• Siding completed over the weekend
• Shutters, trims and gutters

The Loft 

The Stone

And then this....

  

Next week, we go do our pre-settlement walkthrough on Monday and then we close on Wednesday.  We are "this" close!!!

Exterior Selections

Surprisingly, the exterior selection meeting was the easiest for my husband and I.  And then it became the hardest one.  So for Elevation L, we got to select stone for the front, two colors for a dominant and less dominant siding color, shutters and doors, and a coordinating brick color for the back and sides.

Here's what Elevation L looks like:

We easily selected the following:

Bucks County Stone

Raisin for the door

...but the brick.  

Well, we found out that our neighbor had picked the one we felt matched best.  And none of the other brick colors felt right.  So we jumped in the car and drove around the neighborhood looking at houses and decided we liked this color combination:

Stone:  Dakota Ledgestone

Siding:  Monterey Taupe and Cobblestone

Door and Shutters:  Black

Trim:  White

We love our selections, even though we had to make a change.  I can't wait to see it for real!!
