Eekkkk my kitchen is PERFECT

I was elated when I walked in the house to find that our new granite had been installed and the floors have been uncovered. The great room will definitely be the coolest room in the house (although Rob will still tell you his basement is the best). Our PM has been truly wonderful and I can't thank her enough for pushing to get this fixed for us. Along with the excitement of the kitchen, I found that the rest of our appliances have been installed and our back walkout "deck" has been assembled. Once the house is ours, we plan to add a deck off of the morning room and a patio under the deck connecting the walkout. We also plan to convert the two pot lights above the island into pendants. Here are some pictures of the house progress:

WE ARE ALMOST HOME FREE..no pun intended :) 

Trim

I could not have been more excited when I drove up and saw that our house had stone on it! It truly is amazing how fast things can change. Today we had doors, cabinets, stone, railings, tile and some siding. My heart about melted when one of the workers led me upstairs to show me the tile work he did. It was awesome to see how much pride he had in his work. It takes a village to build one of these homes and I can honestly say that I couldn't have asked for a better team. Fingers crossed for smooth sailing until closing. 

Almost Ready for Concrete

I went by the lot today and snapped some pictures. It looks like some of (if not all) of the helical piers are up. Our PM told me last week that they plan to put the concrete and work double time starting Monday to make up for the time we've lost. I had the chance to meet some of our neighbors yesterday while I was volunteering with the fire department. We took santa around on the fire truck so that all the kids could see and take pictures with him. I was glad to see that our new neighborhood is filled with young families! Here are some pictures I took today of the "progress"made thus far our lot as well as of the model home kitchen with the new island design our kitchen will have:
