How is the house coming along?


So we signed the paper work on our house at the beginning of May. Then we waited, and waited and waited. Not much happened in May because our builder had to buy the lot from one of the other builders in the neighborhood.  Then in the last housing update-we finally saw a sign.  

At the beginning of June, we traveled to see Jason's and my family as a little week get away.  Of course, this was the same weekend that things started to happen.  Before we left, we did get to see the foundation slab poured.  When we got back from our trip, we came home to this:


The next day we saw this:

And by the end of that week we saw this:

  

 The next week this happened:
 
  

And this is Jason's favorite part on the back of the house:

And now this is what it looks like:



Currently, the dry wall is in and they are working on the mudding and taping of walls and ceiling. 

Jason and I have never built a house before, and honestly I never though I would ever have this opportunity.  It has been really interesting to see all the steps and how much changes over the period of a week-sometimes just a day!  It is really hard to believe that in less than two weeks we get to hold our son and three weeks from today we close on our new home-one we hope to be in for a LONG time and to be able to welcome family and friends who are visiting the Savannah area.
