More on the house

Saturday morning we decided to head out and see our home. As we first drove up, it did not look like much of the outside had been done going around the back revealed a lot of siding installed. Yes, it is a clay/gray/tan that a lot of people are using these days but it is a color we really enjoy and a nice natural tone. The main thing I love about the house is the prominent 8 inch white trim boards everywhere, which are also vinyl so the exterior is 100% maintenance free.

They also have started the brick work which you can see here. Brick is tough decision with out being able to see it on the house but Amy did a great job picking out the exterior colors.

As usual, Rhegan just can't get enough f the house. She loves running on the porch and picking up everything.

I think all the drywall is hung in the house. I say think because I really didn't look that close. Only a few places have tape and I know there is a lot of taping to do. The ceiling in the great room will not be an easy task.

Here's a picture of part of the creek running through the back yard. It felt like a jungle in the back area today. The humidity was horrible even at 8 am.

Here is one big disappointment. They already have the geothermal lines buried. I really wanted to see where the trenches were and how deep, but all we can see is the land regraded, shown below.

Not a very interesting photo but this is the upstairs unit for the heating/cooling unit. This is a 2 ton unit to cool the bedrooms and hallway area.

There ended up being so many outlets and switches in the house that it requires two boxes to run everything. I suppose this is good because when we go to finish the basement, I'll need plenty of places to put in new breakers.
