I am in shock. They finished!!!!! The walk through went wonderfully!
We had some punch list items but not as many as I had expected. There
are a few things that need to be done in terms of drywall dings, floor
dings, etc. I am having the railing put on the porch next week. It
wasn't required by code but I think it adds a nice touch to the porch.
Appliances look great and we now have a yard! I am amazed at how big it
turned out! With the Rome being a more vertical home it leaves more
yard on the lot. Perfect for us as we plan to install a deck and patio
underneath later next year! Closing is tomorrow!</div>

<br />
Still so much that needs to be done. Flooring should be going in this week as well. Next week is our walk through before closing so this is going to be quite a last minute push if we are to close on time. The yard is scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday, stone for Monday and cleaning next Tuesday and Wednesday. We rescheduled our new home orientation from Wednesday to Thursday to give them a bit ore time for last minute punch list items.

<br />
We have had some insane rain over the last few weeks and of course what shows up? A giant puddle of water in the basement. The trim down there had not yet gone in so no flooring or trim work was damaged. We were of course very concerned about drywall damage and the potential for mold. The PM had his boss come in, along with ServPro and dry out the basement. Damage was assessed and the source of the leaks was now the focus. The seals were all checked and it was determined that because power had not yet been turned on and the sump not on the water overflowed the sump. They have gotten power to the sump and it is now in working order. I have run over a few other days after heavy down pours and the basement was dry. Yay! This gives us an indication that a back up generator in the event of an outage is a must. There is obviously the potential for flooding with out it.Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05487769195526474861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254028124127594149.post-25769027783689542122015-07-10T09:22:00.002-07:002015-07-10T09:31:46.492-07:00Driveway, New Siding, Bathroom Floors and Granite!<b>June 10th, 2015</b><br />
<br />
Been an exciting few days! They are still a little behind with no stone work and no yard work being done but I guess some progress is still progress. We now have granite, first coat of paint and siding is finally going up! Stone is still not delivered and we have no eta at this point. The stonework takes several days so we will have to see what actually happens. Been in touch with my PM daily about timeline and what he thinks. I would love to close in July just because we get an extra month of mortgage delay but not sure what will happen at this point. Just glad to see progression!<br />

<br />
We finally have trim and cabinets! I was so excited to see some movement this week and what the kitchen might look like finished! We only have a few weeks left until closing so I am a bit nervous about our timeline for completion. They still have quite a bit to do and not much time. The siding is still not up and the stone is on back order of course. We got out closing information and should have our new home orientation on the 24th and closing on the 26th. If they can get some things done this week we should still be okay!<br />

<br />
Started this week out on a great note and so excited to see the siding go up! It stopped about half way through and I wasn't sure what the issue was. Got a frantic call from our sales rep saying that "some one" screwed up and our color choices are against the HOA since someone in our community right on either side of us had the same choices. Sigh. This means siding had to come down and new choices have to be made. I was very disappointed as we were so looking forward to the colors we had chosen. I was however, grateful int he end because I like the new colors even more! We ended up going with a light gray and irregular stone instead of the Thistle and stacked stone. Excited to see the end result! This photo is of the old siding...<br />

<br />
Finally got to the drywall stage! All of the framing issues were corrected and we now have drywall and tape done! A few things that we have noticed already. They dry walled over the small smurf doors in the attic, one of them where the upper HVAC unit is housed. I have not mentioned it since the installer will be back to turn on the HVAC, it will be figured out. The drywall ws being brought into the house in the rain so we have been back over several times to insure that drywall way not damaged or wet. Mold is a huge issue with our son and an uninvited guest so we will keep a close eye on any potential moisture. On to siding this week!!<br />

<br />
We have been moving along over the last few weeks! Framing done and the windows installed as well as roofing finished. The pre drywall meeting got a little derailed when dates and times were confused and we showed up when our PM wasn't ready for us. He had a meeting so we walked around the house on our own for a little bit before having to reschedule our meeting for Thursday the 14th. A piece of advice that was given to us by another Ryan home owner was just to pay attention to details. Things can be missed and you are the second set of eyes needed to make sure your home is constructed the way you want and what you paid for! While walking around our framed home there were several things we noticed that will need to be addressed. They are framing issues so can be fixed now but could possible slow us down by a few days or so. The following issues were noticed by just quickly walking through.<br />
<br />
1. The basement has a finished media room that was framed in as a hybrid of the finished and the unfinished version. It has doors where a door should be (found on the unfinished floor plan) and the correct door as well. The hallway has been framed in as it would be if it were unfinished. The storage room has the door frame int he incorrect spot and will have to be moved.<br />
<br />
2. The attic has a Jack and Jill style bathroom connecting the common area to the finished bedroom. The bathroom currently has no access to the bedroom with only one door in the bathroom. The electrician has placed an outlet where the door should be so once the framing is resolved the electrician will also have to move the outlet to the other side of the wall where it was supposed to be according to the Ryan plans.<br />
<br />
Needless to say we were disappointed but mistakes happen and how they rectify it is the real issue. Hopefully we will be full steam ahead once these have been taken care of. We will have our pre drywall meeting on Thursday and go into more detail with our PM about anything that needs to be addressed that we may not have seen on our quick walk through on our own.Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05487769195526474861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254028124127594149.post-73812184884252216832015-04-23T14:42:00.002-07:002015-05-12T19:26:37.390-07:00Onward and Upward!<b>April 23rd, 2015</b><br />
<br />
It has been a long last month but we finally have movement with our house! The lot was cleared and then some weather slowed things down a little bit. Now that the "April Showers" have subsided we are moving along quickly. Basement footers were poured and we did a little recon once the walls were cured. It was strange to stand in what will be your finished basement in several months! Once the basement had cured, wood appeared for the framing process to begin. I was amazed at the speed in which they get the framing going. I drove by the lot on Wednesday April 22nd and then again on the 23rd and the difference was amazing. They had laid floors in the earlier part of the week and then went from one wall completed to an entire first floor by Thursday! Of course making sure things are done correctly is always a concern but they seem to be thorough and have about 10 people on site working. I have been advised by a few people to keep watch and make sure things like optional windows have been installed. Sometimes options can be overlooked. So far everything is going along smoothly! Looking forward to the rest of the framing and on to the pre drywall meeting.

There have been many warm days with some rain but hopefully the process will begin to really move along. The lot was cleared and then excavation began for the basement and footers. The footers should be going in Tuesday the 31st and then the real fun begins! Make sure to check out the progression photos tab to see all of the changes!

We don't have a firm date for breaking ground but with selections and contracts ratified we are steps closer to that date. In Stonehaven (our neighborhood) there are seven or eight houses to be built and are racked and stacked based on closing dates. Ours is still a little bit out (June 23rd), so we will be put into the cue for dates. Our most recent meeting was the electrical meeting where things are discussed such as additional outlets, where to place cable, phone lines etc. We added a few connections and also had our box moved to the basement storage room instead of hall closet. This will make is easier for Chris to work his magic, mounting racks, servers, wireless etc. More room and a cooler temp for computers down there, not to mention leaving us with a hall closet! Needless to say he is very excited to plan out our home access with all of the newest goodies ;-) Our next meeting should take place int he next few weeks and be our pre-construction meeting. This will include us, the project manager (lead contractor), and sales associate to again go over everything. We will look at the lot together and hopefully have a better idea of where it will sit on the land so that we may begin to think about back yard, etc. Once that meeting has taken place we are "go for launch"! Expecting that we make break ground in March or so. I will have pictures of every step of the way!Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05487769195526474861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254028124127594149.post-50417752092501860592015-01-17T08:37:00.001-08:002015-01-17T08:37:02.997-08:00Specs and UpgradesAnyone who has ever built a house, especially from a company building whole subdivisions, knows that there are amazing models to show off their upgrades and features. You walk through and oooh and aaahh that all of this could be yours! Things to remember.... A. The furniture will not come with the house so remember that as you think of how awesome it looks and B. Upgrades are just that. Most of what you see form lighting and trim is an upgrade. While yes, this could all be yours, don't be fooled into thinking it comes with this fabulous house! So on to what we chose.<br />
<br />
The most important things to us were the space and any structural issues that we would have a hard time adding in later. With almost 9 kids we were going to need LOTS of bedrooms. The Rome offers a wonderful number of upgrades to accomplish this. We first started by adding in a full finished basement. This included a finished "media" room that could be used as a bedroom at a later date. We also opted for the full bathroom in the basement to accompany said bedroom. In addition to the four bedrooms on the second above ground floor we also chose to add a finished attic with an additional attic bedroom, common area and full bath. This bring our total to six bedrooms, two common areas within those bedroom areas and 4 bathrooms (not including the 1/2 bath on the main floor). While our kids will never all have their own rooms there is plenty of space to go around and we should be able to spread out quite nicely.<br />
<br />
Other option we chose were...<br />
<br />
<b>Two Car Side Load Garage </b>- Would have loved a three car but it's only available in the front load and can't be done on our lot because of the width.<br />
<br />
<b>Upgraded Gourmet Kitchen</b> - This included the larger island, stainless steel wall ovens, side by side, gas cook top, built in microwave, dishwasher and granite counter tops. We were toying with the idea of purchasing our own refrigerator, but with twins due in May we have quite a bit going on and the prices were comparable enough that we just had them do it.<br />
<br />
<b>Morning Room</b><br />
<br />
<b>Gas Fireplace with Floor to Ceiling Stone</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Carpeted Stairs with Wooden Balusters - </b>This may sound like a standard choice but you can choose wooden stairs or half walls instead of balusters. The balusters really look much better and wooden stairs plus kids in socks equals total disaster and unscheduled ER visits.<br />
<br />
<b>Bronze Finish Throughout House - </b>This is just personal preference. We got the darker hardware (includes door handles, hinges, cabinet hardware, faucets, lighting fixtures, etc.) because it matched our colors nicely.<br />
<br />
<b>Upgraded Master Bath - </b>This includes separate tub and shower, granite counter tops, and tile floors. This again is personal preference as well as future resale value. Bathrooms and kitchens can really make or break a sale when you go back into the market.<br />
<br />
We opted for no deck as this point so that we can design our own later. Their decks were nice composite or wooden but a little pricey for the size in my opinion. With a walkout basement we want to see the final layout on the lot and perhaps do a deck once we have all of that information.<br />
<br />
Total square footage is just about 5,000 and the exercise room in the basement is the only other optional room that we did not finish (about 120 square feet). So we maxed out this floor plan to allow for maximum space. <br />
<br />

A little about us. We have seven children (six at home) and two expected in May of this year. We have been moving around with the military for the last 18 years and are excited for my husband to have finally retired and get to put down some roots. We moved to Williamsburg VA in September of 2014 and rented when we first arrived to figure out where we wanted to be. Obviously we needed something big to support the needs of our large family and we wanted something worth our hard earned money. Fast forward to our decision to seek out the Rome. The following are a few of the specs that we knew we wanted in our home. I will also include details about our chosen upgrades in a future post.<br />
