The house across the street

So we are in a slow period right now. Waiting on our pre-construction meeting next monday and for all the designs to be finalized and approved by the city. But we have gotten a little taste of the action from the house being built across the street.

When we first decided to build, their lot was just grass like ours, but the next weekend there was a foundation.

After about 2 weeks it looked like this:

And 1 day after we took these pictures the second story was nearly complete as well. I would expect the house to have roof on it before the end of the weekend probably.

This house does not face the cul-de-sac, but it is the other corner lot on the cul-de-sac. It is also the same floor plan as us and has a 3 car garage and many of the same features, but no sun room. It will also have a different elevation so it will look pretty different from the outside. The first picture is the great room and you can see where the fireplace has been framed in and there are windows on both sides.  That is the same layout as we will have and the those windows actually face our lot.  The next two picture are from the second floor where you can see that nothing has been framed out yet. and the last picture kidahn took of me standing on the second floor. She is in the general direction of where our house will be. I also took a picture from that spot looking at where our house will be, it is below:

We will go back out to that house either today or tomorrow and update you on the progress. We also got to meet the people who own it last night. Very good people and a lot of fun. And, we have gotten to know another couple in the neighborhood who are just a few houses down from us. Also great people!
