Week 6





All of the brick is done on the front of our house. We also took a picture of the house from the back. We upgraded to a larger deck. We are looking forward to having LOTS of cook outs!

Week 5




The house has a brick front. They have started on the bricking. The sides and back will be siding. They are also working on electrical inside. Things are really coming along. We can't get them to pinpoint a date for completion. We are a little frustrated since we can't lock in on an intrest rate. We hope they figure it out soon!

Week 4



The windows have been added. It is too bad that blinds don't come with them!

Week 3




The second floor is framed and the roof has been added!

Week 2





The first floor is framed out. It is amazing how fast they are working on it! The front porch is done, too!

Week 1

The footer for the house has been poured.


They have started on our house on Oakmont Lane. They have poured the footer.

Lot 10

This is the lot, lot 10, where our house is being built! It is not a huge lot, but perfect for NC heat! Most days it is too hot to go outside! We have a tent that we will put up in the yard, and more than likely cover most of it!!! Can't wait to watch the house go up!
We chose this lot in March. They did not brake ground until August....

New House

Watch our new house grow!!!
