Building a House

The Ashton Woods realtor suggested that we document each stage of our home building so we could look back on the process later. I didn't take a picture every day, but whenever you could see a noticeable change I took a picture. 

The lot we picked out on February 1st. 


Right after signing the papers.


February 8th we got our sold sign. Glad I took a picture because as soon as they started work, the sign was gone!

February 18th we had our first home design meeting where we picked out the interior. 

Some things we picked:
Stove 

Farm sink

Kitchen colors

Master bath colors

Front door

Vent



We waited a month and when we returned from our cruise on March 17th, they had boards up. 

April 6th, they laid the foundation.

April 11th we had boards. 

April 15th we had a second story.

April 18th it had been roughed in.


May 26th, the brick had started to go up. 

And cabinets were installed 

Doors had been delivered.

Kitchen was taking form. 



Stair railing was up. 

May 31st the painting process had started.

You can now see the bead-board on the cabinets.
