Perry Doesn't Mess Around

And I'm serious! When they get going, they get going! It's looking like the house might be finished in April. There is a strong possibility Tyson and I will close and move in at the beginning of May, which is one month sooner than we planned. We originally were going to let it sit for one month before we close so we weren't paying one month's rent on our apartment AS WELL as a mortgage. We wanted to close in June, and we would finish paying rent that June, and then start paying the mortgage in July. After thinking about it, we'd rather pay one extra month's rent along with the mortage instead of just waiting. We don't want to stay any longer in this apartment while we watch our finished home just sit on its lot. We figured it is very do-able for us, and we can afford to do that. I know I want to get into our home as soon as possible, as well as Tyson.

Below are some videos of the different stages our house has gone through in THREE DAYS! Tyson and I went and took a look on Wednesday, March 10th, and they were pretty much finished with the framing. The very next day, we had the framing for the roof, siding, windows getting put in, pipes....you name it! And all of this over the course of ONE DAY! I apologize ahead of time. Some of these videos might be repeating some things because, unfortunately, my camera only video tapes in one minute intervals, so I tried to pick up where I left off as best as possible.



March 10th-Framing is complete and walls are starting to get put up.






March 11th-Framing of roof complete, some piping put in, and the windows were getting put in.

March 11th-As we were talking to our next door neighbor, we found out that the workers worked on our house up until about 11 at night! Then! We discovered that our siding was put up! We didn't realize it until we were leaving.

If you can't view the videos, here are some overall pictures of the stage our home is currently in:

March 8th- Getting the frame of the house finished.

This is what was complete late afternoon on March 10th.

The VERY NEXT DAY, frame for the roof is up, windows are up, black tarppy things (don't make fun! :) around house and getting ready for insulation.

Back of the house with the siding put up. Windows are up.

Our side/backyard. It's nice and wide!

Our covered patio....the BEST decision we made!

They started on the piping throughout our house. The water heater is already set up.

Kitchen/Morning Room.

Looking down the hall from our front door.

Dining room.

That's it so far! They're working hard and moving right along! We got an email from our sales person, and he said that they should starting putting the roof up within the next few days.

Anyways, Tyson and I hope all is well with everyone. Today was my last day of work until the 22nd. It's Spring Break for my school district! ....YAY! Tyson's working, as usual, but, I'll at least be home all day on his two days off so that will be nice. I don't know when everyone else's Spring Break is, but we hope everyone has a good one! Enjoy the weekend!
