As for the title of the post - it appears that right now watching the house be built is like watching paint dry. Very subtle changes week by week. We're told that once the exterior is done, sheet rock is hung and cabinets are in then things move quickly. We hope so as the goal is to close and move in by the end of the year.
During all this time we managed to make it to the design center and had a productive morning with Troy picking out tile, paint color and carpet. Here's a photo of our final choices.
We're happy with the choices and think it will go well with our existing furniture. There's a couple of pieces that will need to be replaced but those are minor. During our time at the center, we were looking to upgrade tile in the heavy traffic areas downstairs. Then Troy threw a "wrench in the gears" by saying that we could go with wood and also save some money. We jumped at that suggestion and substituted wood floors for tile. The wood should make for a great entry into the home.
The roof is decked and appears to be ready for the tile. Sheet rock is sitting in the garage. And there appear to be boxes ready for the lights on the front of the house.
So that's the update - and more design and decorating inspiration to come this week - we promise!
