Progress Report (Our New Home)

We were sent this aerial photo of our home site (furthest lot on the left) this week from our community manager and thought you all would enjoy seeing the location of our home. One of the reasons we liked this lot was the proximity to neighbors. We liked the fact that we will only have direct neighbors to our right. The grassy areas you see to the north and west are maintained by the homeowners' association and will provide some extra play space for out little guy. We also liked this lot because it offers more square footage than a typical lot.


On Wednesday we went in for our final showroom appointment. For this appointment we sat down with our Quadrant sales associate Melinda and reviewed all of our selections. We were given $30,000 toward showroom choices and we ended up utilizing all but $32. We upgraded items such as our roof, counter tops, cabinets, lighting, and added a bathroom downstairs. It took us a little over an hour to complete our selections and finalize the purchase price. We left the showroom feeling good about our choices and are now in the process of prioritizing the items we plan on completing ourselves (landscaping in the back, fencing, accent paint, fans, etc.). The actual construction of the home will begin in the next couple of weeks. We look forward to the actual construction and watching our home take shape. We anticipate our home being completed in early June, just in time to welcome our little guy.
The picture to the right is looking at Mt. Rainier from our driveway. What a beauty!

We all want to know which house plan you bought?! The location looks great! The showroom I think was the best part of buying a Quadrant Home :)
