Update: Our Nest Progress, Incredibly Blessed Nest Blog

The last time I posted about the progress on our new house was on February 5th. You can find that post here. A lot has happened, and not happened as planned. After two other builds, I’ve learned that you just can’t expect everything to go as planned; however, you can plan on and should be guaranteed for your original closing date to get always get pushed back. So, that is where we are. Our closing date has now been pushed back by two weeks, and I’m really hoping it happens because our lease is almost up on this apartment that we are currently calling home.

Here we go with our progress:

It’s hard to see, but at this point the walls had already been textured and we had banisters on our stairs and overlook.

Living area.

Second bath

Playroom entering into the Media Room. This wasn’t where the media door was originally supposed to be, we had them move it over so that we could have a wall to put a sofa against. This area overlooks down to our entry area.

We have a banister.

March 13

Baseboards, framing and window sill.

Breakfast nook/living area

Master bedroom

Master closet…All of this shelving is not supposed to be there. We asked them to leave it off because we have a custom closet being installed after we close. Now they get to take it all down.

When we went by on this day we had cabinets. They will all be painted white and I can’t wait to see them. We upgraded our cabinets to the 42″ uppers.

My husband recently contacted our contractor about our brick, of which still has not arrived. It has been on back order but was supposed to arrive by this week. Since we didn’t see anything, he called to find out about it. Come to find out, it’s now been pushed back until March 30. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it comes in then, so we can get to moving with the exterior. So until the brick comes, they will keep moving with the interior. That’s not the normal process, or way to do things, but I have refused to pick a different brick, especially when I chose that one because I liked it! We do have a garage door installed already.

Our contractor said that we would would be getting our granite installed by the end of this week, or beginning of next week. Our wood floors, tile, and carpet would be installed by the 30th. In between all of that, they will be painting. I picked a gorgeous wall color and I can’t wait to see it in our home. Stay tuned for another update in couple of weeks.
