So yesterday we had our pre-construction meeting with the Project Manager and Sales Rep. I had to go alone because the hubby was sick but I think I held it down well. Before the meeting I searched other blogs to see questions that I should ask. Our project manager was great! He's a young guy but definatley knows what he's talking about! He went over every inch of the house on the blue print and explained everything in great detail. He went over all of our selections and colors to make sure they had everything right. I was very impressed. He also said he would be sending out weekly emails with status updates and pictures on Mondays. We live pretty close so we will be able to visit often but those emails are still very helpful. They are projecting that the house will be done in late February so we will probably have closing sometime in early March. Seems so far away especially since we started the process back in April. But we are soooooo excited to finally start construction. They break ground on Monday.
Pre-Construction Questions
1. Is there an attic storage space? Will there be lights/vents in the attic?
2. What outdoor lights are standard?
3. Will the windows have a screen?
4. Will the laundry fit a front load washer/dryer?
5. Where will the outside hose bibs be?
6. Will the backyard be flat or have a slope?
7. Will we have curved shower rod in guest bathroom?
8. Will master bath shower doors be slide or pull open?
9. Which side is the garbage disposal on in the kitchen sink?
Most questions were answered when he went through the blueprints.
I will post updates and pictures next week!

How Our Ryan Homes Journey Started
Building a Mozart Masterpiece with Ryan Homes
We have been in the process of building our townhouse since last April! However now things are Finally getting started! I've been reading practically OBSESSED with all of the Ryan Home blogs so I decided to make one myself. This is kinda a big deal ( at least I think so anyway) and I want to document the process. The good the bad and the ugly lol. I hope my blog will be as helpful to someone else as much as the ones I've read were helpful to me! OK.....so we are building a new construction townhouse with Ryan homes. The model is the Mozart. I started throwing the idea about buying a house around with the hubby and finally convinced him to go check out the model with me. First of all the neighborhood is amazing! It's exactly what I was looking for. It has 3 community centers, a pool, playgrounds, jogging trails and it is close to a nice lake with a farmers market and summer concerts series! It's beautiful! The sales rep explained that it is an up and coming area for young families like us. We toured the model and I LOVED IT! It has pretty much everything I wanted! Here are some pics of the model we chose:
Kitchen with stainless steel appliances, island and breakfast bar.
Open concept living room right next to the kitchen
Nice size master bedroom
Best part: I will have an office/craft room!
After a LONG time waiting we are finally set to start building. We have our pre-construction meeting tomorrow. I will update with the questions I asked and how it went.
