It’s been a while (it’s been a whiiiiiile) since I’ve posted something about the house and the move and the whole shebang. It turns out, moving cross-country to buy your first home really takes it out of you! The good news is… we’re in! And we’ve actually been in for a few weeks now, but we’ve…

Appliances are in!
Another week and another update on our soon-to-be finished home in Easton Park. This week we received our regular update and photos with news that our carpet is in (though the photos were taken before carpet went down) and that our electric meter has been put into place. You can also see in the photos…
Floors, Cabinets, Countertops… and a Closing Date.
Boy, that escalated quickly. Last week’s update brought news that our masonry was being finished on the front of our home, as well as the electrical being nearly wrapped up. Today we received a quick update letting us know that our plumbing set-outs had gone in and that our irrigation would be going in next week. Not only that,…

Check these suckers out below: Today I received another call…
A bunch of updates!

Raise the dang ole roof!
We have a roof! Almost! We have part of a roof, at least. Each week I receive a call from our contact at Milestone, Kim, and our contractor, Colton, who deliver updates on the progress of our home. This week? Ducts have been put in place for or our HVAC system, the roof has been…
Life-Changing Decisions
I’ve given this a lot of thought lately and I’ve finally come to the conclusion on some life-changing decisions that I needed to make. Some of them have been real doozies to decide upon with this first one being the dooziest. But it’s what I feel like I need to do. I’m going to try…
