It took some time, but Jesse and I went through the house and tried to find all of the drywall nail pops/drywall issues and anything else that was covered by our 1 year construction warranty to put on our list of items to fix. Most of it was just small nail pops but we have [...]

It Took Me A Minute
I pulled up to the house on Friday and went "huh, something's different" but I couldn't figure it out for a good minute before I realized it. The garage door had been put on! They had everything sealed up really well in there because they did the mudding for the dry-wall. It looks so much [...]
Drywall Has Been Hung!
I decided to take the girls before lunch for a little drive and of course, stopped by the house. I wasn't wearing my boots because I didn't expect anything to really have been done inside. Boy, was I wrong!! I pulled up and seen the garage had been dry-walled and I squealed. The guys were [...]
Pre-Drywall Meeting
Friday at 1pm we had our pre-drywall meeting! My father in law came with because he had some questions about some pipes in the basement, and it was nice to have someone else there with me who understood better than I do what some of the things were for. There's only some minor issues they [...]
The Brick Has Arrived!
This weekend I stopped by the house with my in laws in tow and had a really nice surprise, the brick had arrived!!! It looks a bit darker due to the fact that it SNOWED that morning. I'm so over this weather. I just wish it would warm up. 2 of the windows haven't been [...]
We Have Windows!
A lot has been happening at the Bentley and I'm so excited to share the progress on our home! She has windows and a front door on!!! How exciting is that?! Granted, there's no knobs on the door just yet, but we'll get there. I couldn't get a picture from my usual spot because workers [...]
An Utter Mess
Well...it snowed here 2 days ago and it created an UTTER MESS in our house. They didn't get the roof completely done in time (apparently it was too icy so they started framing the house behind us...i'm still not happy about that) so basically our whole 2nd floor ended up with snow and then it [...]
2nd Floor Done!!
There's so much activity on our lot now, it's amazing! As of yesterday they had the 2nd floor mostly finished. I was able to walk around upstairs and I got a little giddy about it. Right now everything looks super small, which I've heard that from a few people so far. It's an illusion, really. [...]
Um, WHAT?!
As I was driving Rylie to preschool this morning I debated about whether or not I should pop on over to our lot to see if anything was going on. Why? It was super cold out and it was snowing. I decided "I'll go over there anyways, I would like to get a picture of [...]
We’re Well Underway!
I wasn't sure this was even going to happen this month, but on February 16th I got a message from our community rep saying they were putting up the molds for the basement walls. I rushed down there to take a picture. We've been waiting for this step. Once all this gets done and over [...]
