Townhouse Update!

Hey guys!! I know it’s been a while since I shared an update on our townhouse- make that like four months- so what better time than now? There have been lots of exciting developments and as of this weekend we have drywall in the entire place. YAYY!!! The entire project is a few months behind (we were supposed to be in this fall) but it feels great to get closer and closer to a move-in date! Let’s take a peek at the progress…


JULY 30th
I think my last home update on the blog was on July 4th and we were still waiting for the foundation to be poured. And the waiting for that was the worst! But we finally saw some action at the end of the month and it was time to go vertical.


AUGUST 14th
Once things got going, it was nice to see actual progress with the construction. In just a few weeks we had the framing and exterior walls on the first floor.


AUGUST 28th
Things were moving on up! We now had framing on the second and third floors and after that came all of the exterior walls.


OCTOBER 2nd
Since we were visiting the construction site about once a week, we thought it was time we check things out inside. The pictures below will be our kitchen/dining area and living room. SO many windows!! I’m so excited for the natural light but window treatments are going to be no easy task.
One part of the house that we’re really looking forward to is the rooftop terrace. We were fortunate enough to get an end unit so we have an unobstructed view of uptown. Lots of grilling, wine drinking and corn hole will take place up here!
OCTOBER 13th
At this point windows had been put in and exterior wrapping was on the entire place. Shortly after that we had brick on the first floor.

 

NOVEMBER 20th
Over the past month, most of the progress has been made inside the house- wiring, plumbing, and ventilation. But when we visited this weekend we were thrilled to see we had interior walls! It is finally starting to look like a home and actually feels a lot bigger than when it was just framing. Here’s a photo of me in our living room and Ryan in our master bedroom!

I know these photos may not be exciting to most but to all my first time home builders… you know how it is! Building your first home is so exciting (and a little stressful, of course) and seeing the walls go up makes us so excited to get in there and start this next chapter of our lives. Now Ryan and I really need to get in gear and start picking out paint colors, furniture, and all the other fun stuff. Last night was spent searching for a dining table and sideboard. And we have a loooong way to go.
I’m so excited that this week officially kicks off the holiday season & can’t wait to get our tree! Hope y’all have a great Monday 🙂

    So exciting! It is beautiful already and I am so jealous of all of your windows! We built our first home last year and closed at the end of January this year. Waiting is the worst, I don't miss that. But it is so crazy to think that last year at this time, we were standing in our unfinished house and counting down the days…and in no time, we've already lived there for 8 months! It is hard to be patient, but you'll be in, in no time! Enjoy picking out all of your new stuff, that is the best part 🙂

    We built our townhouse too and now are in the process of building our new house so I love reading the posts – can't wait to see it all come together! Isn't visiting the site the best?! It all looks so nice – I love all your natural light!
