Pre drywall meeting completed!

So we had our pre drywall meeting on 7/29 and they started sheetrock on 7/30. Sheetrock was finished on 8/7. It's crazy how much they do so fast. Since they've painted, trimmed, installed the kitchen, installed bath vanities, and tiled both bathroom showers. They also have had the utilities ran to the house but I'm not sure if it's connected inside yet. We are going tomorrow to see the progress and take some new pictures. We were also told that rough grading should be completed this week or early next week. We can't wait for that because they will finally get rid of the huge pile of dirt in the backyard so we can actually see our backyard.

We also had the chance to walk the house prior to the insulation and any gaps that were visible have all been taken care of. They use foam everywhere to really seal what needs to be sealed. I made sure to point out every spot were we saw light from the outside so we should never have issues with any bugs!

During our last walk with our PM Bill we were also told that the hvac system had less than 4% loss. We were also told that they will complete another test closer to settlement.  I asked if I will see a copy of these reports and I was told I can. With a loss of less than 4% I really can start to see how much more energy efficient this houses will be. We also received a letter from Ryan Homes letting us know Sept 22nd is our closing date! Exciting less than 6 weeks away. Here's a few pics prior to sheetrock.

  2. That was fast Frank! I saw them working on the drywall last week, and was surprised to see them using drywall screws instead of nails, pretty cool.

  3. Looks great! Man they put your countertops in quick! Ours didn't go in until just a few days before the final "finishing process" took place. That's awesome to see it so early on. Kitchens are such a focal point in so many RH models, beautiful picks for your kitchen!

  4. Thanks for the comments. Yea we didn't add all the options we wanted because we're gonna do them on our own but the kitchen was a must for my wife. Yea Frank they actually make drills designed for sheetrock. They have adjustable depth so it stops and it will countersink the screws without even trying. Pretty cool.

  5. Hi Frank, I 'm glad I stumbled upon your blog! We bought the last available lot (country woods) and we are now very curious as to how this developer conducts the construction. I now realized that your Rome is the property that my wife and I said to have a HUGE yard! We haven't started anything yet, but It's good to see Blogs from Country woods. Nice white siding! Very elegant.

  6. Hi Rei, Congratulations on the house. Overall the construction was good. There was a few issues that I brought up during our build but our project manager did a great job taking care of any issues. The yard was a big deal for us so the kids can have plenty of place to play! I've had an updated post ready to post but still need a few more pics. Thank you
