Starting to Look Like a Construction Site

My wife stopped by the lot today because she was down the street anyway (stalker) and saw that we had sand bags, a power pole (installed but not hooked up) and egress window with well.

Looking like a Construction Site

So it's definitely starting to look more like a construction site and less like a vacant lot. Been watching weather, that should be the only thing standing in our way from starting next week. So far, so good.  The weather here changes by the hour though, so it is not predictable at all.

    1. Thanks. This whole experience has been a lot like going to Disney Land. You spend entirely too much money and stand in line for ever. For some reason once the roller coaster starts you seem to forget about waiting in line though. I'm hoping this works the same way.

  2. I think you win the prize for the most random lone Ryan Homes item found on a building site thus far. I wonder what the logic was in delivering an egress wall and window? Still, it is awesome to find something recognizable. I'm sure it will be off to the races next week. Can't wait to follow your progress. --Amy

    1. My wife actually found the random items and would like to collect that prize. She actually called me and told me she thought the other builders in the neighborhood were dropping trash on our lot (we have custom home builders in our division). When she sent me a text of what it was, I knew right away it wasn't trash. They should be installing this shortly after poring the basement. They won't need the well until they are ready to water proof and back fill though. I know weird but progress none the less.

  3. It does look like they are getting ready to do some building! LoL at the random egress window... Do you think it's yours? Very funny if so!

    1. I'm pretty sure it's our window. There has only been one RH built in ours sub-division (a Courtland) and they are sheet rocking already. We are next, so it couldn't be for anyone else. There is another Courtland a week or so behind us. Which will probably finish before us (Size, complexity, our bad luck, etc.). We are happy to see progress though. I'm watching weather like a hawk...as if I can do anything about it. Is there an anti-rain dance?

    1. Your anti-rain dance may go viral... I would just like to see something happen on our build, so more delays will not help that goal.

      I'm looking forward to seeing your vision come to life.

  5. Fingers crossed for no rain but they installed my footers with flurries and were doing work on the 1st floor in the rain so even that wont stop them sometimes.

    1. We've been out driving through these communities for over a year and I've seen them work through the winter too. Rain concerns me more than anything for the dig. We were supposed to have Thunderstorms and rain over the past couple days and didn't get it, I'm worried it will move to next week. Now if I an just learn that anti-rain dance...maybe once it goes viral. ;-)
