Third Floor

Well we have a roof and Loft done, and more pretty pink stuff all over the place.

I keep wondering what is in the shipping container, but I never get up the courage to open it. All of the building materials so far have been dropped off by trucks, and left in piles outside the house. Interior stuff? Windows, Glass, Brick? The framers living quarters? A pet Dog? I dunno.
Talking to the rep at the sales office, we got a bit more information on the merger with Cachet. According to her there will not be any changes that affect us at all. She seemed pretty excited though, Cachet is bringing in more house designs for her to sell, I guess it gets boring selling the same ones over and over. Cachet is apparently more in the area development end , where Reid's is focussed on the building end. The partnership should apparently speed up the next phase a bunch with Cachet bringing in their expertise in getting the area ready. The next phase seems like it will be a different focus, at first, all the lots going in are larger and the house designs are all over 2000 sq feet. There are now only I think 8 lots available in our Phase. I think when we reserved ours there were 18 left. It is amazing how fast they all seemed to go.

Gabbi Finally noticed how quiet the area is. We were sitting in front of the house, with the car off, and it was dead silent. The only sounds noticeable on a regular basis are the high amount of kids playing.

I forgot to get photos, but the person 2 doors down is putting in an above ground pool. I didn't think one would actually fit well in that size of backyard, but I guess we shall see, especially if they decide to put fencing up soon.

It looks like Hanzel and Gretle should come skipping out any minute. I second the hot tub vote. ;)

Haha I wouldn't mind a hot tub, but that would be a future purchase. I actually have no idea what it would cost to heat one year round. I love them in the winter though, in the snow sitting out with a drink , in the hot water, watching snow fall.
