Creekside Manor is the subdivision where we will call home. It is a new subdivision behind New Union Elementary School. We bought this land about a year in a half ago from a friend of Ryan's that he works with. We bought 2 lots for practically the price of one. We knew that one day we wanted to build and his price was hard to pass up. On the day we found out we were having twins we came home and immediately started looking at house plans. A good friend of ours, Justin McIntosh, told us that he was wanting to start building houses for a living and once again we got an offer we couldn't pass up! He sub contracted his house when he built it years ago with the help of some of his family and our house will be the first house he will be building himself. We narrowed down a plan that we both liked, ordered the plans and then started the building process. After running around and getting all the permits that we needed, we broke ground on December 17th. Our new address will be 164 Roberts Creek Circle. Here are some picture of the footers that were dug and of the driveway. Ryan put in a freezeless faucet so water would be accessible to the workers.
December 28th they started laying the block down.
February 6th they placed the sub floor. Weather has been a pain and has kept us from progressing in a timely manner. But, that is what you get when you start building a house in the middle of winter!
February 8th they started framing! Finally, some progress!
February 14th the whole house is framed and you can finally see where everything is going to be!
February 19th OSB board was put up. Liam gets excited when we drive out there. He calls it "The New House." We showed him where his room would probably be but he was more interested in stacking the left over pieces of wood.
March 4th and we have the beginning of a roof!!!
March 6th the roof is finished!
March 9th and the house is "Roughed In" (I have to consult with Ryan so that I have my terms right lol) We have shingles and the house is wrapped. The doors and all 3 tubs were put in at this point.
Today, March 10th, the windows were put in but I forgot to take a picture. One of the windows was the wrong size so that window has to be reordered. Because of unfortunate circumstances we had to choose a different brick color. Ryan, Liam and I drove to McMinnville today to choose what we wanted. Hopefully that will be the next thing that we see go up! Plumbing and electric go in this week also! Be on the look out for Part 2 of this exciting process for us!
