Hi Guys & Gals! I'm really happy to report that you have a foundation. From the looks of the pic and I suspicious that you're gonna have the same kind of foundation as Calc. The top row of blocks are sawn in half lengthwise and looks like fingers protruding out into the concrete to give it grip. Although, I did miss the pouring of my foundation so this just may be the way that they do it! Interesting...enjoy the pic!!!

There will be many more to follow!!

Hi All! Gracie and I took a nice little tour of your house today and there's lots to report. You're getting stucco on the outside and they were starting with the lanai. I got a pic of the workers putting up the knock down finish this afternoon. It also looks like your drywall has been completed. You're coming along very nicely!!!

Hi Hotrod! All I can say is wow! You are getting so close I'm excited for you!!! They've started the finishing work on the summer kitchen and you have the most beautiful granite in the kitchen, laundry room and MBR. The light fixtures are in as well as your HVAC. The trip looks to be completely installed although it's not filled or painted. Everything is just looking wonderful!!!

Just a few more...I couldn't help myself!!!

Hello Everyone! Hope the weather is holding for you across the pond. We're doing well here although the weather is kind of cool (low 60's & sunny). Your house is really coming along and they've almost completed the drywall and they have installed the metal lattace for the fancy doodad's on the front facade. It won't be long for you guys!

Rusty: By the time you get through with all this supervision, you will be able to build one of these homes

Cool pictures! HotRod: What DIDN'T you get granite on! Hahaha! It's beautiful! Friends of mine here in Virginia have that same granite and it is amazing! I love how it "moves." It looks like Gracie thinks there are supposed to scraps already in front of the barbeque in the summer kitchen. Smart dog! Thanks again for the pictures, Rusty!

Yea--a foundation--we're excited and also excited to see blue sky in the background as all it's been doing here for the past 3 days is pour! I'm ready to fly South--I can just pitch a tent before the house gets finished Gosh so much progress on the other houses in the neighborhood--I'm liking it and it's adorable to see "the watch dog" in the pictures!

Hey Everyone!!! I'm gonna take a few minutes away from my "official neighborhood duties" and post a few pics of the lanai I just had painted. I used Superior Concrete Designs by Woody and couldn't be happier. The field color matches the house. The wide stripe is a clay red and the inner stripe is a teal. I know it's a little out of the box color wise but you'll just have to wait until the whole lanai is finished with the homemade sideboard and occasional tables. The field color is a little bit off in the pics due to the light and it really does match the color of the house. I really like it but I have yet to send pics to Janice so I don't know if I'm in trouble or not. She left town after giving me broad instructions on the colors that she would like. She gets back next Monday so if you don't hear anything from me after that time you can assume that she didn't like the color and I'm probably buried in someones foundation. Well, at least I'll still be in TV won't I???

Looks great! Great colors!

It looks like you are having just a little bit too much fun, WVMtnBoy! The colors look great.

Long day away from posting today trying to clear up a bunch of stuff here in Chicago! Logged on and saw alll of the awesome pictures! Rusty, get a bit carried away today? you certainly went to town on my house and I thank you for it. OMG, I never thought the day would come when i would get to see the granite! What a great surprise! Can't wait to get Gracie in the pool with a life preserver, but she definitely will get a scrap or two from the grill! What a big change from the last pictures you sent! Calc, there is NOT granite in the laundry room!!! But found a laminate that mimics the granite everywhere else! And what about your place? Holy cow! I am so jealous every time I see that wrap around lanai! Twin, foundation! Soon all the pics will be for you! Millie's house????? Is that the pooch? There was mega progress there as well. Terry, see you in Dec for your design meeting! Stop on by as I know you are already familiar with my kitchen!
Rusty, I was trying to picture your lanai when you told us about the stripes and colors. Now I get it and love that you have personalized it so nicely for yourselves! I want to see it in person and enjoy the work that was done. Good job all the way around, and again, we are all indebted to you.

Rona, Sarah and anyone else impacted by Sandy. Please be safe and warm tonight and you are all in my prayers. Rona I know you are very directly in the path and I hope you will not have any devastation at your home. I have been watching the video from your hometown. I see that Jimbo (on Long Island) is also absent and wish him and Cathy a safe night as well. Please stay safe and post back to us as you are able.
