Are you guys sick of these posts yet? Well, too bad. We just found out that there’s been a delay in the construction process, so we won’t be closing until right before Christmas, so you’ve got about a month of these posts left. Apparently, Ivory works with the largest supplier of cabinetry in the country. That’s great, except that, also apparently, the second largest supplier went under and the company that Ivory works with has absorbed a lot of the other company’s contracts. So, there have been lots of delays in cabinetry for lots of Ivory homes. What’s frustrating is that the cabinetry company isn’t handling things very well. Our cabinetry should have started going in on Friday, but instead of letting our superintendent know that it wouldn’t be happening, the cabinetry guys just didn’t show up. He had to call them to get the scoop and then they told him that they wouldn’t be able to do the install until the 26th, 11 days past the originally scheduled date. So, that’s the long story and the reason why we will now be spending our Christmas holiday moving. Can’t complain though. A new house is a pretty great Christmas present!

On to the pictures…

Stucco and stone work!

A little closer.

We have a garage door!

And a banister!

Our gray bedroom.

Another view of the master bedroom.

Bathroom surrounds got installed.

It was pretty disappointing to hear that we’d have to wait longer before moving in, but I am just so excited for this house. It should be a fun Christmas holiday!

Oh, and Bryce met our next door neighbor when he was out at the house. From what Bryce tells me, it sounds like they will be nice neighbors. Empty nesters with lots of grand kids. Sounded very friendly.
