Our Dunkirk Ryan Home: 01/25/13

Things are moving along nicely, they have completed the siding and are now back on the interior. Due to the extreme cold that we are having right now, they are holding off on installing the stone veneer until middle or late next week. Our new PM contacted us last night in response to a request from me for a progress update. So he gave us a run down of the next week or so, as I said before due to the cold they are holding off on the stone and are focusing on the interior. Yesterday the dry-wallers finished the mudding ( I guess thats what you'd call it ), the filling of all the seams and covering of all the screws used to secure the drywall to the studs. Today he has a crew in the house doing all of the sanding and finishing of the wall surfaces in preparation for the paint crew to come in and apply the prime coat throughout the house. Which he has scheduled for tomorrow. He caught me off guard with that, it seems that for the second time during our construction we will have crews onsite working on a Saturday. He plans to have crews in Monday through Wednesday installing all of the hard surfaces which we happened upon, being stored in the garage of the home on our latest visit the day before yesterday. The hard surfaces are the flooring, hardwood & tile. I am uncertain if the carpet is included in this phase. They will also be installing the cabinetry. I am assuming that at that point he's planning to bring in the stone crew to put in the stone on the front of the house. As alway we have lots of pictures for you guys. But I need to talk about the prime coat that I mentioned earlier. We decided to go with a prime coat because ryan homes only offers one color option for interior paints, we liked the color that they were offering but decided against it because we want to customize our home. Yes it would have been nice to move into a home thats already painted, but we felt that paint is one of the cheapest and most dramatic ways to customize our new home, so we're going to choose a custom color and have it painted ourselves.
