Stuart Construction - Week 23 - The Final Week

Week 23 - April 22-28, 2013

YEA!!!  We got this at 2:03pm on Thursday, April 25, 2013.  The house is ours!!!

I was the first one to get sent the email that showed our CO.  I opened the email and literally cried.  I called Chad, the guy filling in for our site super and cried on the phone to him, and told him how appreciative I was of him and his hard work this week.  We ran into some issues with trying to get our CO and that's why it was delayed.  We needed to jack hammer out the front sidewalk (yes, the one that they poured wrong at the beginning of April!) because the slope wan't at the right pitch (thank you Broomfield County Building Department).  We also had some windows in the dining room that were supposed to be tempered glass and they weren't.  Thankfully Chad worked his magic with the inspector and convinced him to give us the CO and put up caution tape over the windows until they were replaced with the correct glass.   But we got it, finally, we were given the green light to move in!  The house was cleaned, vacuumed, it was ready to become our home.  

One day while scouring the internet to find ideas for paint colors, and home decorating ideas, I came across a link to a bunch of pictures about a master bathroom. I LOVED the look of the bathroom and wanted to find out more details about the products in the bathroom; enter the blog Lot 23.  Turns out, Amy, the blog creator was in the process of building her own house.  Now, I should say, I feel a little blog stalkerish in that I would look up her blog all the time, then I started following her blog, but I have to say, I LOVE her design, I LOVE her taste.  She was building a beautiful house and the details she was putting in her house, I was wanting in mine!  Amy's house build was about a month ahead of mine, so it was nice to see what she was going through and what I was about to go through!  Anyway, back to why I brought up Lot 23.  Before she moved into her house, Amy walked around and took shots of her house clean and empty.  Although I took a ridiculous amount of pictures of the building process, I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me before seeing Amy's blog to take pictures of the house empty and done.  So I did that this week.  The day after we got our CO, I kicked everyone out of the house, I cleaned up and vacuumed one more time, then I took pictures of our house, done and ready to be ours.  Here are those pictures!

I clearly didn't do a fantastic job taking pictures of the empty house, since I am missing the dining room, close ups of the kitchen, the laundry room, the powder room, and the hall leading down to those rooms!  Oops!  They do exist, just didn't get before shots!  My bad!!!
