The home building is moving along quicker than expected at this point. However, they will be moving inside after Tuesday, August 25, 2015, so I will have to make calls/appointments with the PM in order to get updates.

Where am I in the process?
I am a few days away from my Pre-Drywall Meeting. The Pre-Drywall Meeting is where you tour your home with the PM so you can view the quality "behind the walls", confirm standard and selected options (i.e., telephone and cable TV jacks, and any changes made per a Change Order Addendum), confirm last minute details that affect framing and finishing materials, review arrangements for completion of your home and review any questions.

On Thursday, August 20, 2015, I had a meeting with Guardian to confirm the security keypad, volume controls stations, speakers, motion detector, cameras and voicelink.

Here are some photos of the inside from that visit:

You can also get a glimpse of the tray ceiling above.

Also, I received a letter with the potential dates of the New Home Orientation (October 22, 2015) and Settlement (October 26, 2015). All I can say is that we are moving along.

I am really surprised at how fast the framing and roof was constructed! All I can say is way to go Ryan Homes! They started mid-July and it is one week shy of mid-August...as you can see in the photos posted below, I have a roof! Now, hopefully once I have the pre-drywall meeting, things will slow down, but stay on schedule as planned. As of the pre-construction meeting, the PM said I should be looking to close by October 23, 2015. He may be right.

I guess now I will have updates for awhile until they get inside. They started the framing on August 5, 2015. Here are photos over the last two days...
