  1. Found your blog after you commented on mine, good luck to you guys! That dog is too cute.

    When do they expect to break ground?

  2. Awesome, we definitely like reading about other experiences so please follow us too. We got him at 8 weeks old and I still can't resist smothering him with kisses 2 years later. He's a major reason why we decided to upgrade to a bigger space. We will probably get another once we move in.

    At the moment they are telling us sometime in April but we still don't have a pre construction meeting date scheduled yet.

  3. It goes pretty fast once they start and at least you shouldn't have any weather issues to contend with! I will definitely follow your progress. Good luck!!

  4. Hey there we're in Beechtree too! Welcome to the neighborhood :0) We've been there since September 2012 and love it. Like literally not one complaint about the community. I haven't blogged in forever but I love seeing the progress of others. Happy building!!

  5. Hi Asia,

    Thank you so much. I think it's so cool to run into someone from the neighborhood. I cant say we knew a lot about the area before but as we learn more it makes us feel so good about buying. Why did you decide to buy at Beechtree? Please follow us and keep in touch.

  6. Owen, congrats to you and your beautiful family on your new home! I love finding blogs such as yours, as I find them very insightful on the whole process of a new construction home. Thank you for sharing your experiences. My family and I are building a home with NV Homes' sister company, Ryan Homes. I wish you guys the best of luck and I look forward to reading about your progress.

  7. Hi Joanne,

    Thank you and congrats on your new home. Even though we aren't first time home buyers, new construction is such a tricky thing to navigate. We definitely don't have all the answers but hopefully it helps anyone reading. At the same time were learning tons from all the great feedback. Please stay in touch and maybe we'll be reading your blog soon? :)

    1. Haha! As I told your fellow blogger, LaRon, I am certainly not brave or creative enough to create a blog! :) But, I love reading yours and his and following your progress. I feel like I'm part of it and I'm rooting you guys on the whole process! LOL You are absolutely right, buying a new construction is an experience like no other, which is why I am grateful for your blog. It helps me relieve some of my own stresses!

  8. Man, I'm glad to hear that even someone getting their degree in architecture finds the process daunting! We're just starting out, and there's so much to do within the first thirty days it can feel overwhelming, especially thinking about such tiny details about outlets, etc.

    1. Thank you and congrats on your new home. :) I see you guys are making the leap into the suburbs just like we did. As much as I love being in the city, were looking forward to having a little more calm and space. We will make sure to follow your progress and you should totally post some pics of Macie.

  10. Hello my name is Rhonda. I see we're going to be neighbors. I'm assuming your home is on Tibberton. I moved here in March of this year and love my home. Let me know when you move in and I'll stop by and formally introduce myself.

  13. Hi Owen, you puppy is so adorable! And those cats! They have my heart. I would love to introduce our schnauzer to a cat; but I don't think he will go for it. lol I might try it anyway.

    1. We love our pets, they really are our kids. We had the cats first and then got momo. It wasn't easy at first but they definitely like each other now.
