Progress, Progress, Progress

We had our pre-construction meeting in June with our realtor Patty Blackwelder (who I can't recommend enough), project managers and Ryan Homes representative.

The meeting was fairly straightforward. We went through all of our pre-selected interior and exterior options and talked about the schedule for the build.

Apparently, our house is being completed much quicker than we anticipated, which was a neat surprise, but also created some anxiety since we had always planned for an October move-in. Luckily, Patty helped us get that squared away so there are no lingering worries for us on that front.

We were also happy to find out during the meeting that our head PM had a score of 99/100 on his last house, which was apparently one of the highest ratings to date in the community. Not that we have heard any negative stories from folks who built in Potomac Shores, but it is nice to know that our home will be in good hands.

Since that meeting less than seven weeks ago, we've watched our lot go from a flat piece of land, to a large hole, to concrete walls, and now to a point where we can actually begin to see the finished product.

We have our pre-drywall walk through with our PM Brendan next Wednesday. I'm impressed with him so far, especially since he took the time to face time with us today to ensure that the crew was putting our utility box in the place we wanted it in our basement.

We're super excited to hear about the progress in-person and to learn  about all the ways they are making our home energy efficient.

Till next time!
