We just finished painting the exterior of our house ourselves. It took us a week and a half, one tall ladder, a Jeep (to put the ladder in), about 20 gallons of paint, a paint sprayer, several rolls of painters tape, two paintbrushes and a lot of sweat! We ended up using Sherwin William's paint, which we got on their 40% off sale for a great deal. The body color is called Gray Matters, white trim is Snowbound and the accent teal is Mediterranean.<br />
Next on our to-do list is to rent an rototill machine to even out the ground so we can have the top soil delivered and spread out evenly. Then we will build the fence around the property. We have waited on that because we want the topsoil truck to be able to access the yard.<br />
We have some plans on improving the exterior, we are going to add a large pergola on the back patio and a small one in front of the garage door. I will add some sample pictures so you can see what I mean. :)<br />

We are going to build a pergola attached to the house like this on our back patio, probably next summer. I like the lights they hung for night time entertaining.</div>

So, sorry it has been a month since I posted! In my defense it has been quite a busy and hectic month. <br />
We moved into our beautiful new home on April 19th, right after the open house was over. The house is just perfect, except that we still need to paint the exterior, which we are doing ourselves, and the landscaping. <br />
<br />
We have been busy caulking the exterior cracks and crevices, to prepare for the paint. Kevin decided that he would buy a sprayer and we will probably rent a genie lift to reach the high places. A nearby neighbor inspired our color choice, every time I drove by his house I just loved it. So one day I saw him out on his driveway and I pulled over and practically accosted the poor man. I asked him the name and company he used. He was flattered that I liked the color so much and said I wasn't the first to ask him. It was Rodda paint but it was a custom color. Luckily, I was able to get the formula for his color and got a sample mixed up for me. It is sort of a pale greenish/grey. Hard to picture, so I will post a picture later on when the paint is finished.<br />
The interior is all finished and perfect. We are still unpacking and trying to decorate when we have time. It is a slow process right now, between the kids, school and work.<br />
<br />
Final thoughts on building our home:<br />
<br />
Would we use Adair to build a house again? YES! The quality and low cost far exceeds any other builder in the area. Adair was very attentive to our every question and concern, especially Johanna, Micah and Chris at the Medford office. The appraisal for our home came in almost $100,000.00 more than what we paid for it! Instant equity rocks!<br />
<br />
Things we would do differently:<br />
<br />
We would have saved more money for the homeowner to-do's. The concrete and painting bids were much more than we anticipated. <br />
We would have added the third car garage.<br />
We would have added granite counter tops upstairs as well as downstairs.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures, my laptop has a virus so these are the only pictures I had on my camera. I will post more once things are more organized and decorated.<br />
<br />
Thank you for following along on our home building journey!<br />

The concrete was finished today and the finish guy was hard at work today to finish up all the trim and little touches, the siders will be back tomorrow to wrap the front porch posts. We should be able to move in on Friday evening or Saturday as long as everything passes for the final inspection!! We have already passed for water and electric. :)<br />

Now Kevin and I are regretting not getting them upstairs as well. I highly recommend you go to Granite Mafia/Cornerstone Counter tops, <a href="http://www.cornerstonecountertops.com/">www.cornerstonecountertops.com</a> if you are in southern Oregon. They did a beautiful job at a reasonable price!<br />
As far as the rest of the house goes, the vinyl floors are in, most of the trim work is done, electrical and plumbing are finished. The flooring guy still hasn't installed the laminate and carpet, not sure what's taking so long... We had a painter lined up and the day before he was going to start painting he power washed the house then called me and said he wanted $1,000.00 more than what he bid me, stating he accidentally gave me winter rates instead of summer rates(even though it's April and not summer). He wouldn't honor his original bid, so we decided to go with another painter. Unfortunately the house won't be painted now for a couple of months. But before the original painter left our house he dumped his garbage on our front yard, gee thanks buddy! So, needless to say I <strong><u>DON'T</u></strong> recommend 'That Cheap Painter' in Medford!<br />
As far as the driveway goes, we hired John Scott and he and his sons were busy putting up the forms for the driveway, front porch, side steps, and back patio on Friday. They will be out pouring the concrete on Monday and Tuesday. I'm excited to see the end result next week. <br />
Now for some pictures...and just a note these were taken before the light fixtures were installed.<br />

I think it will be the week after that actually because the concrete guy won't begin until Wednesday. The painter is booked up until the week after next, but he is making a special trip out to the house next week to do the caulking so the house can pass inspection. The flooring was started this week but it was stalled due to some faulty pieces of laminate that needed to be replaced. So, the flooring will be completed next week. The granite countertops are being installed tomorrow, and I am really excited to see them! The electrician and plumber will also be out at the house next week, doing all of their finish work. <br />
I cannot tell you how excited we are to finally get to move into our <strong>HOME</strong>! Throughout this whole process everyone at the Medford Adair office have been so helpful and patient with us. They have spent literally hours upon hours on the phone with us, answering every silly little question I could come up with and some big ones too. Now here we are 2 years and 3 months after we bought our lot, finally nearing completion. Kevin and I are so HAPPY! :)<br />

We spent one week and a day painting all day to get the entire house finished on time! My dad came and sprayed the primer throughout the house and sprayed the white on the ceilings and closets. Then Kevin and I went in and painted. At first I was cutting in with a paintbrush and I must say I was pretty awesome at it. Then Kevin got a little tool called the Accubrush. It's AMAZING! It does all the work for you with cutting in. I recommend it if you want nice clean lines, look on Amazon, that's where we ordered ours from, you can also watch videos about it on youtube. We finally found the perfect grey for our downstairs. The problem with grey is that when you get it on the wall it can look blueish or even purplish. So, I recommend getting samples and trying them out first. We ended up getting four samples and finally found 'the one'. We went with Behr paint for the interior. I will list the colors under the pictures.<br />
The finish truck has arrived and will be unloaded TOMORROW! We are in the home stretch people! We are so excited to finally move into our dream home. The first to be installed are the cupboards I believe. I will try to get out there to take pictures any chance I get. On to the pics...<br />

The mudding and texture ended up being a week late. Tom our mud guy was able to bust it out all in a few days and got it done yesterday afternoon, so that we could start painting today! Right now we're spraying the primer and then we will spray the white areas (office, spare room, closets, bathrooms and ceilings). Tomorrow we will be able to start painting the room colors. We went with a light grey for the main house areas and master bedroom, a green-blue for the laundry room, pale pink for our youngest daughter's room, and pale yellow with a bright pink accent wall for our eldest daughter's room. We also finally decided on the exterior paint colors for the house, also grey. I forgot to get any pictures of the colors though. Here's what's happening so far today:<br />

Today the drywall was finished in the house, then the mudding will begin next week. We should be painting the interior by next weekend! I sent Kevin to get paint samples mixed for the different rooms, I am eager to get them on the walls and see how they look.<br />

This nice warm spring weather should help with the drying out. But in the meantime we have been busy doing backfill, utility trenching, french drain installation and some interior wall insulation. The rain gutters were just put up last week. The front door area was torn out and is waiting to be rebuilt sometime this week. <br />
Clayton our excavator's son was hard at work the last couple of weeks, doing all of our backfill, french drains (which they did at an excellent price), and utility trenching. He did a great job helping us figure out the landscaping with the slope we have. Kevin has also been working on putting in our water line, he will be out tomorrow to finish it up so it can be inspected by the city.<br />
We finally made a decision on the granite for the kitchen and downstairs half bath. We went with Granite Mafia in Medford and Becky the owner gave us a fantastic deal on gorgeous 'Blue Pearl' granite! Kevin and I are so excited to see it installed! I would definitely recommend going to her if you want granite! <br />

It's a slow going process. The propane heater we bought ended up being a money pit. The tank only lasted about 24 hours, so it wasn't economical to keep driving way out there to fill it up every day. We put a oil heater in the house and an electrical heater and fan. So those are slowly drying it out. Micah from Adair came out there today and tested the wood, most areas are under 20% moisture, we need to get 18% or below for them to do insulation and drywall. We are getting close! The garage door was also delivered and installed! We are also waiting for the framers to come back out and fix the entryway. Some one made a mistake and put the window that's next to the front door too far to the left, making the trim on the front look weird, plus there's some mold in above the window inside the house. So that will all be ripped out and replaced. There's some siding in the front that still needs to be completed as well.<br />
The excavator was out there today trenching for the electric, phone, water and sewer. The electrical and sewer inspector showed up too and passed both trenches.<br />
In the mean time Kevin spent some time going around the interior of the house and caulking the floor boards that touch the exterior walls. Just so that we have an extra barrier for bugs and heating. He also started putting up insulation in the upstairs interior walls, since Adair doesn't do that. We want the bedrooms to be well insulated. <br />
We also found two beautiful granite slabs for the countertops. We decided not to go with black afterall but decided on a white/grey with garnet specks. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it.<br />

Nothing more has really happened on the house. The siders are still trying to finish the front porch. They were sick this week so the job has been a little delayed. The excavator Frank will be there on Monday morning to start the back fill and trenching our utilities down the driveway from the street. We are also going to be renting heaters next week to dry out the interior of the house. So, there may not be any posts on here until that whole process is done and the sheet rocking has begun.<br />
My major job right now is picking out our paint colors. It's much harder than I thought it would be. But so far we have decided on a light grey for all of the downstairs, stairway and upstairs hall. The girls rooms will be different shades of pink. I still haven't decided on the master bedroom though.<br />
Yesterday we went to Home Depot and we found a very nice tile back splash for our kitchen, I bought one square foot so I could bring it to the house today and it looked great. It has some stainless steel pieces in it that will go well with our appliances. We have also decided that we are going to get granite counter tops. We are probably going to go with some kind of black. The kind I like so far is called Galaxy.<br />

Kevin and I headed out to the house today to pick up a couple of truckloads of wood to take to Biomass. We also swept the house. There was a lot of debris from the electrician, wire was everywhere. We also have a pile of garbage that still needs to be taken to the dump. Mostly it's just little pieces of siding, plastic wrappers and techshield scraps.<br />
The electrician, plumber, siders, and heating and air guys have all been hard at work on the house. The siding is almost done, all they have is the front of the house to finish and the porch. As far as I can tell the plumbing is done until the utilities are connected. The electrical looks almost done, there are no receptacles yet though. He also put in an electrical panel in the garage.<br />
Next up is drying out the house. Chris from Adair said he is going to the house next week to test the moisture content in the wood. We will most likely have to rent heaters to dry out the house. We also are waiting for a call back from our excavator so that we can schedule him to come do the back fill and trench our utilities down the easement. He is going to have to cut the asphalt and bring them across the easement to the other side. It's going to be a hassle, and I will be happy when it's all done with! <br />
On with the good stuff, here are pictures from today. :)<br />

A lot has happened at the house in the last few days. We stopped by today and saw that most of the windows have been set and the rest will be finished today. The siders are out there working on the windows, trim and siding today. We ended up buying extra window trim on our own to finish the trim around the windows on the sides and back of the house. We bought it from Parr lumber in Medford, where Adair buys all the lumber for the houses they build. Mel at Parr really helped us out by getting our trim delivered the same day we ordered it! Thanks!! The plumbers were also out there today cutting pipes and drilling holes for pipes to go through. The heating and air conditioning guys were there as well, they installed the HVAC and the vents and such were there ready to be installed. As we drove away a roofing truck was driving up with the roofers. So, hopefully the shingles will be laid today as well. The weather is perfect right now, hopefully the house will be sided and roofed before the rains start again. :)<br />

We were happy to see the trusses installed and the front porch/gable as well. The house seems so big now that there is a semi roof up!<br />
Kevin spent a lot of time picking up the scrap lumber and loading up the truck, and I swept out the sawdust and water from the house. The sun was shining today and it was semi warm, so the downstairs floor was drying out where the sun was hitting it. Which is a relief since it has been drenched in water from the get go! Next up they should be putting the plywood up on the roof then getting ready to install the shingles I believe. The windows have already arrived so I hope the house gets weather proof quick so it can start drying out.<br />
Here's a few pics from today:<br />

I hope you all are enjoying the holidays with your family and friends!<br />
<br />
As for us we rushed to the mall today to get our girl's holiday pictures taken. Afterward they went to visit Santa. We had just enough time after that to drive to the property and see the newly delivered trusses. They were put up on the top of the house but haven't been installed yet. The entire second floor has been framed though which was amazing!<br />
<br />
Here is what we saw today:<br />

We went out today and were surprised to see so much done! Before they framed the walls, it seemed like our house pad was so small. We were worried our house would be tiny, but now that the walls are up the rooms are way bigger on the inside. It was fun to walk through our downstairs and look out our windows and visualize where our furniture will be. It's definitely beginning to look like a house now! What a great Christmas present!<br />
This post is mostly about pictures, since that's why everyone reads these blogs anyways. ;)<br />

Even though not much has happened since my last post, I couldn't help but post a couple of pictures now. We went out to the property on Saturday to find a WALL! It was very exciting to be able to stand there and look out the window, and see our view. The whole back wall was assembled too but not put up yet. It had snowed a little last week so I think that is slowing down the construction. It's supposed to snow on and off for the next week and a half too. Adair had told us it takes two weeks to frame the whole house, Tuesday will be the beginning of week two. So, I highly doubt the rest will be finished in a week. Thank you very much snow! But we are still very happy to see the progress!<br />

I must say I was quite annoyed when I saw this sight. We have to do the cleanup on the lot and the workers are supposed to toss the stuff to the side for us to pick up. But really? In a puddle? They couldn't find a dry spot to throw the stuff? So now we have to go buy rainboots so we can pick up this mess. Thanks guys! :/</div>

It was supposed to start yesterday but they had to stop because of rain. The past few days the plumber went out and did the rough-in plumbing and it was inspected and passed. When we went out today we were really hoping to see some walls up but even though there were none it was still exciting. We were able to see the room lines for the downstairs den, dining room, kitchen and half bath. Here are some pics:<br />

We might head out there this weekend to see the progress that has been made and if we do I'll be sure to get more pics. We are also on a hunt for tile for the front entryway, bathrooms and laundry room. So far Home Depot has the best prices and they also have a military discount. When we make our decision I will post a sample of the tile.</div>

Our floor joists are in! Now we are waiting for the plumber to come sometime in the next couple of days to do the rough-in plumbing. After that is complete the pipes must be inspected then the framing will begin at the end of this week.<br />
The last few days it has poured down rain. We went out to the lot the other day to fix a broken temporary power pole and discovered our housepad was completely underwater! The entire inside of the foundation was filled with water as well. On the hillside it sounded like a waterfall was flowing onto our lot. This just solidifies our decision/NEED to put in french drains. We have a storm drain that runs across the end of our easement where our driveway will be, and it was completely plugged up and not draining. I had to call the city to come and have it cleaned out. <br />
My mom went out to our property today and snapped these three pics of the floor joists and the remaining water.<br />

Sorry for the long wait. Our foundation was supposed to be done before Thanksgiving but for various reasons it was not. So, it was poured on Monday and we just got the chance to get out there today to see it all done. We currently live about 35 minutes away from the lot so it's not easy to get out there a lot. We had to go back to the Adair office anyways today because we got a call from Jill at Adair that our carpet we had chosen was no longer available, and we needed to come in and choose another. We ended up going with one that was a shade or two darker than the original we had chosen. We are also looking into the costs of adding a second window in the living room, like in the 2432 virtual tour with the white kitchen. The second window makes the living room seem more open and bright. We'll find out the pricing by Friday probably. As far as the foundation, they poured the garage pad as well, it looked really fresh, maybe from this morning.<br />
The next step is getting the floor joists in and the rough in plumbing then inspection on all that, THEN the framing can begin. Chris the construction manager said that the guys will probably be out there on Friday to do the floor or Monday depending on when they finish another job on the coast.<br />
We have decided that it will be necessary to install french drains around the house and maybe along the edge of the property that the hill is on. There is a lot of runoff from construction up on the hillside. A neighbor was telling us that it was flooding his backyard. So we are going to try to be proactive and stop it before it can begin. More on this later... Now for the pics!<br />

Afterward, Kevin, the girls and I headed out to the lot to meet with the construction manager Chris to do our final lot inspection before construction begins. We staked out where the house will sit and realized that the excavator excavated the wrong house plan for us. We were wondering why it was so big! Originally we had decided to go with the two story 2432, then we thought because of our budget we would have to change it to the one story 1952, but in the end went with the 2432. Apparently, both of those plans were given to the excavator by Adair and he didn't do a final check before he started to see which one we had decided to go with. Needless to say our bill from him just for the housepad is now nearly double what he originally quoted us! We are not happy about this. Hopefully, between Adair and the excavator something can be worked out. We are not going to pay thousands more for a mistake that wasn't ours.<br />
According to Chris, he can get his guys out there to pour the foundation in about a week and a half. On a side note we decided to push the house back about 3 feet, because the driveway seemed too short the way it was, and we need an adequate amount of space to be able to have a turnaround. <br />
We are very excited to finally be at this point. Here are a couple pictures I snapped today. One is of the temporary power pole all hooked up and electrified :) and the others are the stakes for the final position of the house and of course the wonderful building permits! The next post will be pics of the foundation, woohoo!!<br />

We called for our second utility locate and they came out and marked where everything was. So, we decided the best spot for the temp power pole was right by the street, since the power company said it couldn't be more than 10 feet from the street. We have an easement, so the construction crew will have to run extension cords down the driveway to get power from the pole.<br />
Yesterday we went out to the lot, Kevin and my dad put in the temp power pole. We had to go to Home Depot and buy underground conduit and an 8 ft grounding rod. It took a couple of hours for them to dig the post hole 24 in deep, set the pole, dig a trench to the electrical box (don't know its proper name) and hammer in the grounding rod all the way. It also looked like the excavator Frank was done with the house pad. It's bigger than the actual footprint of the house, so I am assuming that is for extra ground support? I will be calling the City today and leaving a message for them to come and inspect the pole, once they approve it, I will get the power company back out there to hook it up. Then we can meet with Adair to get everything inspected and get the construction ready to go!<br />
Here's a few pics!<br />

Of course they didn't know where to put it. Hopefully, we will have this figured out and the temp pole will be in by the end of the week or this weekend.<br />
The excavator has not finished with the lot yet, it looked like he had taken the day off, all of the equipment was there but no workers. There were piles of shale still needed to be spread out on the pad.<br />
It was exciting to see the size of the house in person. My daughter and I had a fun time running around the pad while Kevin dealt with the power company.<br />

This one is showing the end of the driveway, that leads to the street. They cut a little extra on the side for a parking area. Which was a nice surprise since we didn't ask them to.<br />

The whole pad, and an awesome boulder that they unearthed. We may use that for landscaping later on. :)Kaseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15477477813122944223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963496440842032983.post-90097338174558436022012-10-11T20:29:00.000-07:002012-10-11T20:29:10.738-07:00Excavation! Our loan funded, so I raced down to the Adair office, picked up the plans and took them to the city. I thought we would have to pay something up front, but apparently you pay after they are done going over them. They said it would be two weeks until our building permits are ready, and that was on October 3.<br />
In the meantime, we scheduled our excavation guy Frank to come and cut the pad for the house. He started it today and when we dropped by there was a truck driving away from our lot filled with dirt. Which got us excited. As we approached closer we saw another truck parked on the side of the street waiting to be filled. Then as we came down our driveway we saw yet another truck currently being filled by a backhoe. He was making good time, and obviously had a lot of experience with the equipment. He had started with where the driveway will be and then started working on the actual pad where the house will sit. I doubt he was able to finish today since he needs to add two feet of Shale rock and compact it on the pad, due to our clay type soil. We only stayed for a couple of minutes, because we didn't want to interrupt the work, but I was able to snap a pic.<br />
<br />

This is taken with our backs to the street, looking straight at the property. The backhoe is hiding behind the big truck.<br />

On Tuesday we are meeting with the electric company so they can mark where they want the temp power pole. We were able to borrow one for free from a local electrician that my dad, who is also an electrician knows. So we are going to go pick up the pole on Monday. Hopefully, it will be installed sometime next week. At that point we have to call the city to have it inspected, once they put their magic green sticker on it, the electric company can hook it up. After the pad and the temp electric are in place, I will be scheduling a site visit with Chris the construction manager at Adair. If everything looks good to him, he will get us on the construction schedule right away!<br />
I can't tell you how exciting it was to see actual movement on the lot today. Our dreams of building our home are actually becoming real now!<br />
When we meet with the electric company next week I will take better pictures of the completed ( I hope) pad.Kaseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15477477813122944223noreply@blogger.com0
