ReplyDeleteWOWWY WOW WOW WOW! That is AWESOME!!! Your house continues to amaze me!! I love the view out of the foyer window! =)
ReplyDeleteYou guys stay safe and dry!
I love how big your house will be :) and all the nice things in it already! Can't wait to see it all completed :)
ReplyDeleteHow did you guys do with the hurricane? I hope everything is fine.
Thanks all.
ReplyDeleteHurricane Update: Went down yesterday and checked everything out. Horrible errosion outside, but no house damange outside or inside and no water in the basement...whew...glad that is over with...Earthquake and Hurricane in the same week...too much to deal with!!!
I just have to echo everyone's wows! It's gorgeous and looks like a mansion. I can only dream of having a house like this one day! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSuper Duper WOW!!!! We have said it once, maybe twice, but it is worth repeating...your house is the "Mac Daddy" of all houses. It is so beautiful. You have thought of everything. We soooooo very much love the layout of your house and now that we are getting to see more of the details, it is just amazing. Glad to hear that the house was not affected by the quake or hurricane. As we watch the coverage on the TV we prayed for everyone's safety and we hoped that nobody was affected.
ReplyDeleteIf you can, can you either post or send us more pictures of your walkout. We are really upset that RH was not willing to work with us and now we plan to add it to the "To Do List" after closing...maybe not right away, but we were interested to see how your walkout looks...it may help us during the planning process. Thanks!!!
Thanks all...
ReplyDelete@HW - Right back at ya...you have one beautiful home as well and your lot with those trees is to die for!!! Will get you a set of detailed pictures of the walkout...it's suprising to hear that RH wouldn't work with you on it since it is definitely not tough to do when building a house from scratch...anything you specifically want pictures of or have questions about...one thing you can see from our pictures is what appear to be double doors...it is actually one fixed panel and one door. We are okay with that but would have prefered if both opened up so you would have the full width of the opening...if we find it to be a pain in the future we could switch it out.
I love it! Okay no thats not good enough! I LOVE ITTTTTTTT!!!!!! lol...Its looks so good BD! I mean I am trully happy for you and your wifey! :)
ReplyDeleteThe pics of the bar, made me wish we had really gotten this added. Your's looks great! The walkout goes perfect with it! I know this will be the center of entainment.
We didn't push RH hard enough for the walk-out and now we regret it. We brought it up to the Sales Rep, who indicated that it had something to do with the grading. However, when we recently brought it up to the PM, he indicated that it would have been possible. We should have brought it up to the PM sooner. It is going to cost us so much more to do it on our own; however, we really want it. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYour home is looking absolutely fabulous, the layout is fantastic. The master bath looks so regal, love the vanity selection. Must feel great to be so close to completion. That's a lot of house to decorate, good luck and have fun with that phase :).
