Winter home update

We drove down to Casa Grande today to do our pre-drywall tour of our future winter home at Robson Ranch. It was a two and one half hour drive but we arrived early enough to stop at the dog park to let KoKo run for a bit but she was still wired during our tour.
We met the construction superintendent at the house and he spent an hour or so showing us around and explaining the work that has been completed, verifying that the options we want were roughed in and answering our questions. Todd (the construction super), is a long time employee at Robson and he put our minds at ease knowing he is watching over the project by showing us the quality he expects to deliver when the house is finished.

The windows are in and the exterior is being prepped for the stucco finish. 

The tile is on the roof but not installed yet. This window is in the guest room, the front entrance is to the right of the ladder.

The back of the house and our patio.

These windows are for the master bedroom.

Standing in the garage looking at the entrance into the laundry room, Sandy was recording video while John took the stills.

From the laundry room this looks down the hall into the master bedroom. The first room on the right is the den, the great-room is to the left.

The den.

Inside the master bedroom, Sandy is in the master bath. All of the electrical and plumbing has been roughed in.

Looking from the great-room, this is the front foyer; the entrance into the guest area is to the right and a powder room is on the left.

Standing inside the guest room looking into the guest bathroom, the tub is in place.

The foyer is to the left and the kitchen is to the right of the foyer, the kitchen island is roughed in. The dinning room area is to the right in this image.

Standing in the kitchen looking at the great-room, the master suite is in the background.

The furnace and ductwork are in the attic.

These green and blue tubes are in the base of the exterior walls they are part of a system that will spray pest control substances inside the walls.

We stopped at the sales office to speak with Adela (our sales person), and she made herself available to answer our questions so it was a very productive day for us. The estimated completion date has moved up to the end of June so we are looking at our schedule for June and July to see when we can get down here to close and move some things in; Sandy’s father will celebrate his 89th birthday early in July so we will be in Wisconsin for that. It is exciting to see this all coming together so it’s a little disappointing that we won’t see it again until it is finished.

Winter home update

Yesterday we received an update about our winter home construction, seems they are about a week ahead of schedule already. We will drive back to do a walk through inspection after they rough in the plumbing and electric but before the dry wall goes on; that should be around April 20th.  We had our sales person take some photos for us.

 

The roof trusses are up and some of the roof is on now. This is the west wall, the large window is for the den and the small high one is the master bathroom.

 

The garage faces north, the door in the rear of the garage enters the laundry room.

 

From left: the window looks into the guest suite, the front door looking through the great room to the back of the house, the small garage door is for a golf cart.

 

The east wall; the small high window is the guest bathroom and the large window near the back of the house is the dining area.

 

Inside the great room, the arched doorway to the right is the front entryway. To the left (behind the sheet of plywood), is the master walk-in closet, at extreme left part of the master bath window is visible and to the right of the plywood is the den, it’s window is visible.

 

The rear patio with a patio door into the dining area of the great room and a window that also looks into the great room. The roof appears to be well underway.
