Our new house

Well today was the day we go our first official walkthrough of the new house we are building in the Northern Meadows area of Rio Rancho.

The house is being built by Raylee Homes and it is a model called "The Trap". Let's hope that the name is not an ominous premonition.
The house is about 2600 sq ft, 2-storey detached house in a cul-de sac.. It has 4 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms and we have chosen lots of nice upgrades so it is going to be nice once it is completed. It is the first house in the street to be built so we are sitting with dirt all around us as the moment. Hopefully that won't last too long.

We have had a number of frustrations with the process so far, so it nice to see that we are getting closer to finishing. We heard today that the house should be ready for move in late in June or early July.

The house has now got all the framing completed, all the electrical cable install and plumbing is also now done so we had to check that everything was as we had planned. We are glad to be able to say that all is well so far so it is on to completion now. The next steps are the sheetrock (drywall) of the inside followed by the stucco outside. Once this is done the interior finish and exterior work such as front landscaping driveway etc. get going simultaneously.

Let's hope that all go smoothly from now on !
