Building Our Oakmont: A Month (or two) of Projects in iPhone Pics
http://oakmontatmajestichills.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-month-or-two-of-projects-in-iphone.html
Thursday, November 21, 2013. A Month (or two) of Projects in iPhone Pics. Yeah, so, just over two months in our Oakmont and slowly.very sloooooowwwwwllly, things are getting done. At first, my husband was against painting before the 10-month inspection and expected drywall patching but then he also couldn't stand the antique white FLAT paint in this house. It is just awful, especially with kids. They just breathe on it and immediately a grease-stain appears that is impossible to wipe off. We also did gre...

Building Our Oakmont: June 2013
http://oakmontatmajestichills.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 29, 2013. And the work begins! In June we had our pre-construction meeting with our Project Manager, Dave. He seems very competent, very easy to talk to and very calm.all qualities I appreciate in the man directing the building of your home. The view from the back of our house - a view that soon will never be again, ha ha. Framing was supposed to start this past week but we had severe thunderstorms every day. Ergh. The mandated egress window in the basement. Looking at the basement layout.

Building Our Oakmont: Landscaping Done!
http://oakmontatmajestichills.blogspot.com/2013/09/landscaping-done.html
Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Okay, I know I said no more pictures until walk through but my husband stopped by today after our PM told us yesterday that the landscaping was done. Drumroll. Can you find BOTH trees? The angle above really shows how much front/side yard we have since our house is turned on an angle to face the cul-de-sac. I had never realized how far over our property extended when it was all just rock. This is a good chunk more than I ever imagined. Yay! 5 days to close. I think it was mor...

Building Our Oakmont: August 2013
http://oakmontatmajestichills.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 31, 2013. Tile Update; Cabinets, Counters In. As I arrived at our house late Wednesday evening to compare the sample master bath floor tile from Rusmur to what was installed, I was rather shocked to see the cabinets and counter tops were all in! Espresso cabinets - butter rum granite (it's laminate; don't be fooled by the name, LOL) counter tops. Pass through from morning room into kitchen. Somehow I had forgotten if I had a single or double bowl sink. LOL. It's been a long summer. So, s...

Building Our Oakmont: July 2013
http://oakmontatmajestichills.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. While a lot has been going on inside, I haven't posted because I don't have any great inside pictures. I tried on Sunday but workers were inside.I unexpectedly got inside today, but didn't have my camera with me. Unfortunately, I didn't even have my phone on me while inside because it unknowingly to me had fallen out of my purse in the car so the only shot I got was on the way out:. Lots of stuff happening inside, I swear! Sigh I love it. Friday, July 26, 2013. Roofers doing their...

Building Our Oakmont: September 2013
http://oakmontatmajestichills.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 30, 2013. 2 weeks since close. Holy cow, do we have some crap. After our initial move in and 4 pod emptying, I was lulled into a sense of semi-organization because we had a scheduled weekend trip the first Friday/Saturday after close so we waited until the SECOND weekend in the new house to empty our two big storage units. As in the units we filled in April and May when we put our old house on the market. Let me make clear that we are overwhelmingly satisfied and happy with our build, t...

Building Our Oakmont: 8 Days & Counting
http://oakmontatmajestichills.blogspot.com/2013/09/8-days-counting.html
Saturday, September 7, 2013. 8 Days and Counting. We took the girls (and our friends) to see the house today. We got about 5 minutes inside before a dry wall contractor showed up (at 6:30pm on a Saturday) to finish sanding. They said painting was to start Monday. Our 2-and-a-half-year-old going up the stairs for the first time. We love this stone detail on top of the garage. Powder room fixtures - they are nicer than I expected, honestly. Laundry room, off of kitchen. Our oven was in the kitchen finally,...
