UPdate

 We went on vacation the end of July.  When we got back we kinda forgot to update…. I will start off slowly so you aren't overwhelmed with all the happening with the house.

Just before we left for vacation, the plumbing was completed.  We also had the central air system installed.  I was a bit surprised they do not create floorplans to include the HVAC system.  They cut into closet space and walls to create a way for the vents to get to their intended rooms.  I always thought floorplans were created with spots of the HVAC.  When we got back from vacation, the electrical was complete, and they were starting on the siding.  About a week after the siding was done, the exterior wall insulation was in.  We had to wait about a week for inspections.  During this time Brandon and I installed some sound proofing insulation in the media room, and some normal insulation in bathroom walls to keep the sound down.  It turned into a big job.  Also, we wired the media and family rooms for speakers.  We may never get the speakers installed, (haha) but we at least have the option for later.  Once the drywall went up, it started looking like a home.  We could see how much space we have, and picture the house finished.   

We did have a little problem.  We were originally told we could choose where the AC unit was placed (we had to get the ac unit because we upgraded to the HVAC/energy package.  We will never use the AC unless this whole global warming is an actual thing).  We noticed the AC wiring was installed on the north side of the home, near the front where everyone could see it.  Kind of an eyesore.  We asked to have it moved further back to the other side of the dining room windows.  Well, nothing happened for about a month.  2 days before the drywall went up we realized the electrician had been out, and he moved the wires only 2 feet back, and still on the wrong side of the windows. Brandon called Adair and finally got a response when the drywall was being installed.  We were told it was too late to move it.  Not what I wanted to hear – especially since we had given them 5 weeks to fix it.  We finally came to a solution.  We had to once again compromise.  I am a little tired of Adair telling us we have to compromise.  They didn’t do much compromising when I asked to extend the hall closet and move a wall so there was no random alcove in the master bedroom.  *sigh*  

I will give another portion of the update later this weekend.  So much has happened, and we have been so busy.  That is part of the reason we haven't been able to keep the blog updated.  Sorry, no pics this time.  I'm saving those for later....
