This weekend we went WAY the hell out to Valrico to look at models for our builder. The house my mom is building has a model out there, and she just had to see it again. Jim and I tagged along to see the other models and compare cabinets and flooring. It’s nice to see it in a “real” house versus the little sample at the design center.

We also went poking around in a framed floorplan of our house. The last time we were there, it was all framed, but the stairs weren’t done, so I only saw the downstairs. This time we got to go upstairs. I love it! It was really cool to see something we’ve only seen on paper. We’ve decided who is getting which room and where we are putting recessed lighting in, and all sorts of things.

After that, we drove to our subdivision and showed Jim the lot, since he hadn’t seen it in person yet (click to see the larger version of the pics):

Yeah, it’s still dirt! The county is so backed up on permits, we won’t get ours for at least 2 months, if not longer.
