Building With Bay West Homes

The journey of building a new house...

Friday, August 31, 2001

It's been a while since I've posted, cause we're trying to get caught up to present day. Things have been very busy for us lately, so please accept our apologies for the delay! We're getting married on December 1st of this year, which is exactly 3 months away as of tomorrow. Yikes! Everything is so exciting, but it's kinda hectic every now and then. :-) Thanks for your patience!

Jason mentioned the blueprint review a few days ago, and I just wanted to post my thoughts on it. It was 3 hours long, which is awesome, cause that means it was incredibly thorough. We have all (for the moment anyway) the interior and exterior wiring on the blueprint, along with a few structural changes, and other assorted changes. It's so exciting to actually see the physical blueprint, cause that means stuff is getting done! We asked Jeff, the Operations Manager at BayWest (a great guy - very friendly and helpful) when we should expect digging to start and he assured us that early this upcoming week, we should have a hold on our property! Of course when that day happens, you'll see pictures and everything up here!



From what we've been told, our update blueprints will be ready by Sunday, which is our "usual" day to stop by the show home, and then the real fun starts, cause we have to go start meeting with all the different companies to get colours, cupboards, flooring, countertops, appliances...and the list goes on...sorted out. I'm really looking forward to this process. It's the first time I've ever built a home (I've lived in the same house my whole life!), and because we're building this house together, it's that much more exciting!

There's still a long haul ahead, but we'll be sure to keep you updated as we go along, learning all about what building a home is all about!
