Princess Lily's New Castle

It's official, work has finally started on our dream house! We are SO excited! Yesterday we went to the design centre and picked out all of our interior finishes, with Lily's help of course. Last week we selected our cabinetry for the kitchen and the week before we selected our exteriors, so now it's all in the builder's hands. We're told we should move in by September 17th but we have our current house until September 28th so as long as they finish by then we'll be happy! Here are some pictures of the progress...

Our lot the day we officially owned it

The main floor floorplan

The second floor floorplan

What our street currently looks like from in front of our lot. The house far off in the distance will be the model home. It's the same design as our house without the modifications to the garage (the original plan's garage is 18'x20', we enlarged ours to 24'x20'). The house in the foreground is on lot 5, we're lot 9.

What the cul de sac looks like from the front of our lot.

Excavation began yesterday! We could hear the backhoe from our house (it's around the corner) so we went down to see.

Lily loved watching the backhoe, she kept clapping and waving her arms. We're going to take a lot of walks over the summer to check out the progress!
