Inside is taking shape...slowly

Some cabinets have been added...

Now things are really taking shape!

Here's the beginning of the master bath.

Above we have a quick peek at the beginnings of the kitchen.

Stone is done!!!

The title of the blog says it all...enjoy!

Putting on the makeup!

The finishing touches on the front elevation is underway...namely the stone. This process is going relatively smoothly however, I do have some issues with some corner pieces...I'll let you know how that turned out.

The Dryall is up! Moving day is approximately 8 weeks away. It's exciting to see the unique structure begin to take it's unique shape. Take a look at the following pics: backview of entry way, kitchen and foyer.

Where's my Window? I want my Window!!!

Alright folks I know that I've been away for quite some time...you know the drill...work, life, birthdays, etc. have gotten in the way. However, I'm going to try my best to catch you up.

Ok, I need to go back a few weeks when KB seemed to forget about an updgraded window.














Ahhh, the joys of non-custom homebuilding :)~ At any rate, after reviewing contracts and several phone calls we finally get the window but low and behold it's not the right size!! Therefore, you know the drill, more phone calls and emails rom G. Moody!










Alas, we get the new window! Of course the siding is destroyed and one of the windows is already broken but we have the extra window nonetheless.

WEEK THREE OF CONSTRUCTION!!!

Wow, what a difference a week makes!











Well, not only was the framing of the second floor finished but now the shingles are being placed on the roof (that was on yesterday...who knows what the Hell was finished today).
















At any rate, the frame is close to completion and the wiring and first inspection should be coming up shortly after Thanksgiving. Here are some pics below...enjoy!!

WEEK TWO!!

Hey Folks!

I hope everyone is doing well. OK, so we just finished week two of construction. Unfortnately, I barely had an opportunity to go out and take pics. Nonetheless, there's plenty of excitement because the frame of not only the first floor but the second floor as well is underway. Please enjoy the pics and I'll dial back in later this week to discuss some of my findings this week related to the retail development in the area.

Wishing you all a Wonderful Week

Hello and welcome to my blog!!

Today completes the first week of construction on my new home. I hope that you all will follow me through my process of building a new Martha Stewart home in Atlanta, GA (Fairburn, GA - 15 minutes outside of the city).

Before we get started on this journey I would like to give you a little background on the new homebuilding concept involving Martha Stewart and KB Home (KB). KB partnered with leading lifestyle expert Martha Stewart to create high-quality homes inspired by her very own homes in New York, Connecticut and Maine. The first community is being built in N.C. with the second outside of Atlanta. The subsequent communities are planned for suburbs of Houston and L.A. If you like, take a look at the official builder's website www.kbhome.com/martha/.

Now, on to my process. From the first viewing of the model homes in Hampton Oaks (Martha's Atlanta community) you're hooked!

The attention to details and decorative appointments are impeccable and tastefully exceed other builder's cookie cutter floorplans and models. Now, the only thing to dilute the euphoria induced by the model homes is the horror of the upgrade process!!!

Enjoy the week one construction pics and I'll see you next time!
