Edge + Builder = So Grateful

We went on Saturday (of course) to see our house.  They still don't have the rock up.  We are a little sad about that, but we understand that they have a system.  Plus, everything else has been amazing.  Even though no extra work on the outside has been done, there has been plenty of work on the inside.  The shelving in all of the closets and pantry and laundry room have been done.  They look really good too.  We are very pleased with how they turned out.  We especially love our closet.  There are shelves and shelves of space in there.  It look awesome.  The pantry has a lot of space as well.  With the shelving put in there, it makes it look bigger than I remember.

All of our doors and closet doors have also been put in.  They look really great and fit perfectly with the arts and crafts styling that we are going for.
The doors all look like this.

The railing had also been completed.  It really helps it feel like a real house.  It is no longer just a hole in our floor.  We have something else added in that we got to pick.  The railing is a light color now, but it will be stained to match our cabinets.

All of the base and casing, Chris told me that is what it was called, has been finished too.  Side Note: That is something else about the house that I didn't know it was called.  I knew baseboards, but not the official name for both.  The baseboards look perfect, and the casing around all of the doors is so beautiful.  I think that it is my favorite part of the inside so far.  I love the big tops and smaller sides.  It is such a polished look.  The windows will have the casing around them too.  They forget to add that part when they did everything else.  But after a quick phone call, it will get taken care of today.

The head contractor, Wade, of Edge Homes is great.  That is something that we are so grateful to have.  We had a meeting with him at the start of this process and he gave us his business card and told us to call him if we had any questions at all through out this process.  We have stayed quiet so far because we have been thrilled with everything that they have done.  Not one thing has gone wrong, and we are grateful for that.  Since he is overlooking 30 homes at a time, I am sure he gets a ton of phone calls everyday from home buyers telling him that something else is not right and it needs to get fixed.  So I felt bad calling him about the casing on the windows, but it needed to be done.  It was something that needed to be addressed and brought to his attention.  He was glad that I called and was going to call the carpenters after we got off the phone.  It is going to get fixed today before they start painting.  He is the nicest guy and we are so blessed to be building with him.  Thanks to everyone at Edge.  You are all amazing!
