Pinch Me: Mid December 2015 to Early January 2016

    December 9th, our closing day, was an adventure. At the final walk-through we noticed that a portion of the floor that had been previously scratched and re-done, was re-done with the wrong finish. Ryan never missed a…

It is really real: December 2nd 2015

It’s Wednesday, December 2nd and according to Ryan the utilities and HVAC should be “live” today and tomorrow. Orientation is scheduled for Monday. It is really real. The next day, I made the now expected lunch-trip to 411 Bendemeer.…

Let There Be Color!: Mid to Late November 2015

On November 10th, I went out to check on work at the house and saw the stairs! No more construction stairs, but the real thing. And the next day, cabinets were being installed. When I walked in, I nearly jumped up and down! Do you think…

I Need a Bumper Sticker: Early November 2015

It’s MOVEmber! We’ve actually started packing and Ryan has moved (pun intended) into high gear. We have dates! Cabinets go in on the 9th, granite a few days later, and built-in appliances on the 16th. And it’s time to sign an addendum…

The House Goes 3D: Mid to Late September 2015

On September 16th, I drove over to Rolesville on my lunch hour to see if anything was going on at our job site. I did not expect to see the first floor framed in! Walking through it was surreal. Looking at the plans is one dimensional, but when…

Preparing the Site and Making Selections: August/Early September 2015

I had no first-hand experience with building from the ground up. Of course, we had heard nightmare stories from people who had built. But they didn’t have Ryan Perry with ICG Homes as their builder. From seeing his finished homes, we had…

Are We Really Going to Build a House?: May/June/July 2015

Even though I’ve been a Realtor for over 10 years, I was never tempted to move. Oh, I’ve seen many beautiful homes and I’ve (jokingly) told my buyers - “if you don’t buy this… I will.” I didn’t mean it. Until now. Last spring,…
