Update

It has been a while since the last post and I apologize for that. I was busy with a course at the University of Alberta and we have been busy working on the 'old' house to get it ready for sale.

We recently had a Design Center appointment. Please see the next post for information.

The update for this post is that we have a new sales representative helping us through the building process. We are not too sure of the exact details, but Claudia is no longer an employee of Reid-Built and Joanne is now overseeing all of the paperwork and details regarding the building of our home.

The transition caused some set backs in terms of the time line that we were hoping for.

The biggest issue that we faced was with the extension to the back of the house that we had requested. Initially, we had drawn and agreed to a boot room being built off of the nook in the kitchen. When we met with Joanne to go over the electric blue prints, the boot room was not a room but just an extension of the nook. After making the necessary changes and accepting the associated costs, we moved on to an issue with the downstairs bathroom. We had wanted to develop the bathroom in the basement because the cost to do so was so good. The reason it was so good was that the cost of developing the bathroom had not been included. This was also added. After a few other changes, we are now on the same page as Joanne and things are moving ahead.

The transition was not as smooth as we would have liked, but I think we are in very capable hands and we can move on with the process.

Got a call

We received a call from Claudia today. The contract has been approved. All that is needed now is the second deposit of $9000 and a couple more signatures and away we go.

We are meeting with Claudia on Wednesday to take care of the little bit of paperwork. I am very excited. This is one small step in the whole process, but it is one step closer to a new house.

The papers are signed

On May 17, 2009 after a couple of hours of confirming decisions with the representative from the builder, all of the paperwork was signed with Reid-Built Homes. We have signed off on the start of construction of a 2100+ sq. ft. home called the Lakeport. It is a 2-story four bedroom home with a loft. We think it is absolutely amazing.

The home is being built in the subdivision in Sherwood Park known as Foxboro. Foxboro is one of the older new subdivisions. It is located on the eastern part of Sherwood Park between Wye Road and Baseline just off of Clover Bar Road. This site is the developers website showing all of the features and amenities of the subdivision.

This blog will continue through the building process with updates on how construction is going. Keep checking back for more information.

Signed,
