We're building a home in Stewartville, MN with Radcliffe Homes, a local Stewartville business. Bob, our project manager, has been great to work with. Even when we have run into little snags (and I truly mean little), he's quick to answer our questions and talk us through the process.
Brent and I have been doing a lot more shopping for interior finishes for the house and I'm so grateful we work so well together. These appointments could be long, drawn out, crabby, and overwhelming, but instead they are fun and we have rarely had a hard time coming to a mutual decision! We've worked with wonderful consultants at several local businesses who have been so helpful and I recommend them all.
- Ferguson Plumbing - Tracy is awesome
- Hutchinson Cabinets - Kyle and his team make the cabinets right on site in their small shop
- Tile Superstore and More - Wanda was SO helpful in weeding through the MANY choices
- Northern Lights and Furnishings - We had the pleasure of working with Greg, the owner, and he was wonderful. He even got us a bid within 24 hours!
Currently, everything that goes on behind the walls is being installed: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, sliding doors. Then comes insulation to keep a Minnesota home nice and toasty:)
Without further adieu, pictures from last weekend...

We don't have an official move in date yet, but Bob is telling us late February/March 1. It's really hard to believe this will actually be our home, but I'm sure we'll settle in with no problem once it's ready:)
In the mean time, Brent's parents have welcomed us into their home and I think I can safely say that we've all adjusted to our "new normal".

| They're all enjoying their time together:) |
Looks like everything is coming along nicely. Cant wait to see more as the finishing work is done.
