Our Home!

Okay, so it looks a lot like dirt... and then some wood... and then it's starting to resemble a house.

Our house is located in the 12 South neighborhood in Nashville. Dave is super pumped about the neighborhood, and I'm pumped about the neighborhood. 12 South is up and coming which makes me slightly nervous. Our builder tore down an old apartment building (I'm guessing it had 2-4 units) and is now building our house in its place. Many builders have been doing the same thing in this neighborhood for the last 2.5-3 years. The great thing about 12 South is we can walk to gluten free pizza, gluten free beer, and gluten free hamburger buns. There are also two coffee shops, a wine shop, a cheese shop, other restaurants and a park within walking distance. It will be really awesome. The neighborhood also holds movies in the park, a weekly farmers market, and a running group! It's pretty cool.

The house should be finished by October 1. We just got a note on Friday that they have finished drywall! The house is craftsman style, which I love (thanks HGTV!). It is 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, a bonus room, covered deck, fenced in backyard, and 2658 square feet. We are excited to host out of town guests beginning in October!

Here are the pictures I've taken so far...
