Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.

– Psalm 127:1

SETTLEMENT

We are truly blessed. All good things come from above, and we are thankful for our beautiful new home.

Today, we closed and received the keys! We used an outside lender and had a double close on our previous home and our new home. We used Hometown Bank in Kent, Ohio and we recommend them to anyone in the area. We used NVR Title for the new house and no problems there. A lot of planning went into making the double close and single move work for us, but again, we were blessed!

A couple pictures are below, but we also added all the pictures to the Options page- check it out for more!

Many of you reading this are probably beginning the process or are underway– to those folks, good luck and enjoy the ride! We hope this blog helps you in some small way during the process. Feel free to comment or send a message if you would like to see images of specific options or have any questions we may be able to answer. We’ll add more pictures and an update after we get settled in and decorated.

While adding the finishing touches to a painting may appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose..

WEEK TWELVE

It was so exciting to have our final walkthrough today; the house looks beautiful! We are anxious for closing and our move next week. This process has been an emotional roller coaster, but such a blessing to be a part of. We can’t thank Jenn, Joey and Clayton from Ryan Homes enough for dealing with all of the ups and downs with us along the way.

There are a few items that will be wrapped up but the build is complete. Last week they wrapped up odds and ends, cleaned the house, completed the grading and had the third party inspection. Next week is a busy one for us with closing our current home, our new home and of course the big move. It’s been a wild ride but the end is near!

House is complete!

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

WEEK ELEVEN

Representing with a baseball theme this week since it’s MLB All Star week in CLE, but we chose this quote for Joey, Jenn and the whole Ryan Homes crew who worked hard and proved they could pull together a beautiful home! As amazing as it is to watch, doubts do creep in through the process, particularly if you let negative stories or reviews darken your outlook. But absolutely everyone we’ve met or worked with through the process has been friendly and helpful and seeing things almost completed, we are beyond happy with our home.

It’s been fun to see the finishes come together this week. The electric was finished, plumbing finished, fireplace was finished and tested, carpet installed, appliances delivered and installed and cleanup has begun. Plus, some of the odds and ends were tied up; the broken window and the damaged cabinet were replaced and installed and sanding, painting and patching continued on the walls and trim both exterior and interior. Next week, the final odds and ends and cleaning will finish up before we do our walkthrough the following Monday.
