Good News


One of my neighbours took this pic for me today and it looks like the backlot is filled AND they've started to put in the pipes as well. This is a great sign! I'm hoping framing will start next week...




More News...

I received my official notice of delay today from Mattamy. My new closing date is April 29. At least it was what I was expecting so no shock there. Hopefully it stays that way and I don't get delayed again...that's my plan! (I think I hear God laughing! lol...)

On the actual house front though, I hear that my lot has been backfilled so I'm hoping that means that framing should be taking place in the VERY near future. Winter is quickly dawning on us so if they're going to be on track, I think they'll start framing sooner than later.

FINGERS CROSSED!!

Mattamy U Review.

So I had my Mattamy U tonight and I must say I had a lot of FUN! I got to meet plenty of my neighbours from the buildinghomes.ca website, and it's great because everyone seemed really cool. Also the Mattamy presentation was pretty informative and gave us a nice idea of what to expect and the process and a breakdown of some of the events that will be coming up during the coming months. They also provided a handbook 'reference guide' which I made notes galore in. All in all, well done Mattamy!

They did say that they are trying to get the framing and windows in before winter so maybe there will be some crazy work done in the next few weeks..here's hoping!!!

Foundation Updates


This is the latest picture of my foundation. I was actually mistaken at the first foundation post because of a misplaced form, but now that everything has been taken down, I can see much clearer. I've labelled the few places that I can kinda make out with this new foundation and the foundation had been insulated! Here's hoping that they start framing soon enough.
Mattamy U is this Wednesday so I'm hoping that they'll specify when they intend to start and just what we can expect from this whole process.

Going Back to Uni...Kinda..

I officially got my Mattamy University invite today! YAAAAAAAY!! Mattamy University is this program that Mattamy has where you have a chance to meet your builders and your neighbours and get information about your home and the building process. It'll be kinda cool because some of my neighbours and I have already been in contact through buildinghomes.ca so it'll be nice to put faces to the names. I like THIS kind of university..two hours instead of four years and the final is great!! I'll take it! lol..

The session is set for Wed, November 18 from 7-9pm ...knowing Mattamy's reputation, I wonder if it'll be delayed. HA HA HA! :)
