The Plans

We are officially in the process of finalizing our house plans! We've been working with a great firm called Walker Home Design. They specialize in building more affordable homes with less material waste, so we are super happy we discovered them.

Below are the computer renderings of the house and floor plan. Its a little bigger than we wanted but the regulations on the lot stated that our main floor had to be a minimum of 1200 sq ft. Regardless, we love the layout and design and are so excited to be getting closer to the construction phase!

That's One Big Hole

Today we got our excavation hole dug. Not gonna lie, I've been a nervous wreck, but there's no turning back now! We had to make a few last-minute changes, one of which was changing the basement walls to be 9 feet instead of 8. Our lot is so low that they needed to be able to dig down more rather than bring in a ton of extra dirt/rock. We will still have to bring in a lot of fill dirt to build up the land but thats a lot easier than trying to bring in seismic rock to build up the foundation. We're also hoping to change the way the walkout basement works since it most likely wont need as many steps as the original plan called for.

Once those two things are done we'll be able to let out a huge sigh of relief. These two big steps had a lot of unknowns for us and were a little out of our realm. Luckily, ...

Excuse me while I drool…

We got our exterior finished this week and I can’t stop drooling over it! It’s even more beautiful than I imagined. It makes such a difference to have all these finishing touches on and to see it all put together. Big shout-out to Stuccoworks II for the incredible job on the exterior. I literally sent them a mockup of what I wanted it to look like and they completely nailed it. It was so great working with them and trusting them with the exterior so we could focus on the inside of the house. Pat has been working his tail off hanging drywall for the last 3 weeks and just got his inspection passed! We still have to tape, mud, and texture, but I’d say the hardest part is done. We got our furnace and fireplace up and running, electricity hooked up, and garage doors installed all this week so its been really exciting to see things moving along. Our move-in deadline is the first week of March. Its still a pretty steep deadline but hopefully we can keep plugging away at all the od...

Welcome to House of Hooley!

As we start our journey of building our dream home we wanted to chronicle the good, the bad, and the ugly. We invite you to join us on the ride of our lives as we start the process. Here we will give weekly updates, add pictures, and even ask for opinions on decisions we have to make, as there will be many and we are open to any/all advice and input. So sit back, kick up your feet, and let us do all the hard work.  With love, The Hooley's
