Closing this chapter and final pics of the house

Life has been hectic to say the least. Without going into too many details that I will probably turn into a blog, we have decided to start trying for another baby, while raising a toddler, dealing with daily life and of course building our dream home. Speaking of home, we made a major decision to stop building The Carolina Place with Ryan homes and start building a Belina with Mid-Atlantic Builders.

This all started on Oct 7^th 2017 when we were going to check on our progress of the Carolina Place and when we got to our neighborhood we saw that Mid-Atlantic had released a new Ranch level! Well I can never leave well enough alone, and I went online to check out the floorplan and fell in love. This plan had everything we thought the Carolina Place was missing. Unfortunately, there was no model we could see since they had not built this house yet anywhere, so we had to use our imaginations.

We needed to decide quickly because since we live with my in-laws it was going to be hard to tell them we were starting over and would not be moving out in December as planned. (Check out my post https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4491680824014989665#editor/target=post;postID=4402920691979384408;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=4;src=postname for a refresher on our moving story and how we ended up at my in-laws) Over that weekend I did a 3D rendering in my architect program to get an idea of how the house would look. As of Oct 17^th, 2017, we were no longer building with Ryan, they were great, and I have nothing against them at all. We did lose our $25,000 that we had put down on the house but that was expected.

The Ryan home came out beautiful they ended up keeping all the finishes we originally chose with the exception of the second bathroom tile and finishing the basement, they only kept the rec room which we had gotten on promo. Below are pics of the final house, they sold the house for $499k which is almost 100k less than what we were purchasing it for. Overall, I am happy and I hope a family really enjoys that house and that’s it for that chapter in our lives.
