Move-In Update of our LeHigh by Ryan Homes

37 days in and we have a long way to go. Hope you guys enjoy. If you want to skip the outside walk around then go to the 2:50 marker.

[@suenaiduncan7838]

Congratulations on the blessing of a new home, Black Family!! It's absolutely beautiful. May God keep you all in His favor.

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thank you so much!

[@Theo3OOO]

We're currently building a Lehigh with a finished basement. You guys are doing a great job with the house. It's beautiful.

[@MareRS357]

Love your site!!! You guys are great, you have a great sense of humor. Buying a home is so stressful! Love the size of the bedrooms. Kitchen and living room are very nice. Laughed at the under counter lights! Congratulations and Best Wishes! Your kids were great, I have boys and it’s like you are invading their space. ❤️🙏🏼 Forgot to add love your beds.

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thank you MaryAnn!

I like the owner bedroom and your bedroom furniture is beautiful. I really like it!!! Cool!!!

Thanks so much!

Congratulations on your new home! It is beautiful. I would say be careful with accidentally showing your address and street names. Gotta keep your family safe! Blessings to you and your family.

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks, didn’t even think of that!

[@David-pq6wt]

Beautiful house. My wife and I built a Ballenger in 2019 with Ryan. My wife pushed me into it bc I was nervous and really apprehensive. But the process went good and we have a house we really like and appreciate. In hindsight 2019 was a good time to build in regards to prices an interest rates. I definitely would have waited so glad my wife gave me the kick I needed. We have been in our house 2 years and it just about setup the way we want. It’s fun watching what other people do and getting ideas from them. Really like the layout of the Lehigh and the way you guys are setting it up

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks David. 2019 was a great year to buy! I pressured my wife to get this place in 2021 because by then I could see the writing on the wall. We had been renting for years and would have gotten trapped if we didn’t make the transition when we did.

[@Jin04115]

Congrats. Your house is beautiful. The kitchen is to die for.

[@shanitabenitez]

Congratulations and thank you guys for the video of sharing your beautiful home. Watching your video is such a treat! Our Lehigh will be done in VA in December and we can’t wait.

[@whitneemarie4625]

Hey Roy and family! I just wanted to compliment this video in general! I have been watching new construction videos since I am under contract for my new place, and out of the month worth of videos I have been binge watching, this is by far the best one! I love that you not only tell the good things about the home and the things inside but the negatives as well! Everyone just praise the things they like and I feel I never get the downsides of things to consider so that’s what really made this video stand out for me! I’m proud to say I’m a new Subbie and I look forward to the update videos as you progress. I am one who would really love to see any updates you all do wether minute or large because I realize my new home won’t be fully furnished or updated in a short timeframe after I move in, so it will be nice to see a realistic account of updates and how long it may truly take to get those updates completed! Thank you again and great job on this video! 😊

[@latishawilliams8155]

Congrats to you and your family. Your home is beautiful. Nice job on the furniture. Thanks for the tips.

[@roblingle9825]

We are grateful for your videos! We are building a Lehigh in North Ridgeville Ohio, and like you, we have watched hundreds of videos. We have been waiting on this latest update and found it SUPER informative. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on the new house!!

[@cynthiabaloyi2794]

I’m so impressed with the hard work and obvious pride you have in YOUR house. I LIKE your video. You seem to be having fun getting everything ready. Roy, advantage to outside switches for your office, you never have to walk into or out of a dark room (lol). Hleva, don’t paint the second (side) wall. As you get older, you’ll want a place for family photos (you’ll no longer think it’s cheesy!) 😄

[@hlevanistephen9356]

Thanks Mom for your words of encouragement! Still deciding on what color to paint the accent wall, so the side wall is on the back burner for now. No worries, family photos are definitely not cheesy! I have a great place for them! Stay tuned!

[@arshemoss9576]

Congratulations on the home. Husband and I are looking at this model home. Having real people to give you an idea of the space and everything has been a big help. As my kids are smaller I have to think about how that space will work for us as they grow. Can we see an updated video of the home

[@YBMLlc]

I can see your vision for it, it’s beautiful.

You are so sweet brother!! You don’t know it but you made my not being able to get the wall oven unit and under cabinet lights a lot less painful 😊 The wall oven unit was a huge upgrade and totally out our budget. I was hurt about not having it. Thank you for giving pros and cons. Made me feel like I won’t miss it that much. The KZbin algorithm recommended y’all video and they finally got this one right👍🏿 Y’all have a beautiful home!! TFS😀 New subbie

Look at y'all!! Congrats on the new house and congrats on the developing success of your youtube channel! Keep it up!! Mad potential in new videos every week! Lots of space for projects galore!

[@MeinardoBenitez]

p.s. we just bought a Lehigh also. I'm following to see them future projects, such as building beds. Ikea hacks, Outdoor setup. Staining fence. etc. etc.

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks much Antonio! We’re just looking to help Lehigh owners and showcase the house to friends and family. No aspirations of You Tube Stardom 😀. You are right however, we’ve a ton of projects to share over time.

[@ohthatsfrafra]

Tip: Double up those curtains! Love the house floorplan! Great idea on the sprinkler system with the delay of sod. Good job!

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thank you. My wife agrees! She’s also thinking about adding sheer pieces.

[@jamellakhanworrell904]

Yeah, I feel you. Overall we’re happy, but we’ve been compartmentalizing our issues with the warranty office in order to keep our sanity and just enjoy the “new house” experience.

Love your home!!! Rome wasn’t built in a day. Take your time to furniture it. Your going to be there for awhile, it’s not like you’re renting and have a deadline. Can you share where you bought your master bedroom furniture?

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks much! We’re trying not to become overwhelmed with it all, lol. Bedroom set came from Ashley Furniture.

[@ah4711]

Beautiful home if the can lights are too bright you can swap out the bulbs for lower watts also for the lights under the cabinets. Love the home congrats. I start my new build in August. Thanks for giving the pros and cons.

Congrats to you as well, and thanks for the tips! August will be here in no time. 🎉🎊

Have you thought about installing Bluetooth LED bulbs for the kitchen and living room? I have them throughout my house to control the brightness. Cool feature also is you can change them colors in case you are having a party or trying to set the mood lol

I like the idea of having a water closet separate from the rest of the bathroom.

[@princesskaitlinhazelwood4703]

Man, you like the same beds😂. Your house is beautiful and you did a nice job

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks, they were very cost effective! We just didn’t want to sink a bunch of money into kids rooms right up front. And with them all being more or less the same, they got even cheaper with each build.

[@TwoPeasInAPod]

i love your honest opinion o everything! gives us good perspective

[@raeraem3519]

Congratulations on the move!! Your previous video helped us IMMENSELY, not just with deciding on the model, but also on the upgrades we ended up choosing. We went with the same elevation you guys have cause it's the prettiest! What we have different is the stained oak treads and metal balusters for the stairs. The loft is still a loft and it was one of the reasons we went with the Lehigh we just loved that shared space for our kids. We have the tray ceiling! (Sorry to rub it in lol). We didn't choose the fireplace upgrade. Our master bath is exactly like yours. The kitchen has most of the upgrades you went for, minus the granite and the backsplash. We wanna install the backsplash ourselves. We also have two tones white and bluish grey. We added rough-ins in the dining room, living room, and Master after hearing your advice about how bright the LED lights are. So thank you! We didn't want the arrival center upgrade either. Getting our own halltree. And we decided on leaving the flex space as is just in case we wanted to use it as a formal living room. We also have the finished basement (it is included in our development with one egress window) we just added the rough-ins for a 4th full bathroom downstairs. We didn't get a deck either, btw. We are scheduled for "ground breaking" end of July. So exciting! Thank you all so much for your helpful videos. Keep them coming!

[@lucassmith2249]

How’s yours going?

[@nicolet.rainer1605]

Omggg so beautiful. I’m in the process of building my Lehigh in Virginia! We have predrywall inspection coming next week. I appreciate you giving sizes/measurements of everything. Will share this video with hubby!

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Awesome, hope it helps even just a little bit. Congrats 🍾 🎉 on your Lehigh, I know the excitement is crazy for you guys right now! 😃

[@jaebee75]

This video helps a lot. We have a few differences in our home but the basics are the same. I’m so glad you mentioned the size of the TV in your living room area too. We were thinking 55” and 75/80” for the basement. But looks like 2 of the same size would be best.

[@Roy-lt3eo]

@@jaebee75 Yeah, that 55” got swallowed right up. Also, my sound system is now insufficient in the living room. Because of the 9ft ceilings I need to upgrade my receiver and subwoofer. Nothing for the bass to bounce off of, LoL!

[@jaebee75]

Wow! Hubby watching your video now. So we shall see what he says about the giant TV needed! Thanks again and congratulations to you and your lovely wife and family on the new home!!

[@beverlycollins4283]

If you know what color the builders used for your interior paint that should be easy enough to get a little mixed up at your local paint store. A dab of paint on a good paint brush and do the dry brush method, you will never see those little spots on your walls. I subscribe to a channel called The Fixer, he's really good. I've had a lot of fun following along with him while he completely remodeled and repaired his own house. Congratulations on your new home. It's beautiful.

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks Much! I just looked up the dry brush method. We will definitely try it.

[@shiren4561]

It's a beautiful home! We are thinking of moving or doing renovations to update our home. I'd rather not have the headache with the reno and just get out of Dodge and Long Island where the taxes are ridiculous. We pay so much for the school district here and they have no respect for our property. I live on a block where the school empties out and the kids have a side walk across the street specifically built for them yet they cross over and walk on my lawn. I know I'm attached to this house but after seeing this video I'm out!! Thanks for this!!

[@anotherbutt4chair56]

[@Jin04115]

Can you do a video on how to upgrade wood furniture? I did a horrible job on my late mother's dresser and plan to correct it this summer.

[@tabbyandjackson5395]

We got our pendant lights at Home Depot had the best prices on lighting for me I felt they had a better selection than Lowe’s and a bit cheaper

[@InclusionMag]

Thanks, we agree. Much better selection.

[@Mysteriozone]

Thank you for this amazing video. I too am looking into getting a Ryan Homes and this was extremely helpful. How does the whole process work with them? You purchase the home to your liking and then they offer upgrades? Also about how much is due at signing? I would be relocating from NY and selling my current home so just have so many questions…

[@a.amaker4038]

Our Lehigh will be done in just a few weeks -- thanks again for these videos, they've been a great resource to us along the journey! Any tips / things you wish you had done differently now that you've been in the home a few months?

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Congrats! Glad the vids helped out. So far our biggest regret is not getting the bathroom rough-in for the basement.

[@stewart2568]

Don’t install dimmer switches just get smart bulbs and run them from the google home app on your phone even an eye phone. Way cheaper then hiring an electrician

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks , I’ll look into that. The dimmers would take about 5 mins to install, no need for an electrician.

[@stewart2568]

Ah okay...but trust me you will love google home... nothing like being in bed and forgetting that you left the downstairs kitchen light on and just asking google to turn it off or turn it down to a certain brightness. I have a total of 23 in my home and love it

[@spenserpayne4746]

Yep Ryan homes like to use the electric ovens and heat units to not have a “carbon footprint” it saves them money but in reality Gas heat and ovens are way more convenient for both electricians and the home owner haha. I do work for Ryan homes and the electric heat units are a pain to wire up as we have to use 6/2 wire sometimes the units have a 6/2 and a 10/2 disconnect in the attic and that’s a headache and half to do...

[@sharondouglas5389]

Many thanks for sharing your new home experience here! I totally love the kitchen. Are the countertops Granite? ANd if yes, what is the Name of it? (luna pearl, artic granite? Etc. Thanks for your help!

[@nitzpick4263]

I love your home!!! Thank you for sharing. Did you guys had a Realtor agent or you just went in and talk to Ryan Homes? My husband and I we are thinking about buying in Ryan Homes too.

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks! We went in solo, but would go with a realtor if we could do it again. I think they can take some of the mental strain off your shoulders, and possibly think of things you might not. Be warned, if there’s no realtor present during your initial contact, I don’t think you can bring one in later.

[@RP-ip4se]

Love your videos, In guest bedroom: the stand would look good in the entry or coming in from the garage, move over the gorgeous dresses in front of bed.

[@Roy-lt3eo]

Thanks so much. We tried moving the dresser in front of the bed, but the side profile of the dresser didn’t look good from the doorway. It only looked good from the PoV of someone laying on the bed.

Hi there! Beautiful home. Also looking at the Lehigh, when you have a chance, would you mind sharing the width of the wall that the bed is against in the bonus room? Specifically, from the window on the left to the corner on the right. I’m wondering if my small couch would fit there. Thanks a lot!

[@hotdayum]

Also, what size is the TV?

[@jaebee75]

Heyyy! It’s finally our closing day. Looking at your video again for more ideas. Where did you find the his and her bath rugs?

Awesome! My wife said she snagged them at Macy’s.

[@arrchanaraj]

Congrats on your new home! What’s the main floor flooring ?

[@Roy-lt3eo]

I can’t find it in my home files so I don’t know what Ryan Homes called it. However, on the box of extra planks they left us: the flooring is luxury vinyl plank; the company is called Armstrong Flooring; the wood pattern is called American Elm; the color is called Peppercorn. Here’s the website www.armstrongflooring.com/residential/en-us/rigid-core/rigid-core-elements/item/A6304.html
