Nilay Bhatt’s inspiration to share this year starts in the kitchen. We’re thinking he needs some calypso music behind his “Island” hopping…enjoy!

There’s a definite order to building a Parade house (or any house, for that matter.) This week’s visit to the Parade site found most of the builders in the middle of trim work. After oodles of wood is delivered to the home, the trim carpenters swoop in with their saws, caulking and nail guns to get down to business.

Trim carpenters are highly-detailed craftsmen and their work, which sometimes plays a subtle role and other times is the headliner, takes skill and experience. Some of the more basic work is trimming out the baseboards and doorways. Where you’ll really see their expertise is in the crown molding, around the fireplaces, in the detailed paneling of the formal dining rooms and studies, and in the built-in features.

When you visit the Parade later this summer, take special note of the trim work. And consider the hours of manpower and skill that went into the final product. For now, here’s a sneak peek!

“The location of this parade right in the center of New Albany makes it quite special because it is so convenient to dining, our schools, library and award-winning arts center,” said NACO President Bill Ebbing. “We have worked with these builders to not only assure that this is a memorable parade, but the best start of what will be a truly dynamic new neighborhood in New Albany. We look forward to their outstanding homes and the legacy that they will leave our entire community.”

M/I Homes will celebrate its 25th year as a parade participant, the longest of any builder in parade history.
