The insulation is in.

The drywall(lying on the floor) should be up within a couple of days.

3:20pm



Almost done but for some reason they didn't go all the way to the roof. I looked around and saw that the crew had moved on to another house in the neighborhood. I guess that they'll finish eventually.

11am this morning

We have Brick


I went by the house this afternoon hoping to see some progress on the brick and this is what I saw:



No brick up yet but there are some workers moving stacks of bricks to various places. I thought that they were about ready to start - perhaps tomorrow. I went by again at 6pm on the off chance that they had started bricking today and found this:








I was impressed by how much they had done in 3 hours.

We have brick!

My niece and nephew are visiting us. Aren't they cute?



They go home tommorrow to their mom and dad. They sure are sweet kids.

The roof has shingles.

They did it this morning, I think.




Upon entering the house we found the following items that had not been there on our previous visit:

Front Door



The shower/tub in the upstairs guest bedroom



And the shower in the master bathroom




Also, it looks like they got the rough plumbing done.

Windows & Tarpaper Added. Stacks of shingles are on the roof, ready to be applied.

The House

The week before last we took a picture of the 'house.'



Just a foundation with some pipes sticking out of it. The next step was the framing which was supposed to start tomorrow. We checked in to see if the lumber had been dropped and what we found instead was this:




We were supposed to get a phone call from the construction manager the night before framing started but did not. The reason for this was so we could take pictures of the various phases as the frame was going up(we also wanted to pictures of the foundation being poured but didn't get the agreed upon call then, either).

We did take some pictures after we got used to the thing already being there. Behold:





Garage



Kitchen



Living Room



Loft



Master Bedroom



The view from upstairs


So there it is; our new house. Next week the plumbing, a/c, & electrical should be done.


We're looking at early October as a move-in date.
