Progress Report

Very wet concrete with forms still in place

Since the last progress update…there hasn’t been much progress;-)  One major thing that got accomplished last week was that the basement slab got poured – woohoo!!!  Kudos to Jeff Perry and the Perry’s Concrete crew…likewise to Gary Bridge’s crew that helped them out to get the pour done just before it started raining (again).  You guys rocked – great communication, excellent work, and left the site clean.

Concrete drying the day after the pour...the water is from more rain

Framing was supposed to start first thing Monday morning but we have had major storms for the last three days that brought everything to a screeching halt.  The first floor trusses are built, lumber is ready to go, and we are ready to rock and roll as soon as the weather cooperates.

The current agenda includes collecting cabinet bids (stay tuned), getting more roofing bids, ordering all things plumbing, and making sure everything is on track regarding inspections and managing the budget.  Yes, we are still thoroughly enjoying the process (I just don’t want to say that too loudly for fear something will change);-)

Concrete again...only drier

HINDSIGHT IS 20/20:  Sonic Happy Hour drinks and Shipley Do-Nuts have gone over very well with the crews working on our home…you can’t do it all the time for everyone who steps foot on the site BUT it has been greatly appreciated the times we have been able to drop by at just the right time.

These didn't last long

Strike a pose...now let's frame
