Brickwork for the front of the house has been started.

Pre Drywall Meeting

Kurt and I went around and inspected the house so far. Yes, we go and look pretty often, but it's nice to go through each room and take the time to inspect everything.

We did find 2 small hiccups that need to be addressed. There's no gas line for the gas stove, and it appears that there's no light inside the master bath area where the shower is located.

On the plus side, the phone jack has been moved from behind the refridgerator to a more suitable location.

They intially told us that it's 8 weeks from the time of the pre-drywall meeting. I'm crossing my fingers that we're in by the end of the year. If not, it's not a huge deal, but I did mention that we were going ot move into the back yard on January 13th. Rent goes up $150 per month once our lease expires.

Pre-drywall Meeting Tomorrow

We meet with the builder tomorrow at 7:45.

Insulation

Insulation and Windows are going in today.

Electrical

Electrical wiring is being done. We've only found 1 snag, and that's where they appeared to have wired the phone jack for the kitchen behind the refridgerator.

HVAC

The rough HVAC has been installed. Mostly just pipes.

Fire Place

The fireplace is being installed.

Shingles

Shingles are now on the house. They added water sealant, which is the green stuff around the bottom. I've added a picture of what kind of shingles that were used, because someone will ask me what kind they were.

Plumbing

Plumbing is about half way done. Most of the pipes have been run, and there are now 3 showers in the house. No whirlpool bath yet. Pictures to follow later.

Framing Completed

More pictures of the framing. Next is shingles, plumbing, wiring and HVAC.
