Two Months To Go

Things are happening so super quick now, it's hard to keep up.   

Monday Jeff from Adair came out and did his moisture readings...
we were dry!!! 

Super quick!
We rented an industrial dehumidifier and a propane heater, it only took 4 days to dry out.

We went out yesterday and cleaned up the construction mess.  Took us about 5 hours, just Josh and I.

What else...
Front and back doors are in
Rough Plumbing and electrical is done
Power is hooked up to the house
The garage slab is done
The gutters are on

What's next?

The framers have a few corrections to make
Water and Septic will be hooked up today or tomorrow.
Josh will install the rain drains tomorrow.
( Because of the massive amount of water we've had behind the house, we've opted to install a curtain drain too.  Which will help prevent water from getting under the house.)
Insulation is supposed to start on Wednesday.
We can start caulking the exterior.

Phase II begins with the insulation.  Phase II takes about 50 days, which puts our finish date around August 6th!!

Super Duper WOWZER!!

Phase One Complete!

We got a call from Adair on Tuesday...

They will be ready for us to start drying out the house out today!

Josh is renting a dehumidifier, fans and a heater.

The foundation was poured on May 6.  They told it would take 33 days to complete the foundation, framing, rough plumbing, and rough electrical.  The plumbing and electrical will be done early next week, so we're right on track.

what's next?

We're in charge of:
  • Site clean-up
  • permanent hook up of water, power and septic to the house
  • Drying out the house 
  • Rain drains and back filling
  • and, if the rain ever stops - painting and sealing the exterior.

Once the house is dry, they'll move on to Phase II - which starts with insulation and sheet rock. 

From the beginning of Phase II to Move In is between 45-50 days.  We're going to do our best to get our stuff done as quickly as possible!

It's all happening so quickly!

Week Four

It was certainly a busy week!  So much has happened!

We went out on Friday. 

Look!  a roof!


Our windows and doors had been delivered! 


They were working on the inside framing:



looking in from the front door.


dining room from the kitchen.


looking down the hallway


The main bath.


and the rafters.

When we went back out on Sunday:

The framing was finished, windows set in place and most of the wrap was done!
Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!

Super quick.
