NOTE 03/10/03 — The garage doors were supposed to be installed today, but they were the wrong color. The door company will have to re-order them and it will be another week. | |
Construction Day 85 April 6
|
Not much progress as we are just cleaning up the site, grading, and constructing temporary doors to be able to lock up the house and keep the weather out. We are working out the installation of the skylights. At least, all the windows are installed and working very nicely. |
Construction Day 84 April 1 |
The framers are done with what they can do until the other trades are complete. We ordered the plumbing fixtures and they will arrive in a week. The skylights are to be delivered today. We got two more truckloads of fill dirt to continue with the grading. |
Construction Day 83 March 26
The trusses are on and the roof is dried-in. The framers are finishing up the rough framing and it should be completed today. We are scheduling in the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and lightning protection for their rough-in before the roof goes on.

Construction Day 82 March 25
Shit! The roof trusses are still wrong. I would never recommend or use Trussway, Inc. to make trusses, again. The crane is here removing the first set of wrong trusses and the framers are rushing to try and repair the second set of wrong trusses. |

Construction Day 81 March 24
The exterior sheathing wrap is going up. All the windows will be completely installed. |
