Did our weekly trip out to the house and things are coming along pretty well. The brick is about 95% complete, the walls have had the texture added, the hardwood floors have been installed and while we were there a crew was working on putting up the trim and staircase hardware.

The work on the house is progressing well. Today we went up for a look and all the sheet rock has been installed and the taping has been done as well. When you walk through it now it really feels more like a house since you can’t take any shortcuts through the walls. They have also started on the brick work on the outside of the house.
According to the construction time line the next things up are to texture the walls, install the cabinets, doors, and trim.

We went up to the house this weekend for a quick look around and they have finished up with the wiring, the extra gas line for the dryer, and the cable tv and internet wires. The insulation has been put up into a number of the walls and strategically placed throughout the house are stacks of sheet rock ready to go up on the wall. The construction manager told us they should start putting up the sheet rock this week and even through I didn’t see any brick at the house they should be starting with that as well.

Things are coming right along on the house. The framing is complete, the roof is on, the rough duct work for HVAC is complete, and the plumbing is complete. We meet on Wednesday with the builder to go over the electrical details and since it looks like they have some stuff that isn’t quite right we’ll ask about it then.

This week has been very busy with sporting events every night but Jen went and visited the house to take a picture of the progress. They have started getting decking the roof, windows have been installed in what looks like the majority of house, the outside insulation is going up, and you can see the outline of the chimney at the back of the house.

Jen and the kids went up to see the progress that had been made on the house this week and saw that the foundation had been poured. Then today we went up for another visit and they have started the framing process and I have to say it’s coming along pretty well. It looks like the majority of the first floor has been completed and they a good portion of the second floor has also been done.

We met with the builder last Thursday and they are ready to get going on the house. When we drove by the yesterday they had the foundation framed out, the underground plumbing done, and are ready to pour the foundation.
It’s fun to see progress being made.
