Week 4- Pre-Drywall Meeting

We had our pre-drywall today and it went pretty smoothly. There were only a few questions that we had and our PM did a great job of answering them and making us feel comfortable with everything.  There were a few things for our PM's drywall punch out list  but nothing too major.

Week 3- We Have Been Framed!!!

Yay!!! Our neighbors told us that when they left for work on Wednesday we only had foundation and when they came back from work we had a house!  Our PM sent us these pics yesterday afternoon.

We went down after work and this is what we saw:

 

  That is the single welled exit, it is on the opposite side of the exit for the morning room 

   Unfortunately we also saw this crack in the foundation... We are hoping it is not as bad as it looks but we will talk to our PM about it next week at the Pre-Drwall Meeting

Pre-Drywall next week.. wow this is going by as quickly as you all have said it would!

 

What A Difference A Day ( and a half) Makes

We stopped by the house on Sat and this is what we saw

 

Our PM just sent an e-mail and this is where we are today

 

We are guessing that by Saturday when we go down to the house again we will be at least partially framed if not more.

 

Our Patch of Dirt is Now a Hole!

When we originally signed the contract and got the sold sign we took a picture and one of my friends was like congratulations on your...patch of dirt ?!?.. Well now our patch of dirt is a mighty hole yay!!!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow I love ya Tomorrow

We just got the e-mail that our PM will be picking up the permit and breaking ground tomorrow ! =-)

And We Wait...

Here are the pics of the lot that I said I would post...looks like it will stay looking like this for a little while longer.... I got an e-mail from our PM saying that it doesn't look like they will start until the middle-end of next week as the permit has still not been approved by the city =-/...

In no particular order

 

Don't know what kind of bush/weed that is but it wasn't there last month 

 

Hi Gina and Kevin!  (I know no one is  in the picture...no they are not my imaginary friends, they are our e-friends who also happen to be our next door neighbors and that is their lovely Raveena

Pre-Construction Meeting....Finally!!!!

Hi All,

We had our pre-construction meeting yesterday yay! It was supposed to be on Friday but we had a death in the family and had to postpone until yesterday.

It was quick and painless and we were able to ask all of our remaining questions. Our PM Scott seems cool and pretty laid back, but he told us that they wouldn't be able to put the wall mounts in for our closet organizer =-(.... oh well life goes on lol. I guess we will play Mr and Mrs Fix it and figure out how to do it ourselves. It  shouldn't be hard but we just don't want to mess anything up!

We were originally told by our SR that they planned to break ground Thursday the 26th, but our PM told us yesterday that the permit had not yet been approved by the city so they might have to push our start date back to some time next week. So we shall see... I will come back a little later and post some of the pics of our lot that I took with my phone yesterday.
