Week is Shaping Up

I met Wayne at the house today to go over the construction draw. It started to dry out this afternoon and looks like a pretty good week now. They will be starting the water line tomorrow - yeah! Hopefully they can get that in and a road base in before the next wave of wet weather so that we don't get so much mud.

We should also be 'dried in' by the end of the week and windows starting to be placed.

We Interrupt This Program

I ran into Wayne dropping the kids off this AM and they cancelled all work. Due to snow and sticky, wet conditions, no work will be going on today.

We really need to get the water line in so that we can get the road base in and get out of this wet, sticky mess. This week isn't looking good weather wise, though...

Great Wall

They have the great room wall finished, framed the back wall and started the stairs. They also completed one of the window wells in back. They said they'd finish stairs tomorrow and more sheating on the roof. They've gotten a lot done and if the weather holds, will work over the weekend too. It's supposed to snow again starting Friday night into Saturday, but hopefully we won't get much. The weather forecast for next week doesn't look really good.

Front of house with sheating completed. Two windows are still covered up.

Great room wall framed in. Won't it be fun to know that there is a ladder in the wall...

Platform for stairs that go up.

One window well for the basement complete.

Horrible Weather

The framers have been battling a horrible spring weather pattern that has produced horrible wind through the framing process. We got the trusses up last week and then got a foot of snow. After the snow melted and they were able to get back out to the house, the wind showed up again. Putting sheathing up on the roof when it is this windy is probably very dangerous, so they didn't work yesterday. They did work over the weekend, so they are trying to keep up with the work.

I'm not really sure where they are on septic and water line which they were going to do last Thursday when we got our snow. We are also supposed to get snow tomorrow and on Friday again. I haven't looked at a new forecast, so need to check with Wayne.

It is sunny and calm right now, so hopefully they're getting some work done today. They now have a lift to help get all the material up to the roof for them so they don't have to carry it up and down. More pictures hopefully this afternoon.

Snow

Snow

It snowed last night, but I don't think that should slow down what they have to do this week. It's not going to be really cold. They will be putting in plumbing and perimeter drain.

End of last week they put a coating on the concrete foundation to help with moisture, I guess.
