Well, I’m combining the last two months of updates into a single post. I was so uber busy during April that I didn’t get an update posted at ALL so I will start with the month of April and follow through to our final product. The estimated move-in date is currently May 20th, 2006! So […]
March 17, 2006 – Drywall went up pretty quickly and the first pic shows all the joints already mudded and smoothed out. The screw holes were quick to follow. The second pic is a nice pile of wet mud compound that I managed to step in. In the third pic you’ll see the buckets of […]
I found this pretty funny and must give props to TheWeeble where I found it. http://www.compfused.com/directlink/1253/
There haven’t been many updates lately and that is because this past week and a half has been “inspection week” where no progress was visibly made other than some paperwork. The rough structure, HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing inspections have all passed and now we are already insulated and ready for drywall to go up. The […]
Eh… so it’s been a week. I had our server blow up at work so I’ve practically lived there the past few days. Here’s the update: Rough electric, HVAC, and plumbing are done. The roof is done and the siding is 75% done. The drywall starts going up end of next week most likely. The […]

The first photo is where we have decided we will let our friend Don from Cleveland live. We have picked out cabinetry and got that order placed yesterday… other current things to do: […]
My Grandma emailed me demanding an update… So here it is: In recap, they broke ground on January 3rd and it is now February 2nd. In the span of a month, we are now fully framed with the concrete garage floor and basement floors poured and the shingles going on the roof, as well as […]
A lot of progress has been made in the past two days. They’ve completed nearly all the interior walls on the second floor by now and the second story ceiling joists will be going up tomorrow along with the roof trusses if there is time. I can’t believe they have only been framing for 5 […]
On Friday they had 2 walls up. I came back on Monday and found the first floor exterior walls all completed with only 8 small walls to put up and then the celing joists to put on. Once that is done, the second story work can begin. They pumped out the water in the basement […]
Delayed a couple days due to rain/snow pushing back a previous job, they started framing on Friday morning. They may work Saturday to make up for lost time. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of the first wall going up (garage wall).
