Pictures

update, inspection, etc...

i'll post some new pictures. i need to get over there and shoot some today. the place is all framed and the framers just need to set the windows and they're finished up.
except, the inspector came out yesterday, and there are a few little things to fix. and a couple of bigger things. and one huge thing. then we should be structurally set, and ready to side.
i'm working on getting the siding set up. metal. if the neighbors aren't already a little "interested" after seeing the shape, they will be when the metal goes on. metal roof goes up on labor day weekend, but you cant really see the roof from the street anyway. the siding is another story.

august begins

its been a slow process, but the framing is finally starting to wrap up. the top floor is walled in, and the roof is going on today. once we have a roof, we can really start to visualize what the rooms will look like. prior to that, its tough to get a feel for what we're working with as far as room size, finish work, etc...
started to do some plumbing last week. with some help from tim, we should be able to get the majority of the drains and vents dry fitted this weekend. we'll have a dry inspection first to make sure we aren't doing anything totally wrong. then we'll glue it all up and have it tested.
the plan from this point is: finish framing between now and aug 11. have framing inspection and any follow up framing work done by aug 18. by the end of august, have rough plumbing in, tested, and passed, and be able to backfill the rest of the holes in the yard. by end of september, have roof on, plumbing finished, electrical and plumbing supply lines should be well under way, and the siding should be on. weathered in by the end of september.
