Well it's been a week since I last posted, and a lot has happened. The foundation is complete the water stop and drain tile are installed. The gas line has been tied into the main which had not been installed at the proper depth which caused it to be damaged by the heavy traffic coming on and off of the construction sit. So they had to call out the gas company to excavate, repair and reinstall the main at the proper depth. My wife went out to the site on the tenth and she said that it was like a mad house out there, they have four houses coming up at the same time there were dump trucks, bull dozers, excavators, work trucks and trades men all over the place she says. On our site they were busy wrapping up the foundation work getting ready for the lumber delivery on the eleventh or the twelfth. The lumber was delivered on the eleventh and I couldn't help myself I had to see it! I got off work and made a B line for the job site. I couldn't beat the sun going down so there I was again on the job site after dark looking like a crazy man, and this time I drug the whole family along because I had the misses and the kids come out as well. The house was laid out in two large well put together bunks with some miscellaneous things like the shower enclosure laid out separately. While out there I took a stroll around the entire job site and took a boat load of pictures. Our PM told us that he hasn't gotten as far along on our house as he thought that he would but he intends to catch up this week. On the fourteenth he was able to get the carpenters over onto our site too get started on the lumber work. They got the basement windows installed and got the framing for the first floor started. The PM stated that he intends to get the the framing work done this week and if not completed this week it will be completed in the last three days of Christmas week, prior to the crew taking off for New Years. Well here are the latest pics I'll try to put them in proper order.
