I now have proof that there was no way that they could have built Rome in a day! Here we are 137 days in to single family home build, and we are not anywhere near being finished!! This is in no way a criticism of our contractor, who has been fab. There has been great progress made, which is plainly evident when I look back at the photos I took on Day 1 versus now. We are actually slightly behind the original schedule (which in my opinion was possibly over ambitious anyway..says she who has never built a house before... so who was/am I to judge?) but nothing to get concerned about.
Obviously it is "Le Weekend", and no one was working at the house, that I know of, yesterday or today. There was some talk of possibly the base coat of the stucco going up, but we had some heavy rain showers this morning that may well have put paid to any such ideas.
The end of last week the excavation of the drainage pits started, electrical wiring and installation of the plumbing continued, and the primed siding began to be fixed on to the house.
Photo descriptions:
1) Siding going up....the primer is grey, but the finished colour is not.
The final painting wil be done once all the siding is on the house.
2) The beginning of the excavation of the drainage pit..taken from the porch roof.
3) The Pex system is now being connected to the pipes. Photo shows the plumbing
for the vanity unit in the guest suite.
4) The front of the 3086 Merlin Road, as it looks as of August 22nd 2010.
