Week 18 - Drywall Finishing

Last week there was a lot of finishing work done. The roof on the addition was installed along with the skylights, and the windows were installed.

Our new windows are in!

Week 10 - More Masonry and Framing

Image
I can't believe that we've been under construction for 10 weeks now! The whole schedule is only 19 weeks so we've hit the 1/2 way mark. This week was finishing up the masonry on the addition, starting the masonry for the garden walls, and some interior framing work, namely the stairs. I think that the brick is the most labor-intensive part. When I went by on Friday, there were 6 guys there laying brick! The side walls of the addition are done. I think that they are waiting for the windows to do the piers on the north facade. From Friday, laying the brick for the east garden wall. Closer view of the east garden wall under construction From today, protecting the wall from the rain yesterday - west garden wall East garden wall East brick wall of the addition.

End of Week 1

Image
The end of last week saw the removal of most of the wood paneling in the basement and the abatement of the asbestos floor tiles, also in the basement. I was told by the contractor to stay away, but I did sneak a couple of pictures without actually going in the basement. Looking down from the stairs in the kitchen From the back door into the basement. The surveyor also came out to mark the property lines for the addition. Hopefully the rain this week won't hold up the next step, which is to excavate for the addition! Stay tuned for more this week.

Punchlist Day 1 - First Floor is almost done!

Today was an exciting day - I went over in the morning to start doing the final punchlist/inspection of the house. Really only the first floor was ready, so that's mainly what I focused on. They were finishing up more today and tomorrow and so I will go over on the weekend to do the rest. I was so excited to share, that I commandeered the beginning of our work monthly management meeting this morning to share photos. Everyone at work has been following this project, so they were all excited to see it. I wanted to share with all of you, too!!! The living room floors are refinished, walls are smooth, and we have beautiful new baseboards! (they aren't that yucky brown anymore!!) The living room looking the other way. Our BEAUTIFUL kitchen!!!!! I can't wait to start using it. Slightly different view. The opposite wall. We have so much storage!! Back at the kitchen looking the other way. The pantry wall looking the other way. The banqu...
