May 29th and they are starting the stucco work

Now we can see how the house is going to look. It is very exciting to see the walls get filled in and ready for stucco. We only have a few windows to get installed. Take a look.

So you can see the preparation for the stucco. We should have that all done by June 1. Then we need the electrical, plumbing and framing inspections completed. After this step the insulation and dry wall will go up and we are well on our way. The cabinets are arriving early and the appliances will be ready to install the latter part of June. We hope to start the pool renovation the 3rd week in June and have it all done by the middle of July. Great progress. Our project manager, Steve Lambert, is doing a great job and he asked me to say hi to all of you.

Paint texture for the stucco... What do you think?

Check out the stucco. They are putting up the black paper, white padding and the chicken wire now. It is coming along. We need to select the stecco look so give my your input.

May 8

May 8 ... Framing almost complete 

On May 8, we meet with the Electician, The Audio / Video installer / and the cabinet man.  Everyting is in synce as all those folks need to coordiante where the recepticals, speakers, connectors, routers, hubs coax cables, telephone cable and  for all the various electronics need to go.  John was here this weekend to do this.

At he moment the house looks "big for the street", but we went across the lake to tak a look and it blends in nicely.  But on the street it is big as the front enrtrance is quite tall.  One the windows are in and the stucco on, the front should blend in a well.

Next week these operations will start with the completed framing going on as well.  Windows are coming near the end of May, then the dry wall and we'll be able to "see" the end of the project.

May 5th and the framing is moving along...
