As we welcome in the new year we realized we're already 11 weeks into our little construction project!
Being a short week (Monday holiday), and with some rain on Tuesday, construction progress was made primarily in less visible areas like framing adjustments, and getting the initial seal layer down on the upper-level porch floors.
On Monday we met with the electrician and plumbing contractor to review placement of fixtures (at least preliminary) and are expecting their updated proposals soon.
At week's end, we have 34 windows sitting in our front rooms awaiting installation! The weekend is supposed to be quite cold and rainy, but next week looks like 60's and 70's with plenty of sunshine, so getting the house wrap and windows installed should be no problem.
Decisions on things like tile, interior paint colors, plumbing and lighting fixtures, cabinets and counter-tops will be needed soon!! In the coming week we'll entertain proposals for interior design help in these areas, and spend time with the builder on details for the family room and rear porch fireplaces and, potentially, built-ins for the master bedroom.
That's all for this week!
