Roof/Plumbing/Electrical/Stone for Basement

Roof/Plumbing/Electrical/Stone for Basement

A lot of work was done today, they completed the roof and electrical.They  put stones in the basement, and started on plumbing! 

We met with the Electrician this morning at 8:15am to do a walk through and change any outlets or add any cable runs that we wanted. We had originally budgeted about $750 for extra electrical that we wanted to add later, let’s just say we doubled that after everything was said and done... Wayne Homes includes 2 cable runs and 2 land line runs, we decided not to use the land line runs and substituted that for cable which was no extra cost. We added a bunch of can lights, electric outlets for T.V's that we are hanging on the wall, lighting for above the kitchen cabinets, wiring for a disposal, and a couple of outlets in the garage. When we were walking through the house I was shocked at how many people were working in the house. They had 4-5 people running wire throughout the house and they were moving quickly!

As we were leaving from our electrical walk through the roofers showed up and started shingling. They had 3 guys up on the roof shingling different sides of the roof and they looked to be moving fast, I was really impressed with the amount of people on the site at once and how well everyone was working in their own areas.

When I got off work, we stopped by the house and the guys had just finished spreading more stone down in the basement and when I talked to them they said they will be back on Thursday to pour the concrete in the basement, front porch, and the basement! During the walk through we noticed that the bathtubs had been moved into place and there had been some pipping ran into the tub area which was a good surprise.

Framing Day 5 - Enclosing the Roof, Trusses over the Garage

Framing Day 5 - Enclosing the Roof, Trusses over the Garage

Framing Day 5 has completed!

Pulling up to the house I could see that they finished putting the trusses above the garage and kitchen area. They had also started on the front peak above the garage but this was not finished. Almost all of the sheathing appears to be on the exterior of the house except for a few pieces.

Curt had originally told me that they should be finishing all of the framing by tomorrow, I am not sure they are going to be able to finish everything that needs done.... Some of the things that I noticed which still need framed up are
  1. Porch Roof
  2. Garage Peak
  3. Basement Stairs
  4. Master Bedroom Wall
  5. Wrap the Entire House
  6. Tar Paper the Roof
  7. Install Windows
  8. Install Exterior Doors
  9. Take out closet in Mudroom

Only time will tell and I am hoping Curt is right and all of the framing is done tomorrow. Here are some of the picture from Day 5.

Front of the house, almost all of the sheathing is complete!

Backside of the house looks like they started to tar paper the back of the roof
