2204: we have some visual progress

Friday was a BUSY day at 2204 Hampton Court.....the electricians were there, the plumber was there, the guys digging to hook us up to water were there, roofers and BRICKLAYERS!! Yes, the outside stuff has begun! As of this evening, the roof is 80% finished!! As soon as that is finished, the insulation will begin as long as the electrician is finished. They had to lay the brick around all the porches so they could "pour" the porches. They now will start on the south end of the house. As of today the plumber was installing the shower fixtures in the showers that are going to be tiled. They had installed the fiberglass shower in the bathroom above the garage along with 3....yes 3 water heaters (the bathroom above the garage is on a separate one). The heating/cooling crew was hooking the finishing things up on the furnaces and were disabling the temporary furnace. Supposedly they will start digging the "wells" for the geothermal next week....all 8 of them. We aren't, however, hooked up to water yet. Not sure what that hold up is. They are digging in the yard......Funny thing, they are using the water out of the sump pump hose and collecting it in a barrel for the bricklayers to make the mortar. Sometime this week Sean's new favorite person...the audio guy....is coming to check for the layout of the house (speakers, stereo, tv, security, etc). I met with one Landscaping company (yes, a little early) today and we will meet with another in a few weeks....Doug (builder) made up a sample of the beams that are going up in the great room......they look great!!

SOOOOOO that is the progress in a nutshell.

roof....the un-roofed portion is actually roofed now

You can see the beams that will be the roof of the porch. That is the Autobaum crew...it was FREEZING friday morning....bless their hearts. I could watch them all day, it is a facinating skill. I dont, however, think they would appreciate me there with my zillion questions.....
