Week 4 Construction, What a hot mess!

This was a CRAZY CRAZY week and a TON of work happened! Like I stated in the title of this blog, it was also a hot mess!  I am not going to get into errors that were made with this blog post, I am going to make a special post for all of the errors this week.  I am telling you, just wait!

This blog is going to have a lot of pictures!  Can't believe this all happened in one week.

Here was week four schedule the builder gave us:
10/31 - Monday - Slab Prep - We did not go out to the house, Trick or Treat!  I am not sure how many Trick or Treaters we will get at the new house?
11/1 - Tuesday - Electrical Trench, Inspect, insulate, pour slabs for garage and basement, steel delivery
11/2 - Wednesday - Pour slabs for garage and basement - I was getting my hair done tonight, so we did not visit the house. Our neighbor did send us some updates though
11/3 - Thursday - Framing
11/4 - Friday - Framing

Here was the actual schedule:
10/31 - Monday - Slab Prep
11/1 - Tuesday - Electrical Trench, Inspect, insulate, pour slabs for garage and basement, steel delivery - Framing Started, we were not expecting that!!!
11/2 - Wednesday - Pour slabs for garage and basement - Slabs were poured and 2nd floor was framed
11/3 - Thursday - Framing
11/4 - Friday - Framing



11/1 - Tuesday - We went out to the site and were SHOCKED with the progress! The first two pictures are actually our neighbor's house, since we didn't get out on Monday. Moisture barriers and such for the concrete slabs.
Garage Floor Prep
Basement Floor Prep


 That's a lot of lumber!!!

11/3 - Thursday -I had a half day today, so I went by and took a few pics around noon.  It was raining, so I didn't get out of the car.
The only thing different, is the entire front of the house!  Again, I will get into this on the next blog post!


11/4 - Friday - James went out after work and took a few shots, we have a roof!
 Almost a full roof, little hole up there ha!

Starting the roof of the porch


11/6 - Sunday - I went to the house on my way home from the beach.  Framers were working on the neighbors house.  I decided to be a little rebellious and VERY carefully take a look around inside.  I explored all three floors.  They must have worked very late on Friday or worked Saturday.
