This morning we had our pre-drywall meeting. Not much has changed at the house besides a little insulation in some walls. The brick and stone have also arrived. The shelf for the water heater has been moved to the right side of the garage. I took pictures of the brick but didn’t see the stone until we were leaving and didn’t get a picture.

We drove out to the house again today. We now have a roof! Woo Hoo! The HVAC is up in the attic, and the electric wires are throughout the home. The shelf for the water heater still hasn’t been moved to the right side of the garage. Ricky did find a few other things he will point out to the builder. Our inspector will be going out on the 21st and we have our pre-drywall inspection on the 24th. Not much more to update right now.

Ricky and I drove out to the house today. Boy, what a change from the last time we were there! All the interior walls are framed up. There were tubs in the two spare bathrooms, all the windows were in, and the roof was decked. It’s really starting to take shape. Of course, Ricky found a bunch of issues. One thing was the shelf for the water heater was on the opposite side of where the plumbing was. We did stop by the office and talk to Kristi and she said anything we found wrong would be corrected and that Zach hadn’t done his walk-through yet to tell them what was wrong. Stull Inspections will be going for another inspection on February 21. We’ll be there again on the 24th to do a walk-through with Zach and make sure everything looks good before they put the drywall up. Here are some new photos.

Things are moving quickly with the house, and it’s been really exciting to watch. Last week, they finished the framing, and we were honestly surprised at how fast it’s coming together. We haven’t had a chance to visit the site ourselves yet, but DW posted some pictures on our web page, and Lori and Aaron drove over on Sunday to take a few more. It’s amazing how quickly everything is going up!

We’re planning to head over tomorrow to check things out in person, and Ricky will be spraying the termite prevention solution while we’re there. Kristi and Zach called with an update yesterday, and they mentioned the interior walls are now up, and the windows are in place. Zach also said they’re decking the roof today and will be putting on shingles Monday. The HVAC system and utilities are expected to be finished next week as well.

It’s all coming together so fast, and we’re both excited and a little amazed at how much has happened already!
