Timelapse 5/16 to 5/26

From the front!

Some pics from this Memorial Day weekend..

We got a lot done this weekend. We had a lot of the exterior framing closed up and started work on the trim. We cleared out ALL the piles of lumber for recycling and for landfill and have a clean driveway once again. Work started for the garage pad and the entrance stairs. It will be very nice to be able to drive into the garage and walk up to the front door!

Doors!

This weekend we had our front doors delivered. Thank's to Jenson for lending a hand to move those big things up the stairs. We also had our back door delivered as well.

Roofer guy also came by. Turns out the roof is probably the single biggest line item left on this build so I'm trying to cut costs where I can. The top color on the photo below is a material that I can buy a lot scrap from an old job of on craigslist. While the bottom would be new. Really depends what I can get the material for. Time to start negotiating.

Roof choices. Decisions decisions

Encountered one issue with the subfloor. We had a bunch of rain and standing water over the past month and a half on the site. These are guaranteed not to swell. Photo showing quite a bit of swelling occurred. The guys at the factory were very nice about offering free sanding. So I'll have to get some quotes from local floor sanders.

Sorry for the lack of posts. There just hasn't been anything impressive going on this past week. Most of the time was spent flashing windows and tidying up little things. The plumbing rough in has begun here are some of those pics:

Pex lines going into my master bath

Box for the washing machine

Drain lines and water lines

Frank! who drove 100miles each way to give me a hand!

I've been spending a lot of time taking care to do the window flashing right. Its not the most exciting thing in the world but it does give me peace of mind that I know whats keeping the water out.

Next up is electrical rough in.. and some of the exterior work!
