Dry-wall and tiling is finished on the main floor
Sorry no pics in this post. We stopped by the house and walked right up to the windows and peeped in. All the tiling in the front foyer and the kitchen is done. :) They’ve also painted the drywall throughout the house.
Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) check-list
I found this while searching for a PDI checklist. TARION has a checklist on their site, but it is not as comprehensive as this one. It was created by a gentleman named “Greg” and he created it for his own PDI. In no way, shape…
Mongoose Disturb – NO MORE STICKERS!
I removed those stupid stickers off the frame, and man, …what a difference! Why do vehicles like bikes, cars, or whatever, look so much better when they are simplified? I first noticed that when I saw one of the indy/champ race cars without all the…
Mongoose Disturbed mountain bike
I just bought it from Canadian Tire for $179.99 – it was regular $299.99. Awesome bike, here are the features: Lightweight dual suspension aluminum alloy frame Three-piece crank 21-speed twist shifters Front disc brake Rides like a charm. I’ve been looking for an “every-day” bike…
Exterior almost done
The exterior is almost done, with exception to the electrical fixtures. From the pictures, it looks like upper railings on the balcony are the only thing left to install.
Front siding almost there, and garage has been dry-walled
The front siding is almost fully installed. The area around the crescent window, the eavestrough, and various flashings are the only things left. The garage has been fully dry-walled, which is great. :)
Dude on the roof, installing the crescent window flashings
Drove by, and some guy was on the roof over the porch. He was installing the aluminum flashings that go around the crescent/vaulted window. They also shingled the roof over the porch.
Siding is getting there
They have installed the siding on the two sides and the back. They just have to do the front face and it will be done.
More siding, and dry-walling!
Whoa! I was surprised to see that the first floor was fully dry-walled. They finished the siding on the south side, but they haven’t started on any other area of the house yet.
Pillars have been installed
Drove by the house, and they installed the new pillars today. Looks good.
Home inspection + walk-thru today
The house looks fantastic inside. Framing is solid, floors are solid, the electrical is solid, …you get my drift. Everything looks like it is built well. They will be dry-walling in about 2 weeks, so I needed to get in there to take pictures of…
Fully bricked, garage floor poured
The house has been fully bricked. They have also poured the concrete for the garage floor – which is a surprise. Just a matter of time before they start the siding. I go inside the house tomorrow for an “Authorized Inspection”, which means I walk…
Better house pics
These are just some higher resolution pictures to go along with my last post. They were taken over the weekend, so not much was done.
Front porch is done, bricks finished on one side
They have finished the concrete front porch, and completed bricking one side of the house. That big pile of gravel has now been spread out into the garage and the front driveway. Things are moving along, ..but I’ve noticed the progress has slowed somewhat. Note:…
Big pile of gravel
Today, a big pile of gravel was deliver to the front driveway. I’m assuming it is for the garage floor, or the driveway itself. I also noticed that they bricked the back of the house first, and they are going to do the sides next.…
Bricks have been delivered, and moulds to pour the steps
The bricks have been delivered, and they have the mould in place to pour the concrete for the front steps. Things are moving along.
Getting ready to pour the front porch, and brick the sides
They are getting ready to pour the front porch steps. They also have scaffolding around both side of the house. You know what that means, …they will be laying bricks soon.
Roof is done
The shingles have been installed on the roof, and they have started to fill in the concrete bricks with limestone and sand on the upper porch.
Roof is on
Sorry, we moved out last week and I haven’t had time to post anything. The roof is on the house, and they have put concrete blocks in for the front stairs into the house.
Windows all around
Wow. I think most of the 1st and 2nd floor has windows installed. Looks like the balcony is almost complete. It is insane how fast they work.
We have a front door
A lot has been done since I last posted – and that was only 2 days ago. They started structuring the balcony and we now have a front door and window.
Barrel vault feature added
The barrel vault feature at the front of the house was added today. I don’t think that they did anything else because we had a lot of rain and a few thunder storms. Looks like it is a pre-cut piece that they have to order.…
