I've always heard that a house build goes quickly, and that’s been so true for us over the past month. Here’s a quick construction update:
October 21, 2019: We broke ground on the house! October 23: Digging was complete and footers were poured
October 24: Basement walls were poured
October 30: Basement was waterproofed
November 2: Gravel was placed around the house and in the basement
November 13: House was backfilled with dirt
November 20: Floor joists were set
November 25: Floorboards were placed and garage was partially framed
December 1: Exterior was framed
December 3: Interior walls were framed
December 6: Bonus room trusses were set, master bath, hallway shower and downstairs shower were delivered
December 7: Rest of house trusses were set
December 11: Roof is mostly covered, stairs to the bonus area was installed and subfloor was installed. Columns were beginning to be installed for the front porch.
In a little over a month, we have made some serious progress on the house. And having just selected all of our lighting options (I’ll make a blog on that soon!), we are feeling more excited than ever to move in. It still doesn’t feel real that we get to build this beautiful home!
