Foundation and Plumbing

It has been a busy two weeks as the lot has gone from staked, to a hole with footers, and not the foundation is in. Our PM told us that the lumber will be dropped off on Tuesday and that the slabs should be poured on Monday. It's coming together quickly!




The house is wrapped in water proofing. This is from the back of the foundation.

Some of the plumbing from the rear.

We added the Egress window in the rear of the finished basement.


Straight ahead are the rough ins for the basement bath. It is a 3 piece rough in.

Footers In

Footers are in and the forms have been delivered to pour the basement walls.

Right behind the morning room. 


We will have a great view from the back yard.

This will be cleaned up, but we wanted to keep some trees in the yard.

Pre-con meeting

We had our pre-construction meeting yesterday. The meeting ran about two hours and was very informative. Our PM led the meeting and our SR attended as well. This was our first meeting with the PM and he seems to be very knowledgeable and experienced. He started by going over the placement of the home on the lot and explained in entirety the exterior of the home including draining, utilities, electrical, and water bid locations.

We went through all of our selections to confirm we were on the same page and everything checked out. This was definitely the time to speak up and ask questions. Even though our selections were in, we went over small details that can be tweaked which is good to know. Our PM was accommodating to our requests and it was clear he is focused on making his clients happy.

We walked the lot and talked about what would be cleared. We are keeping a few of the nicer trees and they are going to clear our the undergrowth. We should have enough trees for shade and privacy which we are very happy about.

They are shooting for the 13th to start digging just as they mentioned previously. We will finally start to see some progress! I'll upload some pictures next week once we have a hole!
