Excavation for New House - November 15th

The clean-up of the old house was completed and the excavators worked on laying out the new house area as can be seen by the photos. Plans are to test the compacted soil on Friday and if it passes, then they will pour concrete for the footings. Kevin provided a tentative "game plan" to me this evening as follows:


















Next Week (11/19- 11/23):
  1. Plumbing, electrical, low voltage, water piping to be layed down.

  2. Masons to work on the foundation.

  3. Install the metal roof on the guest house/garage.

  4. Install the overhead door on the guest house/garage.

  5. Finish trimming out the windows in the guest house/garage.

Following week (11/26-11/30):

  1. Expects to backfill on either Tuesday or Wednesday


  2. Begin framing the new house by Wednesday, 11/28 - at this point the project is about 1 week ahead of schedule.


Pray for good weather in the upcoming weeks so they can get the house framed before winter really decides to come on.
