Pre-drywall

Woke up yesterday morning and headed over to the homesite for our pre-drywall meeting. Our PM drove up shortly after we arrived, and we got to it. The meeting was pretty straight forward. We made sure all of our add on recessed light fixtures were in the correct spots, they were. We also made sure Guardian put their stuff in the right spots, they got it almost right. We opted to have the pre-wiring for surround sound in the basement, and one of the locations was incorrect, ok not too bad. Overall everything looked good to us. I think reading through so many blogs gave us a good idea of things to look for during the walk through.

Our Pm told us our Pre-settlement walk through is scheduled for October 23rd, which actually doesn't feel that far off. He mentioned, as i've seen in other blogs, that the biggest thing that can hold us up right now is the local utility company. In fact he has one home that he's lost ten days on so far due to lack of utilities. Hoping we don't run into that issue. As I mentioned in my last post we have a driveway, well as we were making our way out of the garage a worker pulled up in a back-hoe and started digging the area between the driveway and the curb for the sidewalk. The wife and I took a ride over today to see if the sidewalk had been poured, but it wasn't, all the forms were in place though. We'll check back Monday afternoon.

I'll end this with some pictures, Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

First pic is from the basement near the furnace.
Next two are of the second bathroom upstairs. First one is from inside the bathroom, you can see the loft on the other side of the tub. The second pic is from the master bedroom closet, looking in.

  1. Cool, you're getting there! You going to hire or have your own independent inspector inspect the house before drywall goes up?

    1. Thanks, Frank. Hope all goes well with your final walk thru, and closing. I see the lot next to you guys sold, any idea what model they're building? I have a feeling the one next to us will be the last to sell.

    2. Thanks frank. Final walkthrough is tomorrow at 10am and we can't wait. Unfortunately our closing may end up getting pushed back. We are supposed to close on the 30th but since my wife had to have the emergency surgery a month ago and has been out of work they might push our closing back until Oct. 15th. They said they need to see her back to work first for 1 pay period. We should know in a few days the answer. They are building a Rome from what I was told.

    3. Wow Frank, that really sucks that they may delay closing. All that really matters though is that your wife is doing better.

    4. Thank you. Yes she is doing much better!!�� We actually had our walk today and talked to Linda about the closing. They are doing what they can to get us in on time but it may just be one of those things. Seeing the house totally finished doesn't help wanting to be in so bad!
