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.

Pre-drywall scheduled.

Got an email from our PM this morning asking if we were available Monday for our pre-drywall meeting. I was so happy. It was starting to seem like there wasn't much happening. I'm sure this happens to a lot of people once you stop seeing the obvious outside changes, like framing, siding, etc... I answered his email immediately, and told him yes we'd be available Monday but not until the afternoon. Then I took a shot in the dark to see if we could get in earlier. I told him I was going to be off from work tomorrow, and I would also be around until noon on Friday. Wifey's schedule is very flexible because she works from home, so basically when i'm available, so is she. About a half an hour later I get a reply asking if 9:30 on Friday was ok. You bet it is! I guess my idea worked out, so just remember to ask, otherwise the answer will definitely be no.

We had taken a ride by this morning too, and noticed a couple of new things. First, we have a driveway! We almost didn't notice, because you get so used to looking at the house. They also started installing street lights, and some more sidewalk was going in. That's all for now, i'll have pics and an update sometime on Friday after the meeting.
