Busy Week So Far

Well it is only Thursday morning and it has been a very busy week.

There are multiple crews on site doing a lot of stuff.

We have:
The Carpenter. They are doing:
- All framing in the existing portion of the house
- Adding in sub- flooring where needed
- Assisting the other trades to get things done.
All around the carpenters keep the job moving, and moving fast they are. According to Mick they are only moving at 3/4 speed, your truly has been a bit delayed in getting specific directions on certain items. I am trying though. I can only imagine what full speed looks like. They have been a great job.

On a side note, I had the opportunity to relive my childhood detention days, you know "I will not shoot spit balls" 100 times. Mick needed a door schedule completed and proceeded to stand over me until I completed the thing (it was 6:30 pm when we left). Mick, thank you for generating that trip down memory lane.
I promise to deliver things on time....

The plumbers, Vladmir and Ray, have shown up and are moving ahead. They will install all the vent pipes first and then come back and do the copper water lines. It is done this way for two reasons
1) Don't want copper on the job until the house is closed up (it will just get stolen)
2) The vent lines are the hardest part to fit in the walls, so they always go first

Jose, the concrete guy, is back and this time he brought a Bob Cat. We currently have a drive in basement. He had to make a ramp down to the basement to dig it out. Video to come

Iouri, the mason, is working away openings and closing windows. The front porch will commence today.

Needless to say, it is busy.

Two changes that we will be making.

1) We decided to add sky lights off Mick's suggestion.
Where you ask?
- Top of the staircase
- Master bath
- Kid's bath
They should add some really nice light ot the second floor

2) We are going to enlarge the kitchen by 6". May not seem like a lot, but every inch count.

All is all, we are moving nicely. The new windows are ready for delivery so as soon as the heavy trades are done the should be here.

Check back tomorrow. Will try and upload videos and maybe Mick will have a new lesson :)
