Week 9 Progress!! Looks pretty good!!

The Brick work in our unit is complete!  Windows and Doors are included!

INSULATION everywhere, just the way we like it! We walked in this morning and even though it was a COLD morning the place was relatively warm.  All doors were open and of course there was no heat, but the ENERGY STAR features are doing a good job!
A BUNCH OF STICKS!  Imagination at work.... it will look like a home soon enough!

Shiny Duct work ready to blow conditioned air throughout our home! Supposedly < 4% leakage allowed for ENERGY STAR...

Our fireplace is so understated right now.

Main living area... looks good so far!

Week 8/9 Progress

Last week while driving our beloved Dodge Omni to see our condo, we got into a single car accident.  We slipped on a patch of ice and smashed up our car pretty good. The great news is that we were both fine and the insurance believes they can repair the damage.

Next week we have our pre-drywall meeting so we hope to have some pictures then.

Week 7 Progress

Not much to see here.  Allegedly the concrete subfloor was installed between the two units.  They've started putting up bricks on our side of the building first, while the other units get HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installed.

Our PM says we could schedule a time to visit now. Unfortunately we are too busy working to visit.  I guess that's the ironic part about buying a place.  You have to take time off from the place that allows you to buy a home in order to get visit or get things done (pick colors, tiles, carpet, sign paperwork). I'm not really complaining, I don't expect the PM to work on weekends or make special arrangements for us.

Week 6 Progress




Not much to see.  They've completed the roof and plan to pour the concrete sub-floor in the next few days.  The PM says we'll have our pre-drywall in the next 2-3 weeks. Estamos juntos!

FOUR LEVELS ALREADY!!!

So after seeing the first two levels go up so quickly we went back the next weekend! Oh MY... FOUR LEVELS!  These guys are working quickly!


Here it is... no longer just a thought or figment of our imagination!

 A close up of the back of our house and the balcony area.

You can see clearly across the house... front to back door! 



Staircase to bedroom for the bottom townhouse level. Wondering what ours looks like?
