new vette 62 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 My advice is if you think of anything you want in the walls, do it now. Electric outlets (220) voice, data, tv, even speakers in the ceiling. Black pipe for air. It's cheaper now than waiting until you're done and think I should have installed this.

Thats such a great idea. We have surround sound already coming out of there for the house but haven’t even thought of putting speakers in!! 220 was a requirement of the husband. I’m checking on speakers! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont' be surprised if you don't see anyone until Monday, just kind of how things work around holidays in this business anymore: pretty much any holiday = a four day weekend (in this case 5 days). On the upside, they've boarded and secured you pretty darn good, you'll be alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aenigma Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yes. I was surprised last night how much they thought of our safety. That was a concern before this all started. They’ve been so good about it. They installed a safety door inside to the house yesterday for when they open up the wall. They were there starting this morning as usual at 6am. They seem to be working 6 days a week and moving quick. I’ll be interested to see about the rest of the week. They know we’re on a timeline for drag week car modifications so that seems to be driving them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aenigma Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 I am extremely pleased with the builder. The gas line incident stressed me out and they handled everything well. Last night I was thinking wow what if we had hired someone who wasn’t as experienced. This could’ve been a disaster already. Top notch professionalism.

aenigma Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 It’s coming together in amazing ways. It’s looking magestic. Just standing there makes it look like it’s going to dwarf our house. We’re adding a drainage system on the side since the gas line needs to be moved and raising the beams into the ceiling. Our completion date is Sept 20 but they’re pushing for Aug 31.
