It was sure a windy day out there to meet today -- papers blowing everywhere!
My HVAC contractor, plumber, electrician, concrete guys, and my framer/builder all met for a while on the site today. While I feel that I may have wasted some of their time today, I think that a lot of details were communicated before it is all "set in concrete" -- literally!
We discussed where all of the sleeves for plumbing, electrical, heating/air will go through each of the foundation walls, what sizes, and any special requirements for each. Now, I've got to get it all written down in a neat and coherent way that is also correct!
I had intended to take a picture of the guys, and also get their permission to name them (hey, it's free advertising), but that will have to wait for another time since we had more important things to do... No, I'm not talking about the details mentioned above -- I'm talking about the jokes and goofing around that happens at water coolers and around coffee machines everywhere...
It was good for some of the guys to meet since a few of them had never met the rest, though several of them have worked together before (not sure if that's good or bad)...
Don't be expecting pictures of major excavation in the next week or two. We expect to be starting work on the storm cellar in about 2 weeks, so we'll be seeing that dug out in about a week and a half. About 2 weeks after that, we should have the foundation complete, and be ready to work on the under-the-slab jobs...
I have to say that I feel like we have assembled a great group of guys to work on this ultimate home project: The Home Itself... I plan to tell you more about them in the coming weeks...
