| This is what our walls are going to look like...jk |
We stopped by the lot after work today not expecting to see much of anything. I thought maybe they would have staged the wall forms but that might have been it. I was wrong! They were putting our wall forms up...and making quick work of it. They had 4 more hours of sunlight, so they probably finished before knocking off for the day.
We're hoping they will pour the concrete tomorrow and have the forms off by the day after (Friday). If so, then maybe we can get the water proofing done and inspected some time next week.
We still need the rough plumbing to be put in, the slabs to be poured and the steel beams to be set. If the 3 week lead time for the wood package is consistent than the week of May 6th is our target date. Probably closer to the middle or end of that week. So there is time.

Working in the rain? where is that darn rain dance when you need it LOL! WOW by this time next week it should be framed up!
ReplyDeleteWe had some great weather earlier in the week and the weekend but don't you know, it rains now that we have to pour concrete. I don't think it is going to slow them down though. We probably won't have our wood package until the week after next. :(
DeleteWow, I was off the blogs for a few days and you've already really started some good progress (even with the rain). Looking good. Yes, they've got plenty of time for plumbing, slabs and beams - that part goes very quickly.
ReplyDeleteI know...we're really excited. Thanks for stopping by, hopefully the momentum doesn't slow down too much. They dug on another lot (which is now a real swimming pool/pond), and there is another one right behind them...so I don't want them to try to slow us down to synchronize with them.
DeleteI'm loving the progress on your Avalon. So exciting, can't wait to see it finished.
Those are some high walls showing above grade! Hopefully the weather turns for the better when they're ready to begin framing.
ReplyDeleteThere is possibly some rain in the next few days. I'm hoping it won't slow us down too much. These crews are doing a great job and really making good time. My PM is telling me, we have a great framing crew and they usually finish 30% faster than other crews. It's been quite a ride so far.
