Setting Up the Dominoes

Today poor Stephanie spent a stress filled day trying to get all the contractor dominoes lined up properly so they'll fall into place. As time goes on you realize that there are a few crucial junctures that you can't very well anticipate, but that all forward progress relies on one or two people getting their job done. Such is certainly the case now.

We're waiting on the plumbers and HVAC fellows to finish their work so that the electricians and low voltage guy can get their wires run so that the insulation can be placed and the sheetrock put up. We also need to the plumbers and HVAC fellows to run their vents and lines so that the siding contractor can get to his work. The siding guy is also waiting on the electricians to finish their exterior lines and lights so he can get to work on the soffits. The siding guy is also waiting on the concrete guys to finish their work, so that the framers can get the deck in place and the excavator can get all his piles of dirt back in their proper place and then the siding guy can move his lift around. Tomorrow we'll hopefully have the roof and facia in place over the bay window, and the bottom of the window sealed so that can be backfilled as well. AND we're still waiting on our landscape designer to finalize her plans....

So what happened? Well, a bit of plumbing, a bit of HVAC work, and the forms for the walls were delivered. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some more plumbing/HVAC progress.
