Framing nearly complete

Hello one and all!!

We hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

It's been awhile since we've posted updates. The Holidays slowed things down quite a bit as expected. Things are starting to pick up again as we poured our basement slab, finished framing, and the electricians, plumbers, and HVAC crew's have been here all week doing there rough-in's.

Next week the weather is going to get EXTREMELY COLD so if everything goes as planned, insulation will be here on Tuesday so we don't have to work in -30 temps!! BRRRRRRR

Update:

The last week has gone fast!! We are happy to report that everything is progressing nicely!! In the first week we have dug a hole, put in footing, set and pour foundation walls, waterproof and insulate the basement, and put in drainage tile to keep our basement dry :)
