I Love It When a House Comes Together

When we got to the site today, we almost didn't recognize our house. Not only had the trusses been delivered and put up over the week, the roof and shingles had been installed. It looks like a real house. So much so, I almost drove right by when we got there.

Inside, the sub floorboards and basement were bone dry. The entire week had been rain-free but they must have pumped out the basement and did something to draw the water out of the wooden flooring. There was some slight puckering of the floorboards in the loft but I think it can be easily remedied. Otherwise, the builder and I will have a little conversation.

So, Kerry and I can actually start to envision where stuff will go in the house. There is PVC piping in the garage along with the front porch pillars. So I would assume that would be going in next. We really need to get the pre-drywall orientation scheduled and start taking to the lender about the setting a closing date.

Don't let anything settle puckered in the house! Fight 'em to the death. Unpucker the puckering! That could cause a kid to trip on his rollerskates down the staircase, even if its under the carpeting!
