July 2 Tape, Mudding, and Doors

July 2 Tape, Mudding, and Doors

by EmAre · Jul 2, 2019

July is showing lots more progress. We are seeing the dryway being taped everywhere. The doors at on site and standing in the rooms ready to be hung. We love the style of the doors with the large panel at the top.

The rains did do it’s thing on the fill around the foundation. I really hope this gets resolved before we close on the house.

The guest bath vanity is installed. This is really happening.

June 29 We Have a Porch

June 29 We Have a Porch

by EmAre · Jun 29, 2019

We have a font porch. Our own little piece of happiness in Sadsbury Township.

I took the time to grab a shot of Carol on the porch and some closeups of the porch framing. I just know I’m going to have to do something that requires me to run new wires or hang something heavy. Knowing where all the framing is really helps with that.

June 28 Rains Bring Mudslide

June 28 Rains Bring Mudslide

Rain, rain, go away. Come back when the grading is all completed. The rains DID come and created lots of wash-outs, large and small, all around the property. UGH. Not a pretty picture.

June 27 Stuff Is Arriving

June 27 Stuff Is Arriving

by EmAre · Jun 27, 2019

Its really cool to see things start to arrive. Not only are the walls getting their initial coats of joint compound, but the garage is full of cabinets, HVAC parts, trim, you name it.

We will ignore the flooding around the house for now.

June 25 WALLS

June 25 WALLS

by EmAre · Jun 25, 2019

What a surprise today when we arrived at our soon-to-be-new-home and found that there are walls in there! So exciting. Mind you, they are only framing at this point, but you can now see definition of the space.

This is really a neat feeling to see this happening. Check out a few pics we grabbed.

June 22 Insulation

June 22 Insulation

by EmAre · Jun 22, 2019

Today shows lots of different activities are in progress. The main water supple and drain is being connected to the house. It’s coming in right under my office. The insulation on the exterior walls and the roof is in place. Not surprising, the house is much quieter today. That’s a great thing.

The last 12 years we have lived on E Lancaster Ave in Downingtown Boro and listened to the reported 15K vehicles a day drive past the front of our house, less than 16′ from the front door.

The tub has found its place, as has the conduit for the whole house fan. The basement stairs are all framed out.

Excitement builds every day.

June 19 Pre-drywall Walk-thru

June 19 Pre-drywall Walk-thru

by EmAre · Jun 19, 2019

Today we had the pre-dryall walk -thru with Mike, our Ryan Homes project manager. Mike walked us aroudn the house and showed how things were being put together. He explained how the components were being assembled, what had already happened, what was planned to happen, and how long til closing we had to wait.

He urged us to take a bunch of pictures. We did grab a few, but Carol and I had been through the house on our own in the evening that we had more than enough pics of the framed out home. %-) Don’t tell Mike. That would play well.

Here’s today’s pics.
