Happy Seventh of July from The Triple V

Hey folks, sorry I missed the 4th! Got lots of questions on whether we spent the whole weekend working at the property. The good (and bad) news is that we did not.
The OB has been ready for a roof since the prior weekend...we were just waiting on the 2nd floor of the house to be finished up so that the truss folks could come out and measure both at the same time.

As of last Thursday, the house is ready for measurements. My lumber yard contact told me no one was working Friday (the 3rd) so the measurements would be done Monday. Monday came and went, as did Tuesday. The new plan is for them to come out tomorrow morning. Then we wait about 5 days for them to be built and delivered. Everyone knows how much I LOVE to wait...

Looking from the master bedroom past the 2 walkin closets (to each side) into the master bathroom. Beyond is the back of the bonus room (where the window is).

 

This afternoon we met with the plumber to check out the basement and where all the mechanicals will go. He and the HVAC guy met earlier and made a good recommendation. So, the plumber will do the slab plumbing tomorrow and told me to call in the inspection for Friday. That's progress people!
I also have a call into the FB Bill (concrete guy) because we are ready for porch and house garage to be poured. And actually once we pass slab plumbing inspection we'll be ready for basement too!

Sidebar: Our electrician's name is Jim Smith and the plumber's name is Rob Johnson. No joke. Could these names be any more common! I almost thought they were kidding me.

Sidebar #2:  1st invoice from the lumberyard came. Cha-ching.

So don't expect much this week, but next week when the roof is going up and hopefully more of that beautiful (expensive) gray stuff is being poured, I should have some fun updates and pictures.

Nighty night.
