Sivarajan Custom Home
This week was about sealing walls (water proofing) and excavation. A LOT of dirt was moved from the front of the house to the garage side and back of the house. Footings will be dug early this next week for the retaining walls needed for the garage and footings should ready to pour by end of week.
Framing for house is pretty much completed; electrical has started; plumbing has started. The lot has been cleared to prepare for excavation for garage which needs to happen to accommodate the walls to contain the garage area and for the garage footings. This week electrical and plumbing will continue and walls will be sealed -waterproofed- so dirt for garage pad can be adjusted accordingly. Excavation for garage is being scheduled for this week or next.
Block walls for the house have been completed and passsed inspection and are ready for grouting. Grouting will allow for the final framing to be completed within the next few weeks. Schedule will partially depend on who takes how long off for New Years. Have a Happy New Year : )
Framing and block work continues and almost complete. Electricians have started on the lower floor. Next up windows, more block work for driveway and backfill.
Framing, framing, and more framing. Plus some clean-up.
Trusses arrived on Wednesday and by Friday were almost completed. Should be totally completed by early next week. Staircases from lower floor to upper floor have also been added.
This week’s post deserved two posts; one for the overall construction and one for the views. The views are gorgeous and are from just about every room. Framing is ready for trusses and trusses are scheduled to be delivered the day before Thanksgiving.
Here are some of the views from the upstairs level. Unlike the above slideshow, this set of photos is not on auto scroll so you can just click the arrow to scroll through the images.
Second story framing is almost complete and ready for trusses. Trusses should be ready in the next week or 10 days. Rain during this week will slow things down a bit, but the project is moving at a steady pace with no major issues. Dumpster was ordered and lot has been cleaned of excess debris.
