Day 89 - schedule revisited...

Post recovered by Kevin! Many thanks, Kevin!!

We've had several cracks at the schedule (the last time being day 42, May 18th). According to that view, the truss installation would have been completed on June 28th. Given that the prep work for the main floor is still in progress, that is clearly not the case.

We sat down today and worked out the plan with Charles. We need to know the construction schedule in order to negotiate a closing date with any buyer for our current house. If the construction schedule does not follow this plan reasonably closely, then that could cause us a major problem.

So this is now the plan:

now to July 13th

Prep for main floor pour: install boots for electrical, plumbing, etc; install and tie double layer of wire mesh and Wirsbo heating tubing (more than 5 billion feet installed). In the basement, complete and inspect subfloor services (plumbing) in preparation for basement floor.

July 15

Order trusses (need 50% deposit)

July 14-22

In basement, install Insultarp over crushed rock, single layer of wire mesh, and Wirsbro tubing, pour concrete (pump hose will go through stairwell hole.

July 25-27

Complete backfill and rough grading, make plans to get rid of excess fill material.

July 28-August 12

Install ICF walls on main level.

August 15-September 2

Install wall plates (on top of walls as prep for trusses). Install trusses with hurricane ties, and roof sheathing installed. (The plywood we are reusing for the roof sheathing will cover about half the roof.)

September 6

Start shingling and interior work

September 12

Start installation of interior partitions and rough-in for mechanicals (electrical, plumbing).

September 23

Shingling complete, window and door installation complete -- now ready to drywall. After this, the exterior finishing work can proceed independently from the interior. This includes the following activities: installation of stone, stucco, soffits/fascia, septic, etc.

September 26-30

Pre-drywall inspections and final touches (e.g. sound insulation around bedrooms, laundry room, and bathrooms).

October 3-21

Install drywall. "Prime check" around Oct 19/20 to ensure no obvious issues with drywall installation. There is no stipple on the ceilings, so imperfections will be easily visible.
The cabinet supplier can come in and take final measurements at this stage.

October 24-28

Painting - except trim.

October 31-November 18

Installation of trim and flooring.

November 21-25

Installation of finish work for electrical and plumbing.

November 28th

We move in!!!!

Actually, that's just there to kid Charles.

November 28-January 13

Complete punch list.

January 20

Move date - yippee!!!

Well, now we shall see...

Finishing early is likely not a problem. Coming in late, however, would be a major problem, especially if we sell our house with a mid-January closing date.
