Earlier this week they put in the framing for the supports for the garage foundation. The concrete will be poured tomorrow. The larger square is the original footprint of the garage. We then added an extension (called the “shed”) on the side towards the house, where we will store things like the tables and chairs for parties on the deck.

They have also finished the framing of the porch. The exterior openings will be large screens. There will be windows and a door between the game room and the porch. The area under the porch will be left open, and is where we will store the boats.

Here is the latest view of the waterfront. The water is way down, and people in our neighborhood community are complaining that the Conantum common dock is no longer useful for getting their boats into the river.

Here is an updated schedule.

  • Roof trim is complete
  • Roofing starts on July 9
  • Windows will be installed the weeks of July 14 and July 21
  • The basement slab will be poured as soon as the windows are done
  • The siding will be installed starting the week of Aug 4
  • Garage footing will be poured on July 10
  • Garage foundation will be poured during the week of July 14
  • Garage framing will be starts two days after the foundation is poured

On July 14th we do the electrical walkthrough, where we evaluate the placement of all lights, plugs, switches, Ethernet ports, and telephone ports. On July 21st we do the blocking walkthrough, where we identify the location for everything that gets attached to the walls, like coat racks, towel racks, toilet paper holders, floating shelves, etc. Basically anything where we need to add supports in the walls (so the screws go into real wood and not just plaster).
