I got an update from the architect today with the current expectations for the next two months and I wanted to share the schedule of interior work with my small handful of regular readers.

  • Weeks of March 16 and 23:
    • Remaining internet and other low voltage wiring (speaker, cameras, etc.)
    • Electrical rough inspection
    • Fire stops and framing inspection
    • Fire department inspection
  • Weeks of March 23 and 30:
    • Insulation installation
    • Blower door test
  • Weeks of April 6, 13 and 20:
    • Hang wall boards and plaster

Outside, I hope we get the missing siding hardware delivered so they can finish the siding and start work on the gutters. Then we wait for the ground to thaw so they can connect the gutters to the underground water collection pipes (some of which need to be moved).

I also got the confirmation that the front door will be two steps up from ground level. And the deck will also be two steps up from ground level. For the deck and pantry door, we will have portable ramps that can be installed should we need wheel chair access to the house.

Here is the architects plans for the breezeway area where you can see the two steps up. The deck is at elevation 133′ above sea level, ground (front walk) is at elevation 132′ 1.5″, and there is one intermediate step between those two elevations. You can also see where the future ramps (if needed) will be located as well as the turning circle for a wheel chair.
