This week’s meeting was pretty short, mostly an update about where things stand. We did decide where to place the exterior sconce outside of the basement door. That decision needed to be made before the end of the week because it requires a hole to be drilled in the foundation, which will happen on Monday.

We did not decide where to place the outlets on the deck, but we will decide that when we visit the site this weekend.

Meanwhile, siding installation started up again today. Here is a picture of the piece that delayed the work the latest time. Not the green pieces, but the black strips.

And here is a picture of the construction crew starting installation.

Meanwhile, after the meeting with the architect and builder, I had a visit by a botanist. The botanist took a few pictures of the trees we planted and the area we cleared of invasive plants and he will write a report for the Concord Natural Resources Commission.

At the end of our weekly meeting, the builder outlined the upcoming schedule, which I have reproduced below in hopes that I have not jinxed things.

  • The propane tanks get delivered on December 2nd.
  • The kitchen cabinets get delivered at the end of December.
  • The siding installation will take approximately 6 weeks, so until the end of the year.
  • Once the siding is done, the deck surface will be installed.
  • The electrician will be working until mid January.
  • Then at the end of January, we will insulate the walls.
  • The interior walls should then be sealed up by the end of February.
  • Then the flooring can be installed.
