Progress?

I think so!

Last time I posted a construction update we were drywalling and insulating the ceiling. Since then some progress has been made:

The electrical rough in (except for the basement) is all done
The groundwork for the plumbing is completed, and the toilet drains are installed
The insulation in the house is done (they are working on the garage insulation right now, and it should be done today!!)
The ductwork in the house is about 70% completed (he is also working on the house right now)

So yup, we have had some progress.

We are actually pretty much on schedule right now. I think this is the first time that's happened since we started. I predict that this new phenomenon isn't going to last though. We are having problems with our plumber showing up to work and when he does show up he only works for a couple of hours at the most. We are at the point where we are calling him daily to see if he is going to show up and he has every excuse in the book as to why he won't be coming that day. We have been lucky that our plumbers are the only trades that we are having this problem with. Everyone else has been flexible and has basically shown up when we needed them to. If he doesn't show up on Monday we are going to look into hiring a different plumber or trying a different plan of attack to get the original plumber to actually show up. If he doesn't show up early next week our schedule is going to be delayed.

Once the plumber is done his work we can proceed with inspections and then drywall!! I know I have said this before but I am soo excited to be done drywalling and painting. It is actually going to look like a house someone could live in, instead of a construction site.
