Right now, as I’m writing this, it is 57 degrees.
On January 30th. In Kentucky.
For a home builder, that kind of weather is pure gold. So why do we continually look up at the sky fearfully? Because we are watching for the golden egg to hit us in the head!!
Seriously, what Mother Nature giveth, she taketh away. But until that happens we are going to press forward as hard as we can!
Our LaGrange Road project saw the mechanicals roughed in last week (electric, plumbing, HVAC), the rafter tails and roof installed, and the insulation went in today! Tomorrow drywall is being delivered. And hopefully the two windows that were a late add on – we’ve been waiting four weeks on those, so yay!! And as long as this awesome weather holds out, we are pushing to get the exterior finished. That includes the stone fireplace, the Hardie siding, and all those neat details that make this home special.
Our Southern Parkway project is moving forward, albeit more slowly. We finally, finally got the plans in for the carriage house going in the backyard and then proceeded to get a major run around from the Department of Codes and Regulations in lieu of the building permit.
Thanks, guys. No, really! Thanks! ‘Cause soon we are going to be able to apply online which will totally remove the snarky factor.
The new Anderson 400 widows are installed (Beautifully so!) in the original part of the house, the new addition is almost totally framed up…just waiting on a gazillion pound steel beam to hold up the new roof and then we’ll be onto inside things.
This week we will be working on the permitting for the carriage house and tearing off the old plaster in the original part of the house. I will have a second shopping trip with the homeowner to look at granite for the kitchen and baths. Last week our shopping trip was most productive; we did kitchen cabinets, hardwood flooring, and started on tile for the baths.
It appears we are going to disagree widely on the backsplash in the kitchen.
I wonder if I’ll be able to stay quiet and let them choose the one they want.
Doubt it. Timeless classics! Stick with the timeless classics!
Aside from those two projects, we’ll be full steam ahead on three bids and working on the design for the new Show Home!
Coming soon to Elk Creek Ridge in Spencer County!
This photo is of the cabinets I want in my kitchen. They are on display at Chris’s Custom Cabinetry. I want them so bad I almost laid on the island in the showroom refusing to move until they were made for my house.
Still wondering if that would work…
And, sorry about the poor picture quality.
It is just so easy to use the camera on my iphone!
So what’s going on in your life? Update us in the comments!
