Our builder’s crew continued to work on the outside of the building. The stairs leading from the side deck to the yard were put in place. Inside, the electricians have started doing the rough-in wiring. They expect to be finished by Tuesday afternoon.

The weather finally warmed up enough to pour the footings and foundation for the pump room. However, the structural engineer is still requiring that the forms be covered with tarps and heaters run.

We received quotes from two companies to do stucco on the exterior walls up to the top of the first floor. The quotes were much higher than expected and it appears that it will be cheaper to use Hardie board as we had originally planned.
