Not sure I Agree

Hey All,

I like most of the house so far. Can not wait until the insides get done.

However there are a couple of things that I do not like.

Here is a photo is the sewer tube that heads out to the septic tank. Why is it allowed to be above ground?

Here is the location that the power company wants to have the power meter mounted. I want the meter mounted on the end of the house. This would help keep the backyard clean. It is only a few feet more. Berkeley Electric will not budge. Ugh!

Siding is on and Done

Hey All,

The siding company came Friday and Saturday. They put the siding on both ends of the house and fixed the broken pieces. When the house came in, several pieces of the siding were ripped off. During the lift of the house modules several pieces of siding were crushed.

Here is the completed pictures.

We have a roof

Hey All,

When I got home today, I found I have a roof on the house. We decided to go with a green metal roof. Should last longer.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the air conditioning unit was also install. To bad we do not yet have power to the house.

Block work not done yet.

Hello All,

My last post showed that the block was laid and ready to go. So I had thought. The block work was not done. Team came in to ‘finish’ the work. They put in more rebar inside the top of the block. Then they brought in another cement truck and filled all of the block creating on large fill. They even filled the center pillars. Once the concrete was in they added strapping into the pour.

By the time they were done, it was getting late. Not sure how well this will show.

Get Laid

Hello All,

As promised in my last post, here is the next phase of construction. Today’s photos show the blocks that were layered the will support the structure. Because this area is know as the “Low Country”, code calls for buildings to be raised above ground.

This is just a quick post. Nothing fancy. Most of the work was done before I got home.



At least we have a potty

Pouring the foundation

Hello All,

I have been delinquent with my postings of late. The whole family has been having colds. The problem is that they do not all come at once. For the last month we have been passing it around. Get sick, get well, get sick again.

But I have not been the only one. Mike over at Tillman Branch Photography admitted pretty much the same on his last blog post.

I have finally loaded up some more photographs showing up dates to construction.
This set is from last Thursday when the foundation was poured.

I will get caught back up now that I am feeling better.













When you look at the foundation layout without any walls, it sure looks small.
