Time to pick the bricks!

[kom526]

My builder called this evening and said that basement digging begins on Monday and that we need to pick our bricks for the foundation. If the weather holds the floor gets poured in 2 weeks!! We are 13 months after the perc test so 2 weeks is a blink of an eye.

What area?

 

[kom526]

7th district, deep in the heart of God's country.

How lucky can ya get....I'm over here too....We get razzed a lot but it is quiet....I'd rather be here than LP or Great Mills areas....We have a lot to offer over here but people are scared to explore this area...Sometimes though, I can see why....

 

[kom526]

I'm from the south end (Dameron) and I happened to have lucked out and got this property. I wanted 1 of 2 things, waterfront or 10+ acres. I got the waterfront.

Creek, River or Bay?

River, in fact the view from the waterside will be of Blackistone Island.

NO but Moms car looks just like it (without the junk)....Have you seen inside of that thing? I don't know why she doesn't get pulled over....That is crazy....

Sounds like Coltons Point area....Your wife probably grew up with one of us...Before anyone else mentions it, it will probably be one of the younger ones....I was down there many, many years ago...I knew the woods and shoreline like the back of my hand...

Nahhh...no debris. You're neighbor to another brother too. What's your wifes first name? I bet we know her.

 

[kom526]

She grew up in Abell. You can't miss our lot or as I like to call it "or dirt."

I know exactly where you are. I saw the footings. C'mon....what's her name?? PM me. Maybe I have some stories on her for ya....

I just got back with meeting w/ my builder and the excavating sub. Digging will DEFINITELY commence on Monday! We have our foundation brick picked out and on Saturday we picked 4 options for the front door and 2 options for cabinets and countertops. Now to hope for a minor drought until after they at least get the roof on.

[kom526]

we have a winner!! I'm from Dameron. MIL's maiden name was Hammond, her mother lived in the little brick house next to my lot. The son, Buddy, and his sons still own the house. The fridge will always be stocked!

Basement walls are done, floor was poured on Thursday (13 Apr) posts and beams were set on the 14th...
Framing should begin on 24th:crossedfingers:

 

[kom526]

Framing has started! All joists for the 1st floor are in. We have 9 ft ceilings in the basement, my own B-Ball court and bowling alley! Hopefully by the end of the month the REAL work will begin.
