July 7th status update -

Framing - The top floor is framed minus a couple interior doors, and the rooftop deck is on.... the view from up top is crazy - it is probably the tallest vantage point in the entire east side from the river up to Hwy 183. We are looking down on the old Mueller airport control tower, and are at least even with the highest top deck seats of the Longhorns football stadium (DKR).

External - Tyvek is over the whole house. Windows are on order and we are doing final prep for those in 2 weeks.

Electrical - wrapping up final tasks this week for the Rough Inspection with the COA. The panel is installed and the only wires left to run are the heavy gauge ones for stuff like the furnace and oven, and some of the top floor which we just finished framing.

HVAC - ducts have been run and their corresponding registers in the ceilings of the rooms. The minisplit is to be installed in the basement this week.

June 9th status update - We are dried in on the original house section, and we started on the top floor and rooftop deck. We have all the lumber onsite ready to finish that framing this next week! It is really cool up on the top perch and the adjusted layout is going to be epic (see mockup in the gallery below).

Exterior - More rocks & some dirt, the backside of the house is pretty much done - 9’x6’x30’ of backfill & drainage for basement. Next up: we have the driveway wall to do and the backfill project will be done.

Framing - Finished the roof including prep for soffit and tar paper (rufenfeltin). All sheathing also completed on front. The front house is now dried in for the first time in 2 years. On the back part of the house we extended sheathing all the way up to the top floor, which we have 50% framed the external. Next up: Finish the upstairs

—— IMAGES: mockups of the top floor, actual state of the top floor, roof finished and dried in, no good staging area for lumber so the front house is full.

May 19th status update - It was a wet couple weeks that set a few things back but we’ve used the time for prep and smaller misc tasks. As soon as our draw hits the bank on the 20th we’re ordering the rest of the roof decking, tyvek, siding, and rooftop deck trusses.

Exterior - 2nd dump truck of rocks for the basement backfill delivered and installed. Next up: finish the back wall and start on the final section. Probably 2 more dump trucks of rock.

Framing - Roofing rafters and more decking. HVAC duct runs. Closet and stair buildouts. Next up: Wrap it up. Literally. And roof decking finish and window order prep.

Electric - Interior done (all remaining lights and runs). Next up: Setting up panels and calling in for inspection.

HVAC - Furnaces and copper installed. Duct runs prepped. Next up: some dead time then running ducts.
