2 months into our build!

Hi again everyone. We are officially one month into our home build and what an adventure it has been so far to say the least! Follow along below for my update so far.

November 8, 2021:

We officially broke ground. My nephew Jack had a blast watching the "big machine dig nanties house". I set him up a station in the bedroom window so he could watch and also we spent some time sitting in the lawn chairs outside watching. See the pictures from the first few days.

November 15, 2021:

The excavator accidentally hit the gas line which triggered some excitement in the neighborhood. A couple of fire trucks, the WFN crew, the Fortis BC crew, ect ect lol. They had to close the road for awhile while they fixed the break. While the crew worked to fix this a HUGE rainstorm blew threw.

We got back on track and then we ended up discovering that the water main line was not even close to where it was supposed to be located and instead of it being on the easement of our property (by the sidewalk), it was actually quite a ways into our property line. We had to have the crews onsite to sort that out and luckily we ended up being able to just adjust the easement and continue with construction. And then it snowed. Luckily this time, it didn't last too long.

November 23, 2021- December 4, 2021: The foundation was prepped, poured and completed.

December 21, 2021: The flooring joists are on.

January 4, 2022: The walls are beginning to go up and it is officially starting to look like a house!

That is all of the updates that we have for now. The framers are working on another job this week and will hopefully be back at our place (and the second floor will hopefully arrive in a week).

And lastly, we would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. Wishing you all health and happiness for 2022 and thanks again for following along on our building journey!
