Construction Site Walk-through

A month ago we visited the construction site of our townhouse. They had just begun the framing that week and were going to put on the roof the next day. It wasn't much to look at but we were excited anyway because they were making progress.


Our unit is on the bottom of the building, floors 1 and 2. Looking at the back, our garage is on the left. There is another unit above us, it starts on the third floor, you have to walk up two flights of steps just to get to your living room.


So today we were able to visit our new home and do a walk-through inspection of the framing, electrical, plumbing and window installation with the builder.

The front

Our lot is #89, this is our living room window and our front-door. The ground was very muddy because of all the melting snow.



So much progress in such a short time, it was very exciting


The back


In order to go inside the construction zone we were required to wear hardhats. Josie kept reaching up and touching them so finally I let her put mine on.


Mindy is looking stylish in hers.


It was an interesting experience to be able to see where all of the outlets, plugs and other receptacles will be. Also to know which walls are load bearing and which ones have pipes running through them.

They will begin hanging drywall this week and should be all finished by the end of next month or the first week of April. We'll get to do another walk-through right before closing.

Here are some pictures of what it looks like now.

On the other side of that wall is the stairs for the upstairs unit

We have a box window that can be a seat.
