The waterproofing has been completed, and preparations are being made for the basement and garage to be poured. There's a tiny pile of lumber next to the lot which almost certainly belongs to our house, but it's barely enough for a dog kennel. It's been raining most of the day, so everything's muddy and gross. It's possible they will do some backfilling tomorrow, but with rain expected on Saturday it's hard to be sure.
I spoke to the NVR mortgage guy today. He says the appraisal was ordered a few days ago and we can expect the results in about three weeks. Of all the things associated with this project, it is the appraisal that has us most concerned. Our house is being built in a fairly rural area, it's the first in the development (apart from the model home), it has quite a few options and there are very few comparables to help the appraiser arrive at a number. So we are at the appraiser's mercy, basically.
Anyway, what's with all this effing rain?
Eff the weather. Eff the rain. Glad you guys are finally on offing track though.
ReplyDeleteGod, what i wrote would have been so much cooler had auto-correct not messed it up.
ReplyDeleteA the race is neck and neck. ;-D
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! We were to "Break Ground" last Wednesday. I figured they would be on to the Framing ..... NOW. But because of rain, I'm still waiting for the forms to go up.
ReplyDeleteEff the rain?! You might want to check the forecast. Its calling for rain AND SNOW!!
ReplyDeleteI saw that. Effing snow in October. What's next, a plague of locusts?
ReplyDeleteRain stinks! We have been very lucky with the weather so everything has went quickly thus far. We are building a Dorsey Hall and the slab was just finished. Our lumber showed up today and I hope that the weather stays good long enough for them to get the framework done. It rained for 2 weeks straight before they started grading our lot. It's just a matter of time before we have nasty wet weather again and I am dreading it.
ReplyDeleteHope the rain skips you and they can continue working this weekend!
Now they are saying 2-4 inches of snow on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteyou guys are effing hillarious! But I feel your pain we kept getting hammored and ended up loosing 2 weeks but our PM made up the time and the workers worked through a few weekends.
ReplyDeleteCould be worse...you could be dealing with an Earthquake, Hurricane, and Tropical Storm...makes the rain seem nice!!!
