Drywall

Once the insulation goes up on the exterior walls you can begin to see the rooms take shape however you can still see between the interior walls so its still sort of hard to determine what each room actually looks and feels like. Once the drywall goes up the house seems to take a turn from a construction site to a home. You start to get a pretty good idea of exactly how big (or small) each room is and you begin to envision where the furniture is going to go and how functional each area would be. Some rooms start to look larger than you imagined, partly because of the white walls, while others look smaller now that they are closed in. Either way, the house is really starting to take shape and we are getting very excited to see real progress. This week we expect exterior stucco, drywall completion, and possibly garage and interior doors. Interior and exterior paint, and driveway and sidewalk should follow shortly thereafter. Our project manager told us way back during our pre-construction meeting that he plans to give us a weekly update to let us know what has been completed in the past week as well as what he expects to have completed in the week ahead however that has yet to happen. Not a big deal since I am able to make it out there at least 4-5 times a week, if not more. Also because our house is the last in a group of 5 I can usually tell what to expect based on what is going on with the others.
