Factory Progress

The sheetrock is going up along with the roofing. Irontown has scheduled the final inspection for June 29th, which is two weeks from today. The final inspection is when the house is complete and the inspector approves their work. Once approval is issued, the house is ready to be tied down, braced and wrapped.

The modules were going to leave the factory the first Monday of June which would be on July the 4th. Every year on Independence Day, there is a lot of traffic on the I-5, as well as an obligitory brush fire, so it's been moved back a week. The modules will leave the factory on the 11th of July, they'll arrive in on the 12th and we can start setting them on the 13th. So July 13th looks like the tentative date.

Foundation Contractor (again)

He hasn't showed up for work this week. David left a couple of messages for him that remain unanswered. We think he hasn't come to the site this week because we didn't pay him his second installment on the day of the footings pour. There was a bit of miscommunication on the contractor and David's part. David didn't realize it was "due" at the very moment the concrete was poured. Instead, he put in a draw for the following work day in anticipation for the impending installment. Anyway, I think that it is probably our fault but I wish he was more communicative.

Septic System

Since we have an extra week before the modules arrive, we're going to install the septic system as soon as the foundation is completed. We hope to hire the same guy who excavated our footings and cleared the property. He lives down the street from the property and he gets the job done at reasonable rates, on time and without incident. Eventhough we've found lower bids for the septic system, we're starting to see the value in having less people involved.
