Progress Report: Week 4- Shingles, HVAC and Plumbing

My oh my has it been a great week of progress at the house!!

I really thought that things would slow down now that framing has come and gone... but it hasn't!
There has been a bit more framing that has happened since last week..

Starting the week off....

They put the stairs in from the basement last week and we had ventured into the basement and "looked up"....

Well, we got more adventurous (and curious) and took those stairs up to check out the inside of the house.... I seriously think that each time we visit I fall more and more in love with this house.



We waited until Tuesday to go out to see how things were going, as we were told shingles were to be delivered and put on this week as well.

Well, the shingles were delivered on Monday.  I did a quick drive-by Monday to check them out...

I wasn't expecting to see the shingles ON the roof in piles, haha! I figured they'd be hanging out on the side of our house waiting.  But nope! There they are, in all their glory!

Our next trip out to the house was on Thursday.  I knew the shingles had been completely put on because I drove the highway home and could see them from the road.  So, we decided to head on out to see everything.  According to our PM, once the shingles had been put on, they would be starting HVAC, plumbing and electric.

And that they did!  HVAC had been started.  All sorts of stuff had been installed in the ceiling! Vents were on the floors and some other air-type hardware had been installed between the first and second floors, as well as the basement!

THEN! We went out today after the Reds game.  We weren't expecting a TON of progress, but there most definitely was!

Lots more HVAC stuff.  Equipment was installed in the basement.  Plumbing had also been started!!!!  Bathtubs were installed!  It's all so so so so so so so amazing!

Check out the photos:

This is actually looking UP.  We are on the first floor, so this is plumbing for the second floor

Plumbing stuffs for the kitchen and bathroom off of the family entry way.

This part really makes me mad.  These are our blue prints.  They were crumbled up like this in the garage last week.  This week, they're in the family room.  All crumbled and just a mess.  If you watch the video I posted later on... you'll hear me say some bad words regarding these plans.

We're calling this weird thing our banana phone.  It appears like its for electrical somethings, but for us- its the banana phone.

HVAC stuff.  This one is in the second bedroom

More HVAC stuffs

This is in the master bedroom

We loved seeing that our bathrooms had the bath tubs installed today!  This is the hall bath

can you see that gorgeous SOLD sign in the window!

And do y'all want a laugh for a second?? All the stuff with the center island, and the island I can't have... and we noticed that on the floor, they've marked where the island is that we are getting.....  Sigh.

And!  As an added bonus.....

We bought a Go Pro not that long ago so that we could video us during Opening Night Ceremonies for the Reds, because we got to hold a big giant flag on the field during the National Anthem.

Anyways- we decided to take the Go Pro to the house with us today and we took video of the house as we walked through it!

Fair warning! I do drop an F-bomb a few minutes into the video.  So if you don't like that kind of thing or get offended, it's probably best to watch the video with your sound off, or just not watch it.

But- you really should watch it.  It's fun, the commentary has me cracking up, and it's OUR house.  It's amazing!

The email from our PM at the end of this week told us that they'd continue HVAC, electric and plumbing this week and next, and then we would have our pre-drywall the following week!!!!!!!

So much excitement!  And we are seriously loving this home and can't wait for the next things to be done!!!
