At this point in the project you can really see the “bones” of the house. It’s also not surprising at this stage to see a few items that can’t be seen until the walls are down. In this case we’ve found a few areas that are not insulated properly along with a few framing surprises. The good news is that there is nothing that will keep the project from moving forward.
The next few weeks of a project like this show a lot of visible progress. Walls go up, windows get installed and the roof goes on. These are very apparent signs of progress that are easily seen by contractor and homeowner alike. Once these phases are done, progress continues but it’s not as apparent. The rough plumbing, wiring and HVAC work are as crucial to the house as the new roof or windows. However, more wires in the walls or new plumbing pipes don’t give the same feeling of progress as new walls.
When you’re doing a project of any size, don’t be surprised if sometimes things seem to be rocking forward and sometimes crawling. A good contractor keeps the project moving at all stages. Some are just easier to see than others.
