Builder Meeting

We met with our Builder at the site today. Cliff had asked to meet since I had emailed to him with several questions. We went over my punch list and I got answers to several of my questions. Cliff said that he would have the Master Shower plumbing moved to fix the bad location problem.

We also discussed and agreed on the exact location for the "Media Junction Box", which in LoMD is different than in previous Pringle communities. It is a true junction box, where the cable, internet, and phone inputs terminate, and the runs for cable, telephone, and internet to all the rooms terminate. We had decided to locate our Media Junction Box in the Laundry Room, on the side wall of the pantry we moved there from the Kitchen. It is in an area where I will have clear access to the panel.

After discussing my punch list, we talked about the construction plans for the next two weeks. Finally, we talked about a time range for completion. Cliff thought we would likely be finished in the range of the last week of October to the first week of November. With the post-closing improvements we want to do, that means we should be moved in to our new home by the end of November. The actual Pringle construction timing, if Cliff's estimate holds, will be 4 1/2 to 5 months from start of construction. While I hope we can still do better, I'm beginning to feel more comfortable about getting it done and in by year-end.

While we were meeting, the trades were continuing to work on the framing and on installing the roofing paper.
