Most of the insulation is complete and it’s about time to close these walls up and begin drywall. We’ve added interior sound insulation since these pics were taken to keep the bedrooms and other spaces quiet inside the envelope.

I feel sorry for the drywall guys sometimes. This is one of those times. These guys will be busy for a while on this one.

Great thing about this stage of a build is that’s it’s a tipping point. We’re headed downhill now; a ton of work to accomplish but each stage in the sequence from here out adds another layer of the finished product and we get to finally see how the individual spaces look and feel.

We’ve also completed most of the exterior masonry…. and no, that’s not the exterior siding color (somebody always asks). It’s the factory applied primer. Final color TBD.

Stay tuned!

Just a few exciting pics of holes in the dirt but…..we’ll start backfill early next week; filling, watering, compacting and testing as we go. Little different project this time in that we get to add a great shop/barn/man cave as part of the deal. I think my excavator may use all the water in Denton County to get the moisture right in this one.

Within a couple of weeks we’ll get the form boards on the ground and get to it. Should be going vertical with this build within a few weeks. Stay tuned!

Looks like a lumberyard around here at the moment but in the middle of the chaos is progress. Big house but big progress every day. It’s finally starting to look like the home it will become over the following months.

Someday soon, those bundles of lumber, rafters and LVL’s will on the house and not on the ground but we’re getting there a little more each day. Every day building is a good day. Stay tuned.

It’s about time! In more ways than one; some of you know what I’m talking about. In past posts I’ve alluded to a certain jurisdiction that makes building anything an act of Congress. Everyone can take as many guesses as they want to. Have fun.

This project started over three years ago. BTW, I’ve requested that the brass statue of me be placed by the main gate entrance for all to see as they enter the project that gave me more grey hair than I already had.

I have to say, I don’t mind a good fight from time to time for projects that are worth the fight. When a jurisdiction attempts to make it nearly impossible to build for an owner that has sunk all they have into their dream, I’m in. All the way in. Now the fun part. More to come as we go.

With our homes, we treat the walk-in attic spaces and garages as more than a necessary utility space.

The attic spaces are decked, well lit and useful. In all cases, these areas are comfortable year round due to them being within the sealed foam insulation envelope. We go a step further by providing an HVAC supply and return in these spaces to keep the air fresh and control any humidity.

In most cases, the air handlers and tankless water heaters will be located in these environments. A walkable, well lit space makes access to mechanical and plumbing equipment easy to access and service.

Our garage walls are insulated as are the garage doors. Depending on what’s above, the ceiling/floor deck can/will be insulated as well. Many times, garages become additional entertainment spaces. Ensuring that the environment stays comfortable is important to us and our clients.

A clean jobsite makes everything better (and it lowers the builder’s BP). Look good, feel good! Windows are in, and we have a few interior framing details to complete.

Once our plumber is done with top out, we’ll get the roof on the house. We’ll be installing our doors as they arrive and get the house buttoned up and dried in as we move into Fall.

The HVAC, electricians and network contractors will be right behind the plumbers. Won’t be long before we’re ready to seal and insulate.

Pour day
Time to go vertical
LET’S GO!

Words don’t really do justice to the size of the great room in this house. It’s a great space and one that most of the living will happen in. Holidays, entertaining friends, homework, everyday dinners, movie nights and memories will happen in this space over the coming decades. One of the greatest things about this insane profession I’ve chosen is that you get to build the spaces where life happens. It never gets old; exhausting sometimes, but never routine.

Next one up! We’ll be drilling piers within the next week and start making up time with this long running project. If you’ve never built a home before, you’d be shocked at the time it takes to go from plans to construction (certain jurisdictions make it a sport I think). This particular project; three years.

I’ll leave that story for another day; but for now, we’re happy to be making progress and getting this dream built for a great client.

About ten hours of pouring, finishing and stamping and this slab is on the ground and ready to be built on. From a sheet of notebook paper to reality.

Many of them start that way but in any case, what was once an idea has now become reality and we couldn’t be happier to start this build and get rolling. Stay tuned for progress pics as we get into construction and tell us what you think.
