WahooSteeler Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 about 1/3 mile from the current place, same subdivision, just up and over the back hill ;) By my reckoning, we oughta be "moved" in about 3 hours, give or take... More time for the beer drinking then!! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 well, it's official.....the first load of driveway base got dumped today. Construction has officially begun Jeff I hope you went and took the MJ and YJ over there and flexed on the rock piles :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Keeping the Dream Alive :waving: . I need to start hinting about vacation times at work - none taken in two years. Are you still thinking late spring/early summer? - Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 if all goes as planned and the spring weather cooperates, we're shooting for a mid-June closing and move-in, Rich. C'mon up...I'll beer ya up, and feed ya 'till you can't move anymore (that is, AFTER we get everything moved :yes: ) Construction guys were on their game here this past week.....they saw the weather report and decided to dig the foundation and pour the footer last Thursday, before the storm hit us. If not, we'd have been set back about 6 days, thanks to the 1.5" of rain we got on Saturday and the 10" of snow we got Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Making good progress, so long as the weather holds out….still shooting for a mid-June move in :D started with two loads of #57 for the driveway base: Image Not Found footer poured, foundation started last week: Image Not Found Image Not Found foundation done: Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Jeff, did you get them to put 2 bays down below on the backside? :yes: Totally awesome to see it come along, no more wrenching in the driveway! What will you end up with, about 2300-2600 sq.ft. it looks like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 no, not quite that big (although they have models in that range, to up over 3000 ft/sq). Ours comes in right at about 2000.....which is plenty of house for me and the missus, plus the three gatos. It's about 450 more than our current house, plus the garage. Did I mention the garage? Oh yeah, there's the garage too..... :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Did I mention the garage? Oh yeah, there's the garage too..... :chillin: Yea.......But, that don't look like a 4 bay garage :hmm: And is the floor thick enough to support the 2 post lift??? And with the floor already poured, did you plan on the drain grade down the center? I take it the hard air lines will be dropped out of the ceiling. :rotfl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 LOL Wildman......I lost the post-lift option when we decided on the bonus room overhead for the missus :fs1: House is coming along nicely, and the weather is cooperating so far……now that the roof is on and the doors/windows are in, rain isn’t so much a concern until we’re almost done and the driveway and walkways get poured and the landscaping goes in.

WahooSteeler Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Looks great! I love new construction, just watching it come together. I guess since it's not complete, you couldn't give us the obligatory "what's in the fridge" for all us views here on the triple C..................."Yo Comanche Club Cribs!" :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSimon Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I don't mean to judge you or anything man ..... but maybe its not a good idea to keep your wife locked up in the bonus room above the garage. :no: Great looking house by the way!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Jeff, I assume by the comment that wifeypoo gets the bonus room, she has no part of the garage?? Because, I don't know about your arrangement, but NORMALLY the MAN gets the bonus room to create his man cave. That's why it's called a "bonus room". The wife gets the whole house to do with what she pleases, but if the man wants a room to do something with, it can't be part of the regular house so you get (1) ONE extra room, or bonus room. Then there are certain "automatics" assigned to each member of the marriage. Such as.......master bedroom = wife. Garage = husband. These are non-negotiable. Now, since you are the cook of the house, I assume you had some say in the kitchen so maybe that's why you gave up some of your manhood with the bonus room? :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Judging by the height of the garage door in the pic, I think youre gonna have to lower your MJ, because with it lifted, it aint never gonna fit through that door! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Don't worry......I measured that carefully, trust me :yes: . There's a strip of housewrap across the top that needs to be cut a bit, so it looks a bit deceiving. But, the garage door (when opened up) sits about 9" from the top of the framing :shake: . If my calculations are correct, I *should* have about 3" of clearance to get it in and out :brows: Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Image Not Found Awesome progress . Now we will need to recreate that picture with around 4 or 5 more MJ's from the CC :thumbsup: . I like the look of 35's on the mj - Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbliley Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Any progress on this????? What are the dates we need to pencil in for the first meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 the scheduled close date is June 29th, but we're about 2 weeks ahead on the construction schedule up to last week........the rain put a couple days of delay in because the driveway and walkway couldn't be poured. They're all framed out and ready to go, hopefully they pour today. I'm estimating the weekend of the 20th, if all else goes as planned :clapping: Jeff p.s. where the h@ll have you been? gimme a call....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
