Perspective

At this point of the construction phase, a lot happens in a short period of time. So today my husband John and I just returning from out of town, couldn't wait to swing by the construction site to see the progress. Finally we now see a complete roof line on the main house (a very nice perspective). We can even see a complete roof line on the carriage house. We were able to climb the stairs to see how the upstairs spaces looked and felt of the main house. Today we could rest, however I have alot to do to stay ahead of the builders. Hardware for all the doors was ordered last week. Windows have been ordered. Now I am finalizing the plumbing and electrical selections and plans, although preliminary work had been done. They will soon need the plumbing valves that are installed before the trims are. I have to anticipate what all needs to be at the site before the drywall is installed. It's important to stay a bit ahead of the builders so that at some point they aren't waiting on selections from me, which is usually the case in residential construction. 

We are entering my favorite season in the low country, the summer. Most of our members are from up north and will be packing up. Yes it will be hot here soon and the bugs will come out in droves to welcome us. But right now sitting on the screened porch we can hear a faint sound of the crickets and tree frogs. It will become a symphony by the time June arrives and we will see way more progress on the house. Stay tuned.
