Addition Foundation

After more than a year of planning and too many delays to remember or count we finally have a foundation for our addition. Our master mason, Chad Morrison, showed up this morning, Saturday, with his brother and two helpers and built all the piers and the entire curtain wall in about 5 hours. And the finished product is certifiable modern majestic masonry art! Chad has a few minor things to finish up tomorrow (yes he’s working on Sunday, bless his heathen heart), but the work is complete for all intents and purposes (um, that would be to hold up the actual addition).

Tuesday our HVAC (heating, ventilation, and cooling) contractor is scheduled to install the new air conditioning condenser, and after that the electrician will wire it up, and then Peidmont Natural Gas will come (hopefully) Friday to move the gas meter (which now is within the walls of the new addition) to the outside of the addition.

Dudes, we’re like, reeeeeeeeeeealy excited about all this. Things are finally happening. It’s very possible in fact, that the addition could be framed and dried-in (windows, sheathing, and roofing installed) within two weeks.

So, like, text us if you want to party down and celebrate this most momentous occasion with us.

Bring your skateboard, dudes (and dudettes).
