Maybe? -Day 56

We were told yesterday that the framers might come out and do some work - like fix the fireplace (paid for 2x6 construction, but built with 2x4 construction). This isn't a big deal because we caught it in time and we were assured it would be fixed. No one showed, though. So, we are hoping some work gets done today. After a phone call with our project manager yesterday morning, the plan is to finish framing by Friday. Shingles will be delivered Monday and they will start the roof. Our project manager says he is really pushing to hand the keys over to us by December 20th, which would be great for many reasons...we are crossing our fingers.

Nothing - Day 52

Our framers won't be here with a crane until Tuesday or Wednesday to start the roof because they are in Michigan fixing damage from the storm. We are lucky that it doesn't look like we got much damage, if any. It does concern us that our house will be open to the elements for so long, but it did dry out considerably today.

 Our project manager told us he thinks we will be done with the house by Mid-December. Our 110 day guarantee date has us in by Mid-March (but this is not in writing anywhere yet that we know of). These dates are a little odd to us, but hopefully our project manager is right. We have really enjoyed working with him and everyone at Wayne Homes. So far, the work looks good and we/our neighbors have been impressed at the quality of their work, their materials, and the overall outcomes. At this moment, we just wish their schedules were a little more consistent and they had enough crews to make that happen. We have had about as many days of no work as we have had days of work... And two half-Saturdays that our kids absolutely adored. We remain positive and hopeful that we made the right decision to choose Wayne Homes despite these factors. When the crews are here, they get A LOT done in a little amount of time! Here's to hoping we can spend Christmas in our new house!
