Independence

Finally, after some three weeks delay due to inspection failures, there’s some more progress at our new home.
We were told of an issue with the height inspection, presumably related to possible flood – but strange since our home is if anything a couple feet higher than the ones either side, that apparently had no issue! It’s also clear that part of the rear support wall had to be re-constructed (some sort of issue between the design drawings and the actual construction, apparently).

But now, Lennar are “full blast”, allocating two framing crews, so they can try and catch up our home to the rest of the row!

 

We visited the new home site on Thursday, and there had been no further progress – the blocks were still piled on the slab, but today, the ground floor walls are all built and complete! So less than a day to do all this (not surprising, a nearby home was having walls built and there were 8-10 crew working!) …

No doubt soon the upper floor and roof framing will be added, and then it will really start to look like a house!

Today’s visit to Independence shows us piles of sand, cement and blocks, ready to build the walls …
