Moderators Psychorugby Posted July 5, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Went by yesterday to start wiring the downstairs living room for speakers. That is far more of a pain in the ass than I would have thought, especially since I had the genius idea to wire three zones. I'll be going back tomorrow to finish the living room and do the garage. I have to get it all done tomorrow since we are having the pre-drywall inspection Monday morning. They wanted to do it this past Tuesday, but I hadn't done my wiring yet haha. That means we'll have insulation and drywall next week and who knows what when I get back from Hawaii in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted July 8, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Got the downstairs and upstairs living rooms wired for 7.1 surround, and the garage and lanai wired for stereo this weekend! The superintendent this morning said my friend and I did good work too which was cool. Framing and Tyvek are being inspected today, insulation tomorrow, and drywall hung by the end of the week assuming they can find enough hangers. While we're in Hawaii he said they should get the stucco done as well. From that point, he said 30-45 days until we get our house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The super pointed out today that he had the electrician install 5 more GFI outlets in the garage than the plans called for since he knew I planned to spend a lot of time out there. I am so ready to have my own parking spot again, and have room to work on the Mustangs. Then maybe I can catch up to all of y'all's badass builds.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted July 23, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 We got back from vacation this past weekend and the drywall was up, but I forgot to take pictures since I was so mad one of my HDMI cables had fallen in the wall. Fortunately, the superintendent said he will fish it out for me. Drove by yesterday and they had started stucco:I have to go down that way to pick up a prescription, so I am hoping to take some more pictures today.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted July 24, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Since this started off as a design my garage thread and not watch me build my house...How should I decorate this monster? My parents got me a bad ass "Hot Rod Garage" V8 shaped neon sign for Christmas that is going to be right at home in the workshop area. My in-laws also got me a 24" LEDTV that is pretty awesome for hooking my laptop up to for YouTube instructions lol, but now I have DirecTV in the new garage! I am on the lookout for a decent BF Goodrich banner or two, but don't know of any other cool banners. I'd love a CJPP or LMR banner since they've sold me half the parts for my two cars.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted July 29, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Went by Saturday since I had to pack yesterday to leave town (in Cincinnati for the week if anyone is nearby). They had all the walls textured, the baseboards installed, and the stair railing installed. The only picture worthy item is the stair railing. Originally, we were supposed to have this stained a darker brown, which neither of us was thrilled about since we are installing some driftwood colored floors. The piece of wood they used for the railing was beautiful and will match the floors really nicely. Our superintendent is really cool and agreed to just seal the railing instead of stain it. The painters are there already working on the interior and I think the exterior as well.My wife will kill me, but this is just funny. The front door really makes her look short!

I'm not excited about all the empty space and having to spend tons of money to fill it... but I am really excited for my cars to have their own place, especially since my X5 got towed from the townhouse this week while I was out of town. I can almost see the Mustangs on the lift and the motor out of the 95!Stone should be up soon, and the granite installed as well. I can't wait to see the granite; we picked out some really cool stuff for the island in the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a couple minor grievances to sort out with the builder, but it's really coming along. I can't wait to move in and get started on ripping out the floors and bathrooms since the builder charges so much. Wish I could see the look on the neighbors' faces when I gut a brand new house.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted August 14, 2013 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) So much up sprinkled witha little down :/ bummer snout the island. Construction guys fault?Posted via Topify using AndroidNo idea. The super said it wasn't broken when he left. We got there about 5:30 yesterday afternoon, so it happened in a window of a few hours. I'm sure they'll get it fixed. It just sucks because my wife and I picked that piece of stone specifically for the island. I'm hoping we'll get to re-pick out all new slabs so the whole kitchen matches (and in a McWorld, they let me keep the old stuff so I can put it in the laundry room or pantry). I've already started writing stuff down for final inspection since my dad is having surgery next week and won't be able to come and now my friend who has been without a job just accepted an offer and probably won't be able to come. I need a second set of super anal retentive eyes.nice house!Thanks! This thread was supposed to be about the garage, oh well.
