Monday March 22nd

We met with Jim today to go over the schedule and budget for the project. Jim provided an estimate at the beginning of the project where he projected the total cost plus or minus 10%.
Our project required some intense labor because of the unexpected discovery of the joist and other challenges of the bump out that were difficult to estimate. To Jim's credit, he will not go beyond the projected cost of his project estimates. This is how he has conducted his business for the last 30 years. We are extremely happy with the quality of the work, the speed in which it is getting done, as well as the professional nature of his team. We highly recommend Jim.

So the good news is that they are beginning to sheet rock walls. As you can see from the picture below they have removed the wall between the old and new house


Jim's crew installed a door on the front gable to keep the cold out- it has dropped into the teens here.


Below is the rear of the house, where the slider will go in the master bedroom.
