Our property is starting to look like a construction site. This past week, we had a pota potty delivered, my son-in-law, Mladen and I and built the "world best trash bin" out of 4 x 8 sheets of treated plywood and we had a temporary power pole installed by the electrical contractor.
I called in for my first inspection by the building inspector for the power pole which is a requirement by the power company before they will connect to it. Hopefully, CoServe Electric will run electrical service to the pole this coming week.
I met the owner of our concrete contractor at the site to discuss some last minute details and executed the contract at the site. The owner of the company indicated they will install the form boards for the foundation on Monday or Tuesday of this coming week. The foundation, with the required 15 foot piers, will represent 11 to 12% of my budget for the home. Despite what they say about the housing market, concrete and steel are not cheap.
I have arranged for our surveyor from Denton,TX to survey the form boards so that I can deliver documentation detailing the location of the proposed structures to the city.
