Wow, they are doing the work with it this cold out? Looks good!

Re: House Projects
 

Thats what i thought also. They just started last week ha. Today nothing was done because of the this awesome Minnesota weather we are having right now.

Re: House Projects
 

yeah mn frost is awesome for construction

Re: House Projects
 

Surprized they are digging the foundation while its this cold out, wont they have problems getting the concrete to cure?

Re: House Projects
 

That's what the blankets are for. ;)

Concrete guys always work year round. People don't just stop building in the winter.

Re: House Projects
 

Just takes longer, the biggest issue is those frost chunks of dirt. Dont let them backfill the house with that crap or it will settle like crazy.

Re: House Projects
 

They started digging ours early march last year when it was cold out and snow on the ground too. They can dig pretty much anytime is what they told me. Concrete they said there was a min temp they want to be above to pour, but that min temp was still pretty low.

Re: House Projects
 

Yea hopefully it should fine. I mean they have built about 3-4 since December. They just need to hurry up! What have some have you guys done for landscaping? Seems spendy to sod or hydroseeding.

Re: House Projects
 

We did sod, 1 retaining wall (had to), 1 tree in the front yard (had to), and then just river rock around the perimeter of the house.

Re: House Projects
 

Sounds like a lot of people are getting the house building/buying itch this year. My house closes this Friday and I'll be soon starting the build of our new house in Nowthen. 1200 sq foot garage and a 40 x 80 foot pole shed!!! W00t!

later,
Curt

Re: House Projects
 

Badass, that's a quite area.

Re: House Projects
 

Well went up to our lot last Friday and was surprised at how far they were and starting to put the block in. Then went back today and there was a house starting to take shape. Garage and master bedroom seem to be coming along nicely! The bedroom is above the garage so its nice and big! Went out and started to pick out some lighting stuff and got all the appliances picked out and same with all the colors of paint and carpet and all that fun stuff. Hoping that way they wouldn't have to be waiting around on us for anything.

Re: House Projects
 

Nice loft above the garage!

Re: House Projects
 

Thats the master bedroom.

Re: House Projects
 

Crazy, you gonna put a fireman's pole that goes straight to the garage?

Re: House Projects
 

Damn they are kicking ass!

Re: House Projects
 

Very nice! You will be having BBQ's in no time!

Re: House Projects
 

Yea its insane for just being 3 weeks. Oh yea hopefully soon in between doing the yard work ha. more then welcome to join in!

Re: House Projects
 

Out townhome was on the market for 8 days before it sold, closing here in mid may. We will find out if our offer is accepted on the house we looked at hopefully tomorrow morning!

Of course the house shuffle puts the project off for another year, but at least the stealth should have a 3rd stall garage for a comfortable sleep until 2014.

Re: House Projects
 

Congrats, all the cool white cars are coming out in 2014 anyway.
