Timeline

I'm working on putting a chart together to show a better representation of the timeline. For right now, I will just use text with events sorted in descending order to document the timeline.

Initial Steps

• March 15th - May 22rd, 2010: We went through the builder selection process.


• May 23rd, 2010: Contract signed with ANV.


• June 21st, 2010: Settlement completed on lot.


• May 20th - November 1st: Worked on selecting and finalizing optional items.

Permit Process

• July 10th - October 6th: Architectural drawings prepared, revised (4 revisions), approved by independent engineer and submitted to county.


• June 22nd - August 31: Grading plan prepared, submitted and approved by county.


• October 7th - Oct 18th.: Demolition permit application submitted by builder and approved by county.


• October 7th - Oct 29th: Building permit application submitted by builder and approved by county..

Building Process

• November 2nd: Pre-construction meeting conducted between us (home owners) and ANV.


• November 7th: Fire department training exercise conducted (we donated the structure to the local fire department for their training use). Please note that this was a voluntary step and not required for building a house.


• November 9th: Meeting conducted between with the county inspector, the site engineers (company that we hired to perform site preparation) and home owners.


• November 10th - November 15th: Demolition of the old house and hauling away of debris completed. No work was performed on November 11th in observance of Veteran's Day holiday.


• November 17th - November 18th: Stakeout of site completed.


• November 19th & November 22nd: Excavation completed.


• November 23rd: Foundation footing completed. The builder was ready to resume putting up the foundation walls the next day, but due to the delay in getting the land engineer to do the brick points, work was delayed until after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend (no work performed from November 24th - November 28th).


I will keep updating this post as construction progresses...
