Previously, there are two window opening in living room. We thought it is a mistake. It turns out to be a part of the process. The factory delivers all standard wall to the construction side. Then works manually customize the wall according to customers' request. In our case, our house doesn't ask for east side window. So they are covered!


Shingles are not there yet. But there is a big box above ceiling. Once shingle is there. No worry about raining anymore. But at this moment, we still need to be patient.


shingle are there in 5/4!


Two days after window were installed, all shingles are there. 


Basement construction learning note (2): Dealing with basement moisturemnj

1. the downspout extension need to guide the water 8 ft away from the foundation.
2. whole wall waterproof coating and caulking on cracks or leakage joint could help to prevent light seepage. but it will not solve the serious moisture problem.
3. Therefore, make sure sum pump system work appropriately.
