ACTION ITEMS COMPLETED SO FAR:
After three long years of planning, our house plans are complete and we are slated to start construction within the next two weeks. To date, our electricity has been cut, our natural gas line has been removed, our water meter has been replaced with a tap line and our sewer line has been disconnected.
GAME PLAN FOR NEXT TWO WEEKS
The property is slated to have a construction fence installed next week and we are scheduled to close on the constrction financing on or about this Friday. Once the financing is complete, then we are full speed ahead.
NAVY FACTOID
I would say we are flank speed, but that particular speed is unsustainable . . . . . flank speed is a nautical term referring to a ship's true maximum speed, beyond the speed that can be reached by traveling at full speed. Usually, flank speed is reserved for situations in which a ship finds itself in imminent danger, such as coming under attack by aircraft. Flank speed is very fuel-inefficient and often unsustainable because of engine overheating issues.
Here is a picture of the old house as of this Sunday.
Here is a picture on the west side with the yard signs for 2scale Architects, Allegro Builders and JTB Demolition.
Here is a picture of the tap waterline. About 1 week ago, the City of West University Place removed the water meter and installed this tap waterline which will be used during construction.
Last weekend the sewerline was cut and this riser pipe was installed. Don't worry, that isn't raw sewage you see below. The rain during this past week has been significant and the hole is filling up with rain water.
I don't know when, but the gas meter and gas line were also pulled. The pipe sticking out of the ground was previously connected to a gas meter.
The electric meter was pulled from the house and the wire drop from the electric pole to the house will be cut when the house is demolished.
