Day 94-

Slacking I know! I was called out by a fellow Garrell Home Lover in my comments so I apologize LOL! Our build has come to a screeching halt. We built the house in an area with a higher water table and with the snow in Michigan melting it has caused the 800 foot driveway to become a mud pit. We are unable to get the trucks into the property to pour the basement floor and the garage. We are also waiting on the front door to arrive, as we had to reorder a different door. Our initial purchase was from an Iron Works company in California and they were anything but legitimate. They issued a shipped status but the door had not even been made. Needless to say we cancelled our order and started back at square one. All the windows but the "faux window" in the peak and the front window where they will go through to pour the floor has been installed. The house is looking beautiful and as soon as we are able to finish the plumbing and pour the floor, install the door and last window the house will be well on its way to completion. We already have every fixture purchased, the cabinets and the sinks, faucets and even outlets so its just a waiting game for Michigan's mother nature and our asphalt company to get it together!!!

  1. Are you still waiting for the weather to clear? Bless you! We are in Georgia, and while we have had some rain delays, nothing more than a few days. Sending best wishes for some dry weather to allow you to get back to building.
