Building With Boys: Pre-Construction Meeting
http://buildingwithboys.blogspot.com/p/pre-construction-meeting.html
Follow our journey as myself, my husband and our 3 boys build a Palermo with Ryan Homes. I stole most of this from Lauren at palermonewbeginnings.blogspot.com - thank you Lauren! Pre-construction meeting scheduled for 1/25/16. I am compiling a list of questions to make sure we cover. Let me know if I missed anything! I'm hoping to send these to him beforehand if I can. Didn't happen. I just didn't feel the need. Most of this I am assuming he will answer without being prompted.). Do we have to ask first?

Follow our journey as myself, my husband and our 3 boys build a Palermo with Ryan Homes. Friday, March 25, 2016. Week 9 is done. Left side. Definitely in need of grading.

A few things that I'm watching:. Electrical outlet in garage still hasn't been exposed. (PM said Monday they would expose it.). Sunday, March 20, 2016.
