Habitat Blitz - Looks like a House Now!


Monday morning started early for the Garman Homes G-Team. Before 7 a.m. our team was on the job site checking and rechecking the house before the rough-in inspections. The framers, plumbers, HVAC guys and electricians were all there to walk with the inspector to be sure everything was just right! There were trucks everywhere!

By 10:00 AM we received the green light to insulate the home, and by lunchtime Cortes Construction was hanging the drywall. It’s hard to believe we just started the home two days ago. On the outside, Stock Building Supply was installing the siding and finishing up the porches. Like contractors should, they started with the front of the house so that everyone could see their progress immediately.

It was great!By the time we were cleaning up on Monday evening, the drywall crew was applying the second coat of mud to the walls. Even as we left, we knew they would be there most of the night so that the next morning we could start running the interior trim and installing cabinets.
