You have come from the overall site of the building 30a blog. Here you find the diaries and here is the first entry.
Everything in the blog to this date was budgeting and objectives, not pure theory, but not actual physical activity of building bricks and sticks. Everything was just the preparation. Permitting, financials, conversations, preliminary bids and all other activity predate one moment in time.
You want the call. You want it to come fast and just in 4 days after all your legwork was done you get the call. "Your permit is ready". Now the test of your ability begins. Are you really able to do this? Can you do it for others? The answer is yes and this diary should prove that out.
Day 1 of construction begins. This day you want to begin managing the construction site, your own expectations and the schedule, but now the schedule is a whole different concept that just subcontracting.
I have selected the foundation contractor, the framing crew and the basic materials provider(nails,ties, simpson approved items, rebar etc). Today the foundation contractor and I will finalize the materials list for the concrete continuous footer/pier foundation. I have also selected plumber and electric. Why? Because plumbing needs to sign off on the foundation and possible pre-placement of various rough ins for the eventual stack out.
These meetings are done. So what happens now. Simple things.
To Do For Today and will be done.
