Near Term Orders and Building Permit Note Review

Ok.  The foundation is going in and REBAR is ordered.   A pool is coming in later so some changes to how rebar is stubbed out need to be made.

Order for rebar is in and it will arrive by Thursday.  The footers are being dug today and tomorrow.

The  building permit noted Tempered glass required at specific locations in the home.   Most vendors of windows in Florida have the IMPACT GLASS on the outside pane.  This means you would need to specify with that vendor both impact glass and tempered for the inside pane.

Jeld-Wen vends windows that have the impact glass on the inside pane thus satisfying the tempered glass requirement.

Order windows on foundation start.  They take 4 weeks to arrive.  By then the framers will be 70 percent done with framing.   Store them off site for a week or so then bring them.   Also get the doors ordered.

We started a week ahead of schedule so WATER METER needs to get set soon.  Electric is going to take some time so I hope people tolerate the issue.   Dumpster arrives today and Potty tomorrow.   Hope everyone can handle that.

Making alternative plans for water on site for the block setting next week if Regional cannot get a meter set by then.

The meter has to be 1 1/2 inches rather than the standard 5/8 inch because a 4 story structure has to have a fire suppression system.   Our selected vendor specified the meter size so we ordered it today in the proper size.

Chelco is on the hook to tell us how temporary power is coming to the house.

Hope all goes well.  Extension cords are awesome if required.
