This morning, we met with our architect and the contractor for our home expansion. The project scope and time line were discussed. Those are the only things we're waiting for since we have the necessary permits. The initial plan was to finish the project in eight months. I requested the contractor to squeeze it into 5 months, since I am planning to combine the house blessing with Javi's 1st birthday celebration. There are just a few other tweaks needed before we sign the contract and give the contractor our initial installment.
In addition to that, the homeowners' association also had several guidelines for construction. We need to secure IDs and shirts for the workers. Before that, the workers would have to get NBI clearances before ID are issued. With all that in mind, we can only begin construction on Tuesday. The only thing we can do on Monday is to enclose our construction area in time for deliveries that day.
I remembered that we failed to include the repainting of our existing house in the contract. Of course, it has to match the new area that going to be constructed. If the contractor will demand too much for that, I am planning to hire a reputable Salem Painter to do that paint job. I hope I can find someone in our area.
