On Lot 1, we are currently awaiting all trades inspection prior to proceeding with drywall. On the exterior, we are ready to stucco but are waiting until the drywall is hung to prevent cracking. On Lot 2, plumbing and electrical are complete. HVAC is underway and fire sprinkler will be starting next week. On Lot 3, electrical and plumbing are underway. On all three lots, we are working with the City and PG&E to complete utility approval process. We are also working with the listing agent on a go-to-market strategy for pre-selling the three homes.

On Lot 1, we have completed all rough in and are ready for all trades inspection for next week. Roofing is almost done and we are getting ready to erect scaffolding in preparation for stucco. On Lot 2, windows are about 50% installed and we are roughing in electrical and plumbing. On Lot 3, we passed shear inspection today, and are preparing to install windows and begin rough-in.  

Magdalena Lot 1 framing is now complete, windows and doors have been installed, mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-in is nearing completion, and the roofing material is loaded in preparation to begin the installation. Lot 2 shear inspection passed today and we will begin window and door installation next week. Lot 2 framing was slightly delayed as the team made the decision to swap the master bedroom "wing" with the guest "wing" of the house in order to best optimize for the breathtaking views. Lot 3 framing is going to be the last to be complete due to the complex circular roof framing design. 

Lot 1 framing has now surpassed the other two lots. They are currently sheathing the roof with preparation for framing inspection next week. Lot 2 roof trusses were delivered today and will be installed next week. Lot 3 circular entry is providing a challenge to the framing crew but they will be finishing the second story wall framing next week and will then start roof framing.

Framing is in full swing on all three lots. Lot 1 slab and retaining wall are now poured and the first-floor framing is nearly complete. We are currently placing the second-floor joists and will sheathing and standing walls for the second floor starting next week. Lot 2 second-floor framing is complete and we are now just waiting on the pre-fabricated roof trusses to arrive before wrapping up framing. On Lot 3, the floor joists have been replaced per manufacturer recommendations and the first-floor walls are nearly complete.

On Lot 1, all concrete piers have been poured. The plumbing and waterproofing are complete for the slab and the concrete crew is currently forming rebar in hopes of being able to pour next week. On Lot 2, the first-floor wall framing is almost complete. On Lot 3, due to extended moisture exposure, the floor joists are having to be completely replaced. This is due to the manufacturer raising concern over the expansion of the plywood. While a difficult decision to backtrack and replace, we always try to deliver the best quality end product.

On Lot 1, we have all the piers prepared to be poured. In order to fight the rain, we brought a vacuum truck to site in order to pump the water that has accumulated over the course of the last few storms. Rebar cages have been placed into the 15' piers and are ready for concrete on Monday. The next step will be the retaining walls, and then the slab. On Lot 2, we are almost complete will all bottom plate detail. Starting tomorrow, we will begin wall framing. On Lot 3, we just completed pumping all the rain water out of the crawlspace. On Monday we will pour the rat slab followed closely by the framing.

We have started drilling the piers for the first-floor slab and are making a push to try to complete pouring by this week. For Lot 2, we have completed pouring the first-floor retaining walls and are ready to now begin framing. On Lot 3, we are completing the crawlspace preparation prior to completing subfloor and framing.

On Lot 2, the slab foundation is complete and we will begin forming the retaining walls next week. Lot 3 floor framing is complete and plumbing is underway.

Lot 1 slab has been poured and the team is currently forming the garage/basement level retaining walls.
