WEEK 14: Where the Hell Are the HVAC Guys!!

It appears that the glut of building activity that has swamped the Arizona housing market is having an effect on the timeliness of our subcontractors. Our HVAC guys were supposed to be in the house last week, but have stated they are two weeks behind, which means that delays the plumbers, and finally the electricians by the same timeframe. Apparently plumbers won't do ANY installation until the HVAC guys are done laying their heating and cooling ducts throughout the framework. Ugh! The only good news is that the overall timetable is still valid for an October or November close.

The only good news is that the roofing materials have arrived, so we'll be seeing something new next week. For now, we're off to enjoy Cabo San Lucas for a week!

See ya'll soon!

The process consists of blowing the foam into the studs,  rolling them, and then applying a stapled "skin" of gauze to hold the stuff in place. We do like the fact that they have balanced the airflow throughout the house pretty evenly with distributed heating and cooling with different HVAC systems, so maybe this t
