Much progress yesterday and today. Builder Brad and Builder Bob were on-site with Bob's daughter and grandson, and Brad's right-hand-man Derrick to frame up the interior walls of the walk-out basement.
It looks different IRL than it does on paper. That long wall of doors for one thing. But it's a basement, it's not the main living space, so we'll get over it.
Met with Energy Vanguard yesterday to discuss details of the HVAC design. If there's one piece of advice I'd give to anyone building a custom home today, figure out how you want to heat and cool your house, and design the house around that system. I'm pretty confident we'll make this work, but there are a lot of ducts and pipes competing for the same space in the trusses.
I had my follow-up with the doc today. She's agreed to prescribe tirzepatide under the Medicare bridge program. That process is rather needlessly complicated, but it has begun. I also brought home a sleep study kit to learn if I have sleep apnea. I don't think so, but maybe? She said my hemoglobin was high, which can be a sign of sleep apnea. We shall see.
Weather permitting, tomorrow the crew will be back to set the floor trusses, and after that the sub-flooring. Then Brad can begin stacking ICF blocks for the main floor.
The beat, and the building, goes on...
