Update: Basement walls and bath rough-in

  1. Your house is coming along great. We are building the same model and are almost exactly on the same timeline as you are. I am completely jealous of your PM though, ours will be barely talk to us every two weeks. Your first floor bedroom and bonus rooms are going to be amazing.

    1. Thanks! Checked your blog and yours is coming along great too. I am so happy to find somebody building a Palermo too. It's nice that you're going to have a finished basement.

      Anyway, our PM and PS are both great. The PS sends me picture updates literally everyday, sometimes several times a day. I ask a lot of questions, worries too much and overthinks everything so we average about 8-10 email exchanges everyday.
