1 Additional Week Delay in Completion of Cottage 1

We were notified this morning that the target date of 11/7 for move-in has been pushed out to 11/14. This was primarily due to longer than expected lead times and delays in the receipt of material for the energy recovery ventilators, pedimat, lighting, and solid surfaces. Donnelly is looking to make up this week plus the other 3 weeks that were delayed due to structural issues in the next 3 cottages. Outside, the bricks that were removed during demolition are being reinstalled in the new exterior wall. Work on interior finishes continue.

Flooring, Cabinets, Paint, Lights

The tile flooring and walls in the bathrooms are complete. The flooring is installed in the bedrooms and laundry room. The bedroom doors are being hung and the lighting is also being installed. The walls are painted and the crown molding is up. The kitchen cabinetry is being installed, counter templates will be taken tomorrow. The place is hopping with activity and things are moving along.

Sheetrock complete

The new walls are up and ready for paint. The bathroom floor tile has been installed. Shower diverters are in. Down the hallway the bedrooms have been primed and the beautiful new solid wood doors are waiting installation. Great new shelves in all of the bedroom closets.

Passed more inspections

The electric, plumbing and framing inspections all passed. We are full steam ahead with sheetrocking. The bedrooms will be painted starting tomorrow.

More Inspections Scheduled

The electrical inspection is scheduled for this week and the plumbing and framing inspections are scheduled for mid-next week. Painting of the bedrooms is scheduled to commence on Monday. The structural design changes have all been implemented. The silver lining in this whole change is that the design is actually improved; the absence of the missing column enhances the open floor plan that now exists. Good news received from the township Building Department - our proposed change to the insulation plan has been approved, resulting in an anticipated savings of $25k.
