Progress Update: From Foundation to Insulation

Home and Garden Vancouver Island

29 Nov

In my blog to date, I’ve been talking about paint colours, tiles, lighting and the inspiration for our home build; but, it’s probably high time I did at least a partial reveal of our actual home build. I know there are a few of you who’ve been asking. So, you’ll find a pictorial evolution below from raw land to laying the foundation, framing the house, putting up the roof trusses, installing the beautiful windows, building the retaining wall, getting the roofing tiles up, and starting to add the insulation.

Our beautiful lot in a peaceful spot!
It’s a blank canvas…
The foundation is in!
So excited that this project is starting to feel real
Framing went up super quickly

Roof trusses went up super quickly too

The garden room concrete floor goes down and the windows go up
Love this retaining wall to level up the backyard ready for landscaping and container gardens

Roofing tiles are delivered and roofing is now in progress
Insulation is almost complete

What comes next?

Our builder guesstimated that the house would be complete for move-in at 8 months, with the caveat that there could be some delays during the roofing phase. That’s just the risk of building during a pandemic. As of the date this blog is published, we’re 10 months in to the build. Most of the siding and trim are complete; however, there is still a bit to be done on the rear of the house, followed by exterior paint. While that’s in progress, the last of the insulation gets finished up in the interior, followed by drywall. Then, we enter the next big phase of the project — interior cabinetry, moulding, flooring, tiling, interior painting etc.

Keep watching this space or connect with me on my social channels, to stay up to date on what happens next, including our inspiration for the kitchen, pantry, utility room, bedrooms, and office.
