Construction is progressing well at this new home in Millbury, MA. The rough frame is now 100% complete, except for the basement. The roof is complete and the siding is well underway (its further along than the photos show). Rough wiring is nearly complete and there’s probably about a day or so left to get the rough plumbing and heating finished. Then we will be on to inspections! First, we’ll need to get the rough plumbing and electrical signed off by their respective inspection departments. Then we can get the building inspector in to do an inspection of the rough frame. If all goes well we’ll be ready to insulate and looking forward to board and plaster shortly thereafter.

And, yes, we are definitely looking forward to spring! Bring on the warm weather and the mud!

Despite experiencing one of the harshest winters in recent memory, we are currently in the midst of framing a new house in Central Mass, just south of Worcester. Starting in December and with winter dishing out some rough weather, we managed to get the foundation in and backfilled before the extreme cold set in. It involved playing the weather just right, and a little bit of shoveling snow out of the way, but things actually played out real well with a mix of snow followed by some warmer weather to melt things up and allowing us to keep pushing forward.
We are now up to the 2nd floor and will have the roof on by the end of the week. You can check out some of the progress on our website at Project Gallery. We’ll continue to update photos so you can check out our progress.
At just over 1,600 square feet of living space, this custom home will progress rapidly and the homeowner will able to move in sometime this spring.
Stay warm and come back soon for future updates!!
