WB Download

In this episode Jeff shares with us his recent family vacation driving an RV out West. Jeff and his family visited so many places that include St. Louis, MO, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa and Chicago, IL. They visited National Parks and dear friends in the home building industry too!
In this episode Jeff continues to discuss the home building process that Wieland Builders follows. During the Mid Stage Phase we celebrate that the drywall is up and now the moisture control continues for the walls and flooring inside the home. Sanding of the drywall is completed and the floor prep and roll-out begins. During this time the floors are screwed down and joints are sanded so there are no future squeaks. Also, multiple coats of paint are applied to the ceiling, one coat on the drywall and the electrician installs all plugs, switches, outlets and can lights. The furnace is hard wired and the sump pump installed and then ceramic tile and hardwood flooring is installed all while continuing to check the moisture reading on the interior of the home. The cabinets and the built-ins are next to be installed.
Te next stage is the Trim Stage. Inside the home during this stage the beams are set and then the inside trim, sills, casing, molding, doors, cabinetry are installed and the countertop templates are measured. The interior painting is completed. On the outside of the home during this phase the brick is finished and cleaned, straw put down around the home to prevent mud splashing on the newly installed brick. The trim is installed, vinyl wrap, doors and gutters. When we are done on the outside then the stone is applied on the home and also on any fireplaces both on the inside and outside of the home. Landscaper does the walkway layout planning during this phase. Concrete prep work and pouring of the porches and driveway is completed. This is an exciting phase and a time for us to share the progress with our clients. We provide a special date night for our clients to enjoy on us and time to visit the home to see how all the selections and planning has come together.
When Jeff continues the Home Building Phases in a future podcast, he will be discussing the Finishing and Mechanics Phases.
