Haha! That’s a workout room right there, not an exercise room, lol!

The garage door company finally got around to removing the standard height track kit (wrong kit installed initially) and replacing with a high lift kit.

No sense letting that extra ceiling height go to waste. Now I’ll be able to raise the garage door when the car is on the lift.

When do you move the Ford GT in next to the GT500 and GT350?

Haha! I can only wish I had one of each. The builder is still talking sometime near the end of October, but we keep hoping he’s just saying that, in order to underpromise and overdeliver.

Very nice views out of your garage. Love the separation you have from your neighbors. Can’t speak for others but once you’ve had a place like this not sure I could ever go back to high density. Do you guys fill the expansion joints and epoxy the floors there? You’ll been in before you know it. Not a bad gidt for yourselves with the Holidays right around the corner.

Yes, the views are very nice around there. I do like the idea of filling the expansion joints before epoxy. That’s how they did it at our last house. That’s a question I’ll have to ask.

I agree, it will be a nice gift to ourselves for the holidays. Hopefully we’ll be all settled by Christmas.

I guess the slab had no thermal expansion / contraction in FL!

I‘m guessing it can/will. I sure hope it‘s going to be fine though. I have had a driveway crack before, right in the middle of one of the sections and drop 1/4”. We had to replace that section of the driveway to correct the issue.

Actually there can be benefit of the lower mount. My son installed ceiling-suspended storage racks over his doors. He was able to install 4 of the 4'x8' racks above his 16 ft wide door.

Of course if you are going to install lifts in the future, like you may be doing, your ceiling hugging system is much better.

Plumbing “trim out” is moving at a rapid pace and the crew is extremely efficient. All fixtures, hot water tank and water softener were installed in less than 8 hours yesterday. I‘m guessing they’ll be able to get the tub installed in the master bath today and move on to testing and inspection.

The excavator was also hard at work getting the ground ready for the upcoming irrigation and landscaping work.

 

[NGOT8R]

Irrigation is complete and landscaping is underway. Sod is up next after they correct the soil washout issue alongside the driveway.
