Q:\u00a0 I remember Dennis mentioned that the front porch step concrete pouring would happen last week. <\/span>The weather is getting cold. I just checked the weather. We wouldn\u2019t have another frozen weather in next few days. <\/span>Hope the concrete can be poured soon, so the cold weather won\u2019t damage the wet concrete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A:\u00a0 Waiting on front door to be delivered & installed, then stoop will be poured<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

Q: Also, how is the progress of the electricity installation? Do we need to do anything to call electricity company? <\/span>We already got the 400A meter base. Hope the after frame stage can be as fast as well. With the Thanksgiving in November and Christmas in December.\u00a0 <\/span>We hope we can get things done as early as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A:\u00a0 Once the meter base has been inspected by the county, I\u2019ll notify you to contact Dominion to inform them of such<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q:\u00a0 We already contact the Propane <\/span><\/em>company. What is the detail requirement of propane? 100 gallons?<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 Yes 100 gallon tank \u2013 I\u2019ll let you know when to schedule delivery<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q:\u00a0 I also heard from a friend in construction business to warn me that don\u2019t put on carpet and hardwood floor if the polywood still contains some moisture.\u00a0 <\/span>Many new building\u2019s polywood got wet in rain and some moisture still kept in polywood, and then the hardwood and carpet were put on.\u00a0 <\/span>The floor would have problem within 2 \u2013 3 years. Hope the propane can dry the polywood as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A:\u00a0 Flooring contractor measures humidity before hardwood installation as they are the ones that have to warranty it \u2013 they wouldn\u2019t install it if it was going to affect the hardwood\/warranty<\/span><\/p>\n
