Tag: ADUs

The construction is on schedule and we are expecting these two homes to be ready in February. The only big uncertainty is when the inspectors come to verify all the requirements.

These homes are 800 sq ft two bedroom and two full bathrooms. They include a kitchen island and an ample living area. We have constraints going inside the units until all inspections happen and it is hard to show that when interested visitors come.

However, the manufacturer, Wolf Industries, has prepared a virtual tour of this design and everyone can get a sense of the interior of these homes. There are few differences with our design because we wanted the two entrances to face each other, the big door in the living room was removed and a wall was added as part of the living area.

Each home includes its own washer and dryer, and all the stove, water heater, and heating are electric. Eventually, we hope to add some solar panels to those units.

Check out the virtual tour below:

The ADUs are all set in place and final details will take about a month to complete, including all the siding, interior painting, utilities, and more.

It all looks great with the ADUs, but the rain is not helping. The trenching for the utilities disrupted all the soil, which was already compacted by the heavy machinery used to move the ADUs. But, all the sewage, water, electric, and communications pipelines are in place!

For us, seeing the prefab units being moved across our yard, navigating through tight spaces, sliding them over the backyard, and finally seeing them in place, was such a big milestone.

Here some pictures of the whole construction process until this update in December 2024.

The site is not ready yet, we currently getting quotations for landscaping and we are on schedule. The plan is to have the units ready in February.
