Install photos & video

It's official: our sd231 in Bend, Oregon is installed! We started Tuesday morning at 8am with nothing but a foundation, and by 1:30pm that same day, we had a 2,900 square foot home. Our install crew set all 6 modules in less than 6 hours, and by 2pm that day our clients were walking through their new home.

The install went fantastic: the foundation was perfect, and all 6 modules went together flawlessly. Seismic connections to the foundation and between modules were made as they were set. We spend the rest of the afternoon removing temporary/shipping walls and floors, and even started some of the exterior painting and staining of the big exterior beams.

The next day, our electricians spent about 5 hours making all of the electrical connections between the modules, and the plumbers had all of the waste and water supply connections complete in a matter of hours. Amazing how simple it was, and how smoothly it went.

The next 2 weeks we'll be installing hardwood floors, some custom countertops, carpet, and of course the appliances. Outside, we'll be buttoning up the metal roof, installing the cedar siding, and building the decks. We expect to be complete in early September, which makes it about 4 months total from the time the clients submitted a deposit to the time their home is complete. Wow...I think we might need a glass of wine or two after all this!
