Mayher Street – Day 20ish

Mahyer Street– Day 4
On day four, not only were the cabinets installed, but all of the windows were operational. The team had completed the exterior, Kleer trim-work around the windows, and they had installed half of the siding.
Mayher Street– Day 3
On day three, ALL of the plumbing and electrical has been installed, the drywall is up and mudded and we’ve broken ground in Easthampton to get ready to lay a foundation.
Mayher Street– Day 2
On day two, our partners are already hanging drywall. The pace of construction in a factory environment is just phenomenal.
Mayher Street– Day 1
Our factory partner, PBS Modular, kicked off construction today of the modular components for our backyard home being built at 8 Mayher St in Easthampton. The entire build will take them roughly two weeks, after which they will send us the components to finish on-site in Easthampton.
