WB Download - Episode 14 Wielands Go Out West & Midstage and Trim Stages in Home Build Process
07/11/23 • 48 min
In this episode Jeff shares with us his recent family vacation driving an RV out West. Jeff and his family visited so many places that include St. Louis, MO, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa and Chicago, IL. They visited National Parks and dear friends in the home building industry too!
In this episode Jeff continues to discuss the home building process that Wieland Builders follows. During the Mid Stage Phase we celebrate that the drywall is up and now the moisture control continues for the walls and flooring inside the home. Sanding of the drywall is completed and the floor prep and roll-out begins. During this time the floors are screwed down and joints are sanded so there are no future squeaks. Also, multiple coats of paint are applied to the ceiling, one coat on the drywall and the electrician installs all plugs, switches, outlets and can lights. The furnace is hard wired and the sump pump installed and then ceramic tile and hardwood flooring is installed all while continuing to check the moisture reading on the interior of the home. The cabinets and the built-ins are next to be installed.
Te next stage is the Trim Stage. Inside the home during this stage the beams are set and then the inside trim, sills, casing, molding, doors, cabinetry are installed and the countertop templates are measured. The interior painting is completed. On the outside of the home during this phase the brick is finished and cleaned, straw put down around the home to prevent mud splashing on the newly installed brick. The trim is installed, vinyl wrap, doors and gutters. When we are done on the outside then the stone is applied on the home and also on any fireplaces both on the inside and outside of the home. Landscaper does the walkway layout planning during this phase. Concrete prep work and pouring of the porches and driveway is completed. This is an exciting phase and a time for us to share the progress with our clients. We provide a special date night for our clients to enjoy on us and time to visit the home to see how all the selections and planning has come together.
When Jeff continues the Home Building Phases in a future podcast, he will be discussing the Finishing and Mechanics Phases.

On today's episode we have a very special guest and dear friend of Jeff and Shannon Wieland. Jen Barcenas, the creator of Boxfull. Jen lives in Mason, Ohio and is well known for her great hugs; she now has a business that sends a hug in a box. Jen shares with Jeff how she started the company, when her close friend lost her mother during COVID and Jen wanted to comfort her with a hug. She sent a teddy bear in a box with it's arms attached to the box and when opened the bear gives a hug. She first started on Etsy and now has BoxFull. Boxfull has a variety of pre-curated boxes or they can customize a box to send. What a great way for you to "show up" in someones life when they are happy or sad, they need you and you cant be there. When they receive the bear they can hold and squeeze the bear knowing you love them and will always be there with them with a hug, forever.
Jen explains how the sending a hug in a box currently has a patent pending and it's her goal to grow more brand awareness and grow the company. She also explains what its like to make your ideas a reality and start a business.

The final phase is the Completion Phase, this is when the final touch ups, carpet installation and accessories like toilet paper, towel holders are completed and the home is professionally cleaned including the windows inside and out. The exterior of the home is having the final grading done to the yard for proper drainage away from the house, preparation for the sod or straw, irrigation system, decorative walkways, bushes, trees, mulch and the mailbox installation.
There is a company walk-through of the home 10 days prior to the closing date to catch the little imperfections that need attention before the final client walk-through on closing day. Jeff also reviews the warranty period and what to expect when the house settles in the first year.
