Quality and Dev's discussed the progress of their work, specifically on the first floor and basement. Dev's mentioned that the work on these floors was similar and didn't require a camera or plan. Quality then shared that they were on their way to Cancun for a podcast conference, with Dev's on site and Austin present. Quality also introduced themselves as the founder of Quality Builders and the host of the Chicago Quality Investors meet up.

Quality discussed the monthly project updates and the aim to promote growth and help each other. He highlighted the importance of giving back, mentioning his involvement with the True Value Boys and Girls Club. He encouraged others to consider donating to the club's Youth of the Year Program, which provides scholarships to the winners. Quality also mentioned the company's focus on home style renovation loans and the 2 or 3 K. Loaner.

Quality Builders discussed their ongoing project, a 2-unit building with a basement. The team, led by Quality and Dev, is in the early stages of the project, having commenced on demo and started on all electrical and plumbing rough work. They are also planning for a future unit in the basement. The original plan for the HVAC system involved running ductwork through the basement ceiling, but due to the potential for future use, the ductwork will now be run under the 1st floor ceiling. The team is preparing for upcoming inspections for the plumbing and electrical work.

Quality discussed the ideal placement of heating and cooling systems in a building, emphasizing the importance of having supply registers close to windows and return vents in the middle of the property to create circulation. Dev's then explained the placement of the furnace and return registers in the building, highlighting the decision to minimize the visual impact of the project. The team agreed on the placement of the furnace and the distribution of the air supply and return vents throughout the building.

The team discussed the layout and plans for a property, specifically focusing on the first and second floors. They noted that the floors are almost identical in layout, which is beneficial for plumbing and electrical work. The team also discussed the need to restore some of the original trim and woodwork, and the decision not to remove all the walls for a full gut demo to save on costs. Dev's clarified that they would be doing selective demo to meet code requirements and to avoid laborious work. Quality also mentioned the need to run copper lines under the property.

Quality emphasized the need for additional insulation in the exterior walls of a building due to plumbing restrictions, highlighting its importance in preventing pipe damage. Quality also shared their availability on various social media platforms and their website for further consultation and collaboration. Dev thanked John for his contribution and wished him a safe flight. Dev's discussed the progress of their project, focusing on the kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, and the decision to deepen the walls to accommodate plumbing and electrical conduits. They also mentioned the addition of a rear porch to each unit for extra relaxation space. Dev's promised to provide more updates on the project's progress, including a virtual walk-through when the project is closer to completion, and encouraged attendees to reach out with any questions or concerns related to construction or real estate investing.
