Builder Meeting

My Builder and I met at the site this morning. He told me that the HVAC people were adamant that they could not install the ducts per the design with the furnace / plenum at the rear of the golf cart garage because there was not enough head room due to the slope of the roof to the side. This was very upsetting to me, as we had specifically discussed placement during out design sessions. However, after the Builder's explanation, I understand the issue and will have to live with it. If I had known at the design session, I would likely have extended the garage by two feet.

We discussed the niche for the refrigerator and settled on a way to make the entry from the hall to the kitchen a few inches wider. The cabinet people had been in and marked the location for the stove vent.

The concrete was poured around the relocated master shower valve plumbing. HVAC plenums and ductwork was delivered. The width of the opening for the nook slider was finally fixed.

Most of the shingles are applied, with just the small overhangs over the garage and front porch to do. Window installation is scheduled for tomorrow.

The Builder said that he expects all the rough-ins to be completed next week and our pre-drywall inspection to be done by next Friday. If that happens, then I think we are on track for a 4 1/2 month completion of the home.
