Framing the Interior

Today the framing of the interior started. The layout for each wall was marked on the concrete slab. Information for the door openings was marked (e.g. opening size, door height, header size) as well as information about any pocket doors. The crew put treated lumber on the markings on the floor and built the stud walls and headers.

It was about 65% completed today. Now we can walk around and get a real feel for how big or small the rooms will be.

I found one potential major problem. The input / output lines for the Master Shower valve are in the slab right in the middle of the entry to the shower. I'm told they will be moved, although I hate to have the slab opened up to move them.

The roofing crew started to install the tar paper on the roof this afternoon. They were also doing more work on the fascias and other wood "trim" work.

Over all, I think there was very good progress today. Tomorrow my Builder has scheduled a short meeting at the site to go over some open questions that I have emailed to him.
