Windows Installed






On Tuesday, the rest (almost) of the windows were installed, along with the large sliders for the Great Room and Nook. The framer built the wooden frames to go around the curved windows over the front door and the dining room window. He also closed in the small area above the "stacking location" for the large Great Room Slider. It stacks completely to one side, so all three panels can be open.

The crew is missing one window for the garage. Since this is not a standard item, that is probably how it got missed. This will be less of a problem, as it is on a masonry wall that doesn't get insulated or drywall, so it should not hold up construction. They told me the missing window had been ordered and should be here in two weeks.

The framers finished the platform for the HVAC in the garage. Still no electricians. The roofers have about 5% of their work to finish, but were not there today. The plumber has a bit more work to do on the gas line and the master shower, but was not there today. There is NO WAY that we will be ready for pre-drywall inspection on Friday. It may not even make Friday next week.

Judi and I spent some more time looking at the yard for landscape planning. Pringle got the speed limit sign out front moved. It would have been in the middle of our driveway, but is now on the property line between our house and Bob Chapman's.

I also picked up lots of nails and trash outside. If I don't do it, I suspect they will just final grade over it, and I will be finding nails in the lawn for years.
