Third Car Garage Framing

We moved in with E's sister this weekend. The move went well except a few of my items that weren't suppose to go to the storage vault ended up there. The only box I am worried about is the box where I had perfume bottles and nail polish; these items were not packed for storage. Just hoping that they don't break!!!

We stopped by Friday for a quick look and a worker showed up while we were touring the house. We went back on Sunday to get pics and saw that they started to rough in the plumbing.

We also met our neighbors on the one side. They seem really nice and are close to our age. He is actually friends with one of the guys I went to high school with.

I was excited to see that they have the third car garage framed.

They did frame our master bath backwards. The floor plan is to have the shower and then the bath tub and the door would swing into the bedroom. We did a non-standard to flip it so the tub was behind the door and the door would swing into the bathroom instead. We want to put a sitting chair in the corner. We saw on Friday that they had already set the tub and of course it was backwards. We reached out to the PM on Monday and he said he was aware it was wrong and he was waiting for the frame guy to come back and fix it. Everyone knew this would be wrong and that is why they charged us $500 (I think that was the amount) for this non-standard.

We also asked our PM to move our thermostat location. It is currently smack dab in the middle of the small wall. We plan to put a buffet there and of course we won't be able to put a large picture/mirror above it with a thermostat right there. He is going to look at it, so hopefully they will move it for us. Thanks to the other bloggers for reminding me to look into this.
E went yesterday to see if they set any other switches that we would want moved before they wire them completely. There was a large crew there so he wasn't able to get in.

We have our pre-dry wall meeting bright and early tomorrow at 7am. Hopefully the bathroom will be fixed.
And a close date?????

Here are a few pictures. Our house looks huge from the side because of the walk-out basement. We also saw our neighborhood pets on Sunday. There is a large family of turkeys that live in the woods around the house.

 

 

We also went on Sunday to pick our granite for the countertops. Well "pick" turned out to be-"Here is the slab your countertops will be cut from; they are all very similiar".
