Framing Substantially Complete

Two weeks for framing. It rained almost every day and snowed yesterday. For the past two days the wind has been gusting to 30+ mph, which doesn't make for easy handling of 4x8 sheets plywood. Yesterday, Tim had to wait a couple of hours for the snow to melt off the roof deck so he could finish. The framers worked hard and got the job done.

Rich set-up a MEP coordination meeeting today, which went well. Pack a few walls out for pipe chases and finalize a few dimensions and that's it. Al, the HVAC contractor, arrived early and we decided on the locations of the two furnaces, duct routing, etc. Don, the plumber, gave me some homework for the weekend: septic line location through the foundation wall, washer heights for the guy grey box and cabinet layouts for the entire house. Plumbing rough-in starts Monday so hurry up . . . . The cabinet guy is faxing me his dimensions, so I can do the layout Monday morning - no problem. Washer height - start shopping. Septic line - call Kevin with Carl's Septic Monday morning for this. As usual, I'm holding up the job . . .
