Framing on the Main Level

HI!

Went to the house today to return some paint samples and exterior window trim color charts. The framing is really coming along, and many of the rooms on the main floor have walls! It hasn't happened often, but we encountered two issues this morning. The two windows at the South end of the kitchen were framed correctly, but looked too small. Instead of framing 3 x 5 windows, they framed 3 x 4 windows and the sills of the windows are too high, blocking light and view.

Second, the laundry room door, jamb and interior wall were framed according to the plan that the job foreman had, but unfortunately, those drawings didn't have the redlines (changes) marked on them even though we had discussed this room at length with the Foreman's boss. Deb and I figured out a simple cure, taking about a foot out of the walk-in closet, and adding it to the laundry room. Now there's room for the washer and dryer, the armoir, and the cast iron laundry sink.

As a comparison to what's been constructed, here's the Architect's rendering of the home that matches the scene you see above.



















Cheers!!
