| The fire place is now bumped out. Previously it was flush with the wall |

| Master Bath soaking tub framed :) |
In the front yard - there were a few goodies also! Two bath/shower combos (girls bathroom & basement bath), Master bath soaking tub, and master bath shower.
 |
| One of the tub/shower combos...laying on its side. I had to crouch down to get a peek inside.. .mind you I was knee deep in the mud pit of my front lawn! |
 |
| Master shower |
At our pre-con meeting, we were told that they are now going with a different shower as their "standard" for the upgraded bath. I liked the look of the picture at the pre-con. But now seeing this in person...this does not look like the picture they showed us. I am not that picky about the shower, and it probably will not matter at all to me. I would like to see the shower standing up though :)
So here are my pictures to ask those of you who are seasoned builders, or at least have a clue about some of this stuff...if these things are "normal"??
 |
| Roof trusses. There is about a 4-6" gap between the front and the back plywood panels. Is that normal? |
 |
| Big hole in the ceiling plywood. It looks like they created that hole to attach that red support thing. Is that normal?? |
 |
| Another hole. Looks much smaller in the picture, but it is probably about 3" or so. |
 |
| Basement wall |
All of these things that I am wondering if they are "normal" or not...are they worth bringing up to PM? I really have zero home building knowledge, and don't want to harass him...just want to make sure my house is good :)
In an email, he said looking like plumbers will be out next Monday...we shall see what tomorrow brings :)
Just FYI...my roof trusses look the same way...with the gap. Not sure if it's 'normal', but I've got the gap too!! Progress is looking good! :)
ReplyDeleteThe combination of the ridge vents and eve vents allow your attic space to breath and equalize the temperature between the outside and the attic. This is a modern system of venting an attic. The old system consisted of those annoying squeaky metal spinning louvered vents. They will put a plastic vent over those holes and shingles over the vents. If you drive through your neighborhood you will see them. Also when they insulate your house, you will see them either put in cardboard or styrofoam sheets down by the eves. Air comes in through there and out the roof vents.
ReplyDeleteThe red thingy and hole in the plywood is a fall protection device. They wear a harness on the roof an in the attic and the red thingy is the anchor to keep them from getting hurt if they fall off.
