The carpenter mentioned that he would be working on Saturday. We had some things planned for crackhouse, however we went to Elmsdale around 5:oopm (just before it go TOO dark!).
Amazing, we have almost all the rafters up. I really like the coffered ceiling in the master bedroom, it's great to see the extra ceiling height. Now that we have rafters, you really get a feel for how the second floor will look. There is still framing of walls to be completed on the front 2 bedrooms, bathroom and laundry, but the master bath/bed & closets are in place.
After the week's experiences with the way the actual building is vs. the drawings, I suggest to Andreas that we measure out every thing to see what's up. Good thing we did, since the bathroom is now actually 9" longer than on the drawings - this is all due to whomever put up the main floor joists (LVLs)...and that explains why the Carpenter was talking about shortening the laundry room. So, once we laid out on the floor, we see that it's not really that big a deal because there is some flexibility in the main bath...but still, we are thrown off a bit by this. We shall have a word with the builder, but there is not much to do about it now!
