I didn't get any pics but on my way to work this morning I noticed that the shingles are almost done :willy_nil

You got it. Also, all the exterior walls on the house are 2x6 walls not 2x4. Garage is 2x4 however. But yes the headers are similar construction to what you can see pretty well above the garage door opening.

I told her it was going on GJ as I took the pic, she wasn't too happy ha ha. :dunno:

More progress this week. Brick work is nearly done, just the finishing by the front door but that has to wait till the pourch concrete is cured. Also they got the doors in and insulation done, all windows in also. Supposed to be doing the frame walk through on Monday to give my ok before they...

The 360's are for sure becoming more realistic in price but there are so dang many of them out there that I don't think I would buy one. Service is something to look at given the cost to get it done at a decent shop, my biggest hang up is the personality differences in all of them. The 308 is...

I'm 28 and then some. This will be our second actual house and hopefully the last aside from maybe a recreational cabin in the mountains. Also see build thread. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=212001

They are, it shows it on the plans I just overlooked it before. It will be framed and finished with the garage.

Glad you brought that up I almost forgot. I found out that the concrete footer is right there so the angled it to go above that footer and into the wall then placed a 45 on it and ran it right up the wall.

Not right away. Eventually (2-5 years probably) it will be a 308, 348 or 355. College graduation to myself. I'm having a hell of a time deciding which one, then people throw a Testarossa in the mix and make it more difficult. Price wise they are all pretty close but very very different machines...

I'll have to take a closer look when I'm there again. It is possible that the picture is making it look worse than it is. I didn't pay much attention to it when I was there so I will next time. For the record that is a part of the basement that won't be finished so thats just a framed wall there.

I don't know, I'm no HVAC guy. I do know that the pvc pipe for the exhaust is up to code. New furnace is super efficient and doen't vent much heat so the pvc is safe. Possibly the same deal for the framing?

New pics! Latest updates, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are done aside from the AC unit which is on hold till they pour the cement pad for it. Gas is run and basement windows are in. Should be on to insulation and drywall soon. Lets start with the views. First out the front door. Next out...

We were pretty lucky with our sale this last time, market is going up (slowly), newest house in the area and one of the few non-premanufactured, plus my dad is an agent so we had no issues there. I hear ya about the finish work taking forever, we finished part of our basement to help sell the...

7th house???? Are you crazy? I would probably be homidical if I had to move that many times. :willy_nil Latest update, they have the framing totally done, put up the black paper on the roof to prep for shingles, hopefully the roof will be done today or monday. Exterior doors and windows are...

Made some good progress this week. All the framing is done, next up plumbing, elec., and HVAC. Shingles should come soon too.

That would make sense. As long as I don't have an issue down the road when finishing the basement I'm good, it just looked off when I noticed it. Thanks for the info.

Floors and bearing wall in the basement are done. :rocker: Still concerned about the angled drain pipe but maybe it is going to run up inside that wall?? I called the general and he is supposed to take a look so we will see.

I got wood!!! Floors poured. Not sure about that drain coming out at an angle??? I'm no plumber but I believe this may be an issue, what do you think? When I drove past today it looked like the framers were there so maybe I'll have some pics of the floor joists and walls soon. :thumbup:
