Thanks for asking.........
My contractor came by today to check the walls for level and put the sill plates on. He checked it with a level and it was only 1/16" in any of the places he checked. Which was at all the bolts.
Here are a couple of pictures of what they did.
He also pulled down the soffit and a corner board to see where the top plate is so he can measure for the wall hieght. It looks like I will have 12' + from the floor to top plate. The reason I will get that much is because the second floor has 2x10 joists with a top plate that the roof rafters sit on. which gives me the extra hieght. He said he might be able to get more but I will have to see what it will look like on the outside. I don't want it to look funky.
We are waiting for the trusses to be done. They will be dilivered next week. He is building a house in the next town over and he's roofing it. He has a man lift he will use to put up the trusses here but also needs to get the roof done. He's great to work with so he said he would like to finnish the roof so he could move the lift only once. When he finnishes the roof he will be here until the garage is done unless we have weather bad enough to prevent him working here.
Before he left he took some measurements for the door and window headers. We still need to discuss where I want the door to enter the house from the garage. Hopefully it all goes as planned.
As far as the cable and phone goes are you going to try to route them the same as the power? Again, it looks great.
