Framing Done... on to Plumbing and HVAC
This past week was, apparently, a busy one! For the most part, it looks like they've completed the plumbing and HVAC. There are still a few things they need to do (like install drain traps, etc.), but it looked pretty complete to me. During this walk-through I noticed a few things that I'll be bringing to my PM's attention - more on that with the pictures below.
Here's a run down of our progress at this point:
- Framing complete
- Plumbing almost complete
- HVAC almost complete
Next up:
- Electrical/low-voltage stuff (Guardian)
- Insulation
- Pre-drywall meeting
Want to also give credit to my PM's (we now have two), Andrew and Bryan, and the trade crews for doing an exceptional job with the framing, plumbing, and HVAC. I was pretty impressed and everything I asked for was done!!
And now for the onslaught of photos!
