Framing Complete - Moving Along

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!

HVAC - main air return and vertical duct to second story

Drain pipe from second story bathroom - kitchen sink and dishwasher will be connected to this

Looks like they didn't exactly know where to drill

Again, wrong holes drilled (kitchen sink/DW water lines)

Powder room

Powder room sink where they connected their pressure gauge

The "missing" basement window - love it!  So glad we got this.

Basement bath rough ins exactly where I wanted them

Air return duct in the basement rec room

50 gallon electric water heater with mixing valve

Sump pump (it was full of water)

Our Goodman high efficiency furnace

Furnace exhaust out the side of the house just above the foundation wall, but there seems to be an extra hole drilled here too...

Then turns into this in the attic where all these insulated ducts come off and feed into the upstairs rooms

One of the future vents - I like the work they did on all these

Then the master bath shower came!  Not really a big fan of how it looks.  I think we should be able to pick from several designs.
