In the last week the house has been framed completely! It is amazing that they can put it up so quickly. From last Tuesday to today they have been busy little works bees. They work 6 days a week and try to get as much in as possible without having issues with the rain. Here is the houses progression over the last week!

As you can see, they put it up fairly quickly. The stairs are set to go in today and then throughout this week and next the trades people will be out to put in plumbing, electrical, wiring for the bonus room, and start insulating. In about a week and a half we will have our pre-dry wall meeting and learn a little bit about what is behind the walls of the house in terms of energy star things, pipes, etc. So that will be interesting to hear about that. We are hoping that Logan will still be around for that.
We went to a meet and greet for the neighborhood for an hour or so on Saturday and found out some interesting things. We had been having trouble getting a hold of one of the project managers and turns out he was either fired (we heard this through the grape vine) or left the company. So we ended up meeting with the new project manager today, Hayden. He was really nice and told us he would work with us the best as possible on any questions or issues we have with the house building process. He helped work on a friends house in a different neighborhood a few years ago and she had only great things to say about him so that is encouraging. We got a few words of advice from the neighbors about watching the subcontractors closely since they like to cut corners. We are also happy we decided against a basement because it seems everyone is having moisture issues with them as well. Thankfully, we dodged that bullet!
We also found out they are going to sod our entire backyard which is awesome. We noticed our neighbors only had the back partially sodded so we were a bit concerned. Overall, great news for us!
Until next week =).
