Framing Day 2

I called the builder sales rep today to address the water connection for the laundry room that is sticking up in the front hallway. She said the contractor will call me on Monday to discuss.

I can only see two solutions to this problem. Moving the wall (which will not work because it is more than an inch or two) or cutting (not jackhammering) a square hole in the slab to rework the plumbing into the correct location. Its a post-tension slab. They would have to mind the cables as to not compromise the foundation. If they reroute the plumbing, a second plumbing inspection would be in order following the procedure.

Aside from that, framing came along pretty good today. All of the main interior walls have been erected.

I didn't notice this when I was taking pictures, and I hope I'm wrong, but from this photo it appears that the toilet is on the wrong side of the wall (as in 'in our bedroom'). It looks like I'll be back out tomorrow with the tape measure again.

Framing Day 1

I was out 4 times today. This morning when the lumber arrived.

Again, at lunch when they were marking and measuring. There wasn't anything interesting to see with the limited amount of time I had during my lunch hour. No pictures.

Again, after work when they had already erected the West wall and were working on the East wall.

And again with the family in the evening where the perimeter walls and garage walls were already up.

Laundry room plumbing lines located in the hall? This looks seriously out of place.

Here is a reference photo from the model for the hall.
