"And that is where...

...my room will be." Says Chase, down there in the corner of the picture, pointing to his bedroom window.
This picture was taken yesterday afternoon. (I actually posted it last night, but lost it) They worked hard yesterday in anticipation of missing work today, and the roof trusses coming tomorrow. There were more walls up last night when Rob when to see it. He caught them just as they were going to cut boards for a wall where we had changed a door, but had not told anyone. "Lets move this door over here, and make it a pocket door, and NOT tell the framer or the materials rep. ha ha" Joke would have been on us.
I can't say enough good things about this framer and his crew. Roberto knows his stuff, checks before making changes that he knows need to be made, and they are working long and hard. Even today, with a mini-hurricane in the area and heavy rains predicted, they were on the job, getting up as many interior walls as they can before doing the roof.
Saturday I'm going to Chapel Hill for a meeting of other owner-builders from the state. It should be very interesting and informative.
Here's a truth - HVAC companies prepare bids quickly because they have outside sales reps. Electric companies are slow, because they are all out working. Siding installers call you as soon as you apply for a permit.
