Pre-drywall Update

We were supposed to be insulated tomorrow for a pre-drywall on monday, but framing, electrical and hvac failed inspection, so that pushes it to wed.  Framing failed for some joist support that was missing, electrical for the metal plates not being on all studs with wires going through them, and hvac for a duct being held too tightly with a vinyl band which made a small kink in the side.

The swamp goes on a diet

Had the pre-wire meeting today and was pleasantly surprised to see that the basement had been drained. The power cable was sticking out of the hole, so I assume that they ran power from the house next door (unoccupied) so that the pump could do its job.

Now able to walk in the basement again, I was able to see all of the cement that they splattered on the egress window...guess we'll be getting a new one of those :-)

The swamp thickens...

OK so today we walked into this...It had rained last night and we were welcomed with 2" worth of water in the basement. After our WTF moment, we reached out to the SR for some insight. He says that nearly all basements will retain some water and that since we have no power yet and the sump isnt on, there is no remedy until wiring is done and power is on. He also said that they wont even finish the basement until drainage is working properly to ensure no damage to the drywall...

Roofing

Not sure why this section of roof was left unshingled, it is the same on the opposite side

duct work/plumbing now in progress...we do have various pictures but theyre all pretty boring. If anyone is interested in them will post.

However, one pic will make it up. We had requested the dryer vent be raised 4' up the wall...and here it is...

Hmmm, if thats 4', Im Santa Claus...emailed to PM
