Framing Corrections

Nearly 5 months later than it should have happened, but there is a new framer here doing the corrections including replacing some of the shear wall. County inspector here this afternoon for a consult to ensure the do all that is needed to pass the shear wall inspection that should be happening on Monday 3/22.

Shear wall replaced

 

At a stand still

 Well, here we are. At a stand still. The GC is trying to find a replacement framer STILL. They have some OSB sheathing on the exterior that need to be replaced before they can call in shear inspection for the 4th time and then proceed to siding. Then there is still the framing inspection that is in the future, but the stair treads are all wrong, doorways not the right width . . etc . . the list goes on. 

We are still negotiating with them to get out of the contract after framing inspection. We so badly just want out now, but given all of these framing issues that they are currently having to cover the cost on, we just can't see taking that on . . it would be a huge mistake financially. 

Also still waiting for an answer on the mold issue. 

Good news is the roofer returned and installed the last trim piece that was missing under the snow. 

3/6 was 1 year since we were issued our permit, and 4/7 1 year since closing on the construction loan. 

Here is how the house looks . . lovely housewrap blowing in the wind. It looks really ghetto.
