WRAPPING IS COMPLETE...FRAMING STARTS MONDAY

We visited the property on Friday (06/17/2011) and Saturday (06/18/2011).  We received the lumber on Wednesday, (06/15/2011) and the PM stated that they will finish backfill on Monday and will begin the framing process Monday afternoon.  That is about a day and half ahead of schedule. 

The following are a few pictures of the wrapping...

and 2 shower stalls, shower flooring, and
a whirlpool tub (?WHAT?)
we shouldn't have a tub, we replaced it with our custom claw foot tub --
we plan to follow-up to make sure there is no confusion.

Even though we have ran into a few snags, we are still very excited about building a house...soon to be our home.  We will keep you posted on the progress.

Foundation pictures (taken 06/13 and 06/14)

The first 2 pictures were taken on Monday (06/13/2011) - pouring the foundation.

You can actually see the cement being poured into the walls -
This was a very cool experience.

 We are expected to receive the lumber tomorrow morning and framing will begin in a week. 

Also, we signed our final change order today to officially add the custom spa shower.  This is sooooo exciting and we can't wait to see the rest of the building process.
