Framing Done!

The framing is 99.99999% done. The only thing left for them to do is install the basement steps. They haven't done this yet because the basement floor needs to be poured forst. And before they pour the basement floor, the plumber has to do the rough plumbing for the basement. The rough plumbing is going to include the pipes so that if someone wants to add a basement bathroom in the future, the plumbing is there for that. Having said all that, the tentative schedule is:
Monday - Plumber does rough-in for basement bath
Tuesday - Inspection of plumbing work.
Wednesday - Contractor starts on roof shingles
Thursday or Friday - Concrete to be poured in basement

Still haven't bought windows for the basement, so I need to go about getting that done soon. Also, now that the framing is done and all the doors to the house are up, I need to buy locks for the doors so I can lock the house up.

Bay window from the inside. Lots of sunlight will come in through these windows since they face the west... a good selling point. :)

I took this picture a day before the others in today's post. You can barely see me up in the window.

It's hard to believe that two weeks ago, all that was there was just the basement. These guys work fast! But really and truly most of the work is still left to do... Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, drywall, insulation, carpeting, cabinetry, fixtures... the list goes on. :)
