Well, the concrete guys arrived on the property a 1 AM Monday morning, dug out the beam, set the forms and poured the additional 2 feet of concrete on the back of the patio before 6am. So, we had no opportunity to inspect the rebar to see if they had done it right this time. We were out on the property around 10am to meet with our build supervisor to discuss a new problem. Seems the windows on both sides of the house are set too high. They are per the architect plans but there is not enough room at the top of the windows to allow for the soffits to go in and have room for the window trim. After discussing various options with Mario (our framing supervisor), we decided that lowering the windows 3 inches was the best approach. We also discussed moving the attic access away from where it was in the plans to allow room for the water treatment systems in the garage. David also asked them to add an additional King Jack Joist on either side of the front door (it only has 2 joists) to reinforce the structure. The framers were busy getting the roof joists in place. They had to add another valley on the back roof to account for the new roof line due to the extra two feet on the back. David flew out to Albuquerque for business on Tuesday (came back Friday). After dropping David at the airport, Leslie drove over to Dallas and had lunch with her Mom. Cynthia drove to Fort Worth for business on Wednesday and Felix came up Friday. We met them for dinner at Mi Casina and spent hours catching up. Saturday, we went over to Mom and Donny’s house, met up with Cynthia and Felix, and Lauren and the Grand Nieces who had driven up that morning. We all enjoyed lunch and celebrated Cynthia and Laurens birthdays.
