Day 21 - October 18th

Looks like they were busy again today. From what I can see, they have completed bolting the frame to the concrete and have started getting the roof trusses assembled. It all looks like its going well.

I got an email from our site supervisor today, indicating that this pipe was indeed in the wrong location, and the plumber will need to rectify it when he does his rough ins. (What does 'rough in' mean?  "Installation of main lines to the point of protruding through the walls before the framing is covered up by the drywall or sheetrock, with the pipes stubbed out past the wall line to connect the fixtures to." )  Ah well! It was to be expected that things wouldn't go right all the time.

I have asked my Site Supervisior and cc'd my Building Support Coordinator to request a rectification plan, as well as to ensure the termite protection is reinstated. I have also asked that we are able to view the appropriate documentation to ensure that this has been completed correctly.

Now for some pictures....

So what's the weather forecast say for the rest of the week?

Looks good so far. High chance of rain on Wednesday, so hopefully they will get the roof secured tomorrow.
