Day 44 - House Marked

Our FM was over today and we actually got to talk to him for a good 45 mins (not once did he hesitate to answer any of our questions and he really took time to listen to our concerns).  He marked up the whole house with where the major items were going, flooring markings, door markings, and he swapped out the temporary railings upstairs with safer ones.  He was also able to supply us with our official Guarantee Completion Date certificate (12/21/15).  That seems like right around the corner and an eternity away all at the same time.

The main topic of discussion was around the door at the bottom of the basement stairs.  The copper waterline (as I pointed out the day it went in) will be in the way of the door swinging open into the basement.  We talked about a few ideas of making the platform at the bottom of the stairs larger allowing us to move the doorway over and then leaving more room for it to swing open.  He's going to think about it and get some other people's opinions but we'll definitely have to do something about it.  Worst case scenario they move the copper waterline over but we'll try to avoid that if we can.

We also talked about what we will have to do when we eventually finish the basement as getting the drywall down there will be a pain.  He suggested we just use smaller pieces (just like they are going to have to do when putting in the basement bathroom).

Lastly our FM did some decorating in Jefferson's room by spray painting his name and putting some cool shapes on the floor.  He really enjoyed it when we went over there this afternoon.  I wish I would have gotten a picture with our FM as he's such a good guy.


Here is the copper line in question with the door opening behind it.

Man door is still waiting on the door-jam.

Here is the post in the living room. (you can see the black marks on the floor of how large it will be)
