While we still can’t check out the upstairs of our new home, since there’s no stairs built yet, we can see that the walls are close to complete – and there’s lots more framing details downstairs too!

Here’s tonights view of our new home; you can get a better idea of it’s final size now, and see the sloped lower roof above the garage, and at the back, some framing for the upstairs balcony:

 

Inside, the triple arch framing between formal “living” and “dining” rooms, and framing for the kitchen:

We still need the roof framing, interior walls upstairs, and the staircase!

We returned to Independence today to see how much more work had been done since Friday, and there’s some upstairs walls constructed now – but quite a few more days work before there’s a roofed structure!

 

Finally, after some three weeks delay due to inspection failures, there’s some more progress at our new home.
We were told of an issue with the height inspection, presumably related to possible flood – but strange since our home is if anything a couple feet higher than the ones either side, that apparently had no issue! It’s also clear that part of the rear support wall had to be re-constructed (some sort of issue between the design drawings and the actual construction, apparently).

But now, Lennar are “full blast”, allocating two framing crews, so they can try and catch up our home to the rest of the row!
