It seems like with this project there is something that always needs to be tweaked. A lot of this probably would have been ironed out in the very beginning if we'd had a set of professional.plans drawn up but because our GC has been doing this for a long time we felt very comfortable that he would be there to make suggestions along the way. And maybe he would have if he hadnt been so busy with all the houses hes doing. It's also a good thing that we are not inexperienced when it comes to home building. We have been able to correct things before they got to far along in the process and before they were too far along and we had to " live with the mistake".
This is in the guest bath and where the bathtub will go. There should of been backer board put up here because there will be tile applied around the bathtub. No idea why it wasnt done and now these sheets have to come down and backer board put up.
This is in the living area where the wood burning stove goes. There will be rock applied for a hearth for the wood burning stove to sit on and then up the wall to the roof top to protect the wall from the heat from the stove pipe. We decided the easiest way to correct this was to just apply the backer board right over the sheetrock. It wont show as the rock will cover it all and we will get that much more fire protection.
Work continues, and we have good weather conditions for the next couple of weeks. Doors are still slated for mid January along with the 2 windows.
