Floor Decking?

The floor decking is down and the crew is beginning to put up the exterior walls on the first floor.

With this amount of progress you can finally see the house coming to life.  Even though I've looked at the plans a million times, I'm still amazed at how it all comes together during framing. 

Having a good framer that can look at the details and make adjustments to fit your needs really makes a huge difference.  We've been pretty lucky so far.

The pic above shows the bedroom in the basement. 
You can see the plumbing stub outs for the bathroom below. 

 Since the basement is being drywalled, we have to put studs on the exterior walls.

Notice the additional "blocking" between the I-joists.  This is done to prevent the joists from moving and twisting at the bottom. 
During last nights walk through we noticed that we need to move one door and we haven't got our joists for the second floor on site yet.  Both were minor problems that we'll get taken care of today.
