Spring Hill Real Estate - The framing is all done now, and we are waiting for windows and doors. Now we can start on the plumbing and electircal. Most people think this is an easy job, but as you can see, yow have to drill a lot of holes in in the studs and supports to keep the wires and plumbing from getting damaged.
I've seen plumbers cut floor joists in half to run pipe. Needless to say, it's ability to support anything is gone after that. Just another reason to have inspection done before you buy a new home.
It's also a good time to show the sub-floor. It's 3/4 inch tong and groove plywood that's glued down then screwed down. This should eliminate the chance of any aqueaks for the life of this house.
By the way, you haven't seen any materials that look man made (and save money). Some builders save money by using engineered wood made from sawdust and glue, and they cut back on the size of the lumber just to save a few hundred dollars. Lighthouse Builders doesn't cut corners just to save a few dollars.
