Saturday night we got some rain - some heavy. Fortunately, they tarped the house very well. There were 2 spots where water pooled in the tarp but I could take a large broom and "push" the water off the "roof" pretty easily. Just two episodes lasting about 10 minutes each and we were good for the night.
Sunday brought beautiful weather and Lou showed and was impressed with the new space and increased height (about 4 feet) of the new ridge. Have to admit I was too. Never can get a true sense of space from a one-dimensional drawing. Then he asked the question, "Where are the 2x10s?" I'd been so enamored by the new blue ceiling I neglected to notice that the framers had only installed HALF of the 2x10 floor joists!
Couple of calls later to notify Tony of the misstep left us with no real option. For some reason framers didn't make floor joists the main goal. They'd have to do the other half first thing Monday. Lou agreed to pull half the house and then get there and work around framers Monday.
Even though I'd thought and planned and communicated with everyone, the plan went awry. Such is the life of a GC.
