Nobody Light A Match

The lumber has arrived and they are almost ready for framing, but first they need to pour the concrete for the basement and the garage. Things are moving fast but I think this is regular pace. If you look behind the stack of wood you can see our neighbor's house which just started a few weeks ago. Their siding is already complete!

A bit of information about the lumbar. We were a little bit concerned about the lumbar just sitting outside to experience all the elements. Basically we were worried about rain which equals mold or mildew. Our PM was kind enough to explain the mechanics and treatment of the wood. The lumbar packages are not protected (covered) from the rain while outside but they are engineered in a way that it is mold and mildew resistant. He even went on to explain that they perform 4 separate mold inspections throughout construction process to ensure it is not an issue. What a relief. We feel like we got a really good PM and a great builder. Nothing like feeling protected while your house is being built.
