Today we had another good meeting with Jason for our Pre Drywall meeting. Like many people we hate to nag, but he agreed that when building a home you have opportunities to make it yours - so little things like moving switches and central vac were all discussed and will be done.
Our biggest concern was in the additional garage, the frame above the footing by the door was cracked. Jason immediately asked "did we want it replaced?" rather than dodge the question - in the end we're leaving it there as there is a seal in place between the frame and footing.
Other things to note were where mains water is coming in - how dry wall will proceed and 60 days after cabinets are installed will be closing on the house. We had a previous update that they thought we might be in by Thanksgiving, but Jason now thinks it will be mid December.
Here are final pre-siding/stone pictures of the outside with all windows and doors in place.

We also added an extra "Pad" of concrete to the driveway, so we have additional parking for guests/boat.
The area directly under the deck is an enormous space which we don't want to waste by screening it off and potentially having a spa. Jason also confirmed that the door leading out of the basement will have a railing with steps leading down. We could extend this to be part of the deck/spa we put under the decking - let's see!
