And we have our first hiccup...

Welp, we knew it would come.  We have our first real hiccup.  After walking the house with my dad we had a list of framing issues.  And when I say list... a LONG list :(  Here's the list:

• Looking into the garage, the left beam up against the house is being held up by jacks but the jacks are sitting on two different 2x4s and they are cantilevered over the foundation.  You can actually see where one side has settled probably 3/8" and a gap then at the top.  (I attached a pic.)

What you cant see is that all of the 2x4s are holding up a metal beam at the top.  At the bottom you can kind of see where those 2 2x4s meet are basically "floating" and have already settled.

• The right side beam my husband text you about last week.  One side of the jacks are not sitting on a plate and instead they have put in several shims at the top between the jacks and the beam.  That happens at both the front and the back of the garage with that same beam.  (I attached a pic.)

The other beam in the garage.  We mentioned this to our Project Manager before, but I sent it in this list again just letting him know we're still concerned about it.

Same garage beam, at the other end.

• Around the exterior of the garage the plywood and trim are not nailed properly.
• Close to the gable the thermo-ply is not completely nailed or stapled.  
• Inside the house, the alignment of the doorframe to the basement is off by over 3 inches. 
• The stairs going upstairs are being held by 6 nails.  
• Walking around many walls and door jams are not nailed to the floor.
• The half walls at the top of the stairs are extremely loose with very little support.
• Also, it appears there is a closet framed in the laundry room, when we should be getting a tub instead.
• And lastly, the trusses and upstairs exterior walls aren't braced properly, per plan.
• One more thing, I thought you had decided the sump pump was going to go at the front corner of the house but it appears it's in the middle of the basement. 

I emailed the list to our Project Manager on Sunday and he got back to me on Monday morning.  He agreed there were lots of issues and assured me he had been in contact with the framers and let them know the issues.  They assured him they were not finished but everything would be taking care of.  I know it's hard to see someone's work as it is in process, but this list was a little too long for them to finish in 2 days.  So we'll be walking the house again this weekend with this same list...
