Congrats.

Small bit of info, framing should be done, the roof should be on and windows in before house wrap and insulation are done. That is just basic knowledge.

Is your builder giving you a warranty on the foam board that says it didn't absorb rain and wont mold?

Stop worrying about where you are going to put things and worry about what your builder is doing. Just my advice.

My goodness, gammyt. Ease up on the nastiness, please. Advice can be given in a kind way. Whatever your problem is, take it out on someone who cares about you and will accept your attitude and forgive your rude behavior.

I don't disagree with the above poster, just in the way she presented her opinion. Question your builder and make sure he is taking precautions for your foamboard. Impossible to make a judgement without a picture.

I am with you, jea2007, I was quite unsure we could fit a king sized bed (which is still a pipedream anyway, and we move in 2 days!!) in our master. Now that the house is complete I can understand why my husband had that patronizing tone in his voice, LOL! The room is huge. It looks different on paper and I was very visual. When we were finished with our houseplans my DH said he had walked through our house a hundred times in his head and knew just what it would look like. Well, not me. The framing helped, but then the sheetrock really brought it home. Yes, very visual. I can understand that!

Congratulations and make sure your foamboard is protected, and your windows, when they get around to putting them in, are flashed properly. Do a search for suzysnowflake's experience. That will scare you straight!

Jane,

Congratulations on your progress. Isn't it fun to see your dream becoming a reality?

I know what you mean about wondering how the beds will fit, etc. I thought a queen size would fit on only one wall in our small-ish seeming guest room, without having to bump your head on the sloping ceiling on one side of the roof. Well, today the hangers put the sheetrock in there, and Wow. I can suddenly recognize that the bed has a whole 'nother position it can be placed in. But it took seeing the "walls" in the room before I was able to determine that.

Yah, call me visual. :o)

Im a little farther along but only by a month or so, its so exciting at this stage. Stuff happens real fast. Lets try and give advice constructively hear. Definitely ask your builder fo explanations on anything you are not 100% sure off. And I think imagining where all your crap is going to fit and how it should be arranged is one of the funnest parts of this stage so have fun and good luck!

Actually gammyt, the housewrap goes on before the windows so they (the windows) can be flashed properly.

Is your foamboard going on over sheathing? We have 1 inch over ours and we love the results. So far this fall, the temperature is comfortable without the HVAC kicking on and there are no drafts in our house at all :)

silly me I thought the time to consider changing things like window placement would be while they were framing. I have complete confidence in my builder, this house is strong and tight. Yes we has osb then a foam board and then house wrap.

remind me not to share with gammy t
