Which? The men or the house? LOL!
Seriously, they messed up on the front window. They're going to move it closer to the door so I can have my corner fireplace. But otherwise, that's what it looks like. Hopefully the roofers will come in tomorrow.
I got my bathtub. They delivered it this morning. Hopefully, I can catch the plumber and try to get a Toto Drake or a Kohler Class-Five (if the toto isn't avail).

what on earth is a Toto Drake? Sounds like a cross between a male duck and a little dog...

Toto is a toilet manufacturer. The "Drake" is one of the models.

Appnut, the beefy burly manly men were the cement mixer guys. These were skinny guys building the house. Neither does anything for me but at least somebody had something to look at.

Ok I have a stupid question....
I know others here have serveral washers hooked up to one drain...but I am thinking...
If these washers drain at the same time, is there a chance of overflow in the drain pipe? Just wondering.
I know there are others here, who have more than one washer hooked up like this, and wondered if this was ever a problem.
Hmmm, looks like the plumber got a little too happy with the torch. Hope it didn't burn the insulation all the way through.
House is coming along nicely Jason. When is move in date?

Based on my own experience, I don't think it's going to cause too much of a problem. In my house, I have the bathtub draining into the same pipe that my compact TL whirlpool is on. I have had the occasion when the washer, and the tub are both draining at the same time, and neither one backs up. I believe that is a 2 inch pipe they installed for you there. That ought to be enough I think for 2 washers to drain together...now 3 OTOH may be an issue!

Jason,
Looks like a fully hipped roof. Good choice for areas subject to high winds. Makes the whole house stronger, too.
The dual laundry hookup looks great, too. But I'm wondering why they didn't put a stub of pipe above each water supply faucet. Those are supposed to help prevent water hammer. However, there are devices you can add on later if this is a problem.

Wouldn't it be better for those washer hook-ups to be a little further apart?

Dado,
Probably not. It looks like the electrical supply is going into the third open stud bay... and that's all the space it looks like there is. I don't see a problem putting two washers side by side, with one filling/emptying to the right, and one to the left. Kind of like a "dressing to the right or left?" kind of debate, LOL.

Well, yesterday, during a bad storm, a small twister came and pulled two pieces of plywood off of my roof and demolished the frame of another house going up. So yeah, my house had more strength due to the roof being on.

Thanks for the pics, Jason, it's fun keeping up with the construction progress with you. Your laundry room looks very nice, I like that there are separate hot and cold faucets for supply lines - you can adjust your warm temps to whatever you like.
