Building Walls! We chose 2x6 construction in order to allow for additional insulation. We'd love to be LEED-eligible but it's doubtful we'd ever pay for that. Our framer offered to put insulation in the headers above the windows and doors, which is an area often overlooked.
These are TGI floor joists. This photo was taken while standing by the garage door.
This picture shows the basement which is to be finished at a later date. It worked out nicely because we were able to incorporate a wall down the center into the future floor plan for the basement, providing structure for the floor of the house itself. This allowed us to save some time later and avoid having columns in our basement.
Standing in the front yard looking at the house. When we left today, they were gluing and nailing down the subfloor. We'll see what tomorrow's weather brings. Looks like rain.
