In the morning, I picked up the meter base from Dominion Power. Dawn sent an email two days ago which indicated where we should pick up the meter base.
“The meter base can be picked up at our office at 907 W Glebe Rd. Alexandria VA in our storeroom. Storeroom hours are 7:30am-2pm M-F. You will just need to go to our storeroom give them the work request number and they will issue you a meter base.”
The frame work is considered done. The frame work walk will be taken on Monday 10/12/15. The next step is Mechanic stage. 
More windows have been installed.
Dawn emailed us: The meter base can be picked up at our office at 907 W Glebe Rd. Alexandria VA in our storeroom. Storeroom hours are 7:30am-2pm M-F. You will just need to go to our storeroom give them the work request number and they will issue you a meter base.
After roof is done, windows are being installed.
Dawn also sent several emails regarding the frame walk and also mention that we can view and select the slab for our granite countertops.

Framing is almost complete and you will be meeting your Project Manager for your Frame Walk on Mon Oct 12th at 9am. Please remember to bring your 400amp single service meter base with you if you have already done so. The next critical phase is the mechanical stage.
· HVAC, Plumbing, & Electrical Rough In
· Insulation/Energy Seal Package Installed
· Close in inspections
· Schedule Pre Drywall Walk
Mechanical Stage
The mechanical trades (plumbing, HVAC & electrical) will be conducting their mechanical rough in’s. After the mechanical trades are complete, the house will be insulated and the energy seal package will be complete. As a reminder, the house will soon become locked at all times. Access will be granted during normal business hours only and will need to be coordinated through our office. NDI policy states that keys and lockbox codes are for NDI contractors use only.
Mechanical trades will rough in your home, this includes HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors. After all trades finish their rough ins, a close in inspection is called before we can start drywall. After your utility companies run the lines from the street to the house you can then call for them to come back to install the meter(s). Siding & brick contractors will be working outside as well.
The Pre-Drywall Walk occurs after the mechanical trades have completed their rough in’s. The purpose of this walk is to verify that all of the special options you have selected have been installed in their proper location and to answer any questions you may have.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks, Dawn

You have an opportunity to view & select the slab for your granite countertops. We request this because each lot can look different within certain granite selections. This is not mandatory but we find that most customers like to take advantage of this opportunity. Please contact A&S Sales at 301-898-7400 to schedule an appointment or to let A&S know that you are waiving the selection process. A&S is located at 9834 Liberty Road Frederick, MD 21701 and your current granite selection is: BLACK PEARL.
The shingles on the roof have been installed. The roof is now water proof. The stairs have installed after the roof is done. The next step would be install the window.
Heavy rain poured last night before the roof was finished. No work was done due to the heavy rain. 
Monday. Started to working on the roof. It will rain so hopefully the roof can be up ASAP. At the end of the day, most part of the roof is up but the middle still not completely covered.
Dawn sent an email to update the status.
