Foundation Forms Mostly Set

I met with Derik this morning while his crew was beginning to lay out the foundation forms. I walked around with him and Omar as them measured stuff and marked wall heights on the footings. We also talked about blocking out the doorways, so the slab can be poured into the opening. That will avoid the problem of being able to see the rough top of the foundation wall under the threshold between the porch and inside floor. I made sure we were on the same page about the porch wall height so the porch cap would end up the same level as the slab, so there won't be a step, and about having the wall across the front of the ramp the same height as the rest of the porch, so the ramp will be hidden.

We talked about the patio height. I am more convinced now that we'll have to have the balcony above the patio if we want it at the same height as the dining room floor.

It looks like they haven't quite finished setting all the forms yet, and it looks like they forgot to block out for the garage door. And I forgot to mention the plan for the glass partition wall on the back of the dining room, so I left Derik a message about those things.
