Day 21: Framing the mudroom deck and garage walls

The framers were back to continue the framing. They completed the mudroom and entry deck and got two walls up.

The builders are using 2x6 construction and OVE (Optimum Value Engineering) framing techniques, which generally results in less wood and more insulation. Mike has been happy to do OVE framing, but is skeptical of the benefits, which is fair enough, but we are hoping that it makes our house greener. You can see how a window in the garage is framed above - a lot less wood than in conventional framing.
