The entire house will have fire sprinklers. I'm also using blown in cellulose in the attic and it's supposed to be best for fire. This is all one story so no living space is above the garage.

He's there all the way through cert of occupancy. Glad I hired him. I'm out there everyday, but it's just accountability and making sure the details are getting done. I have caught a few mistakes already that have been rectified or will be. He cut me a square deal and I wouldn't save any money without him. He's saved me money on framing, plumbing, and concrete already. His subs like to make him happy and that helps me. Plus I have his eye of everything and I don't know any better in many cases. Between my young family, my real estate team, and crossfit, I probably wouldn't sleep if I was owner/builder.
I'm really enjoying it! They chalked out the walls today and I got to walk through the house for the first time. Pretty cool!
