This post is about a week late but the first floor exterior wall is up. It took two days however upon inspection there was a header on the patio that was cracked and had to be replaced so this delayed thing by a day or so. After one of the construction workers pointed it out to me I looked for it but couldn't see anything wrong but I'm glad the project manager or whoever noticed it still showed integrity and went ahead and marked it for replacement. Unfortunately this meant delaying the next step by one day. Well one day turned into a few and one of the other houses that started the same time as ours ended up getting framed and roofed almost completely before ours had begun because they had to redo a step. All in all I don't mind because I know the house will be structurally sound and I also know that they will make up the time lost later on.
I took some pics both as the block was going up and once it was done. After the header was replaced I actually went inside and took pics from the inside also. At first glance the layout looked much smaller than I imagined but after talking with the PM he explained that it is normal for it to look small at this stage and then once the framing goes up it will look much larger and after drywall small again until paint.
