Hello,

I'm hoping someone who's bought a Thompson can help answer this question please!

We stopped by our unit the other day, and saw that much of the framing on the first floor is almost complete (woohoo!)

However, it looks like they are framing the wall separating the dining room and living room as a full wall, instead of as a half-wall for the media niche and fireside gathering.

Is it typical that they'd do this to work on the top floor, and then re-asses and re-frame the 1st floor? Or would you consider this an error? Has anyone had a similar situation? Does it delay move in times significantly or at all?

Thanks for your help!

I noticed that as well in ours. What happens is that the have to frame the full wall for structural purposes and then cut away the portion and leave only the section for the media niche. Go back in a couple of days and it will start looking like it should.
