This is the most difficult part, the flooring. The flooring is going to be jacked up and will require some serious rework to make it work, if it is even possible. $1k change now, probably 3-4k after the fact..

One of us is not on same page as to what "cased opening" entails.

My thinking was that it is basically a window space opened up in center wall connecting living and kitchen. This opening wouldn't fully extend down to floor and may not go all way to ceiling.


something along the lines of this:





It does suck that something can't be done now rather than after the fact. Would be great if builder had some flexibility. Sounds like it is what it is though.
