ADJUSTMENT DATE: The interest adjustment date is the date from which your lender first starts calculating the normal ongoing interest that you’ll pay. Interest adjustment dates tend to commonly fall on the 1st day of the month after mortgage funds are advanced to the borrower. If the lender provides the mortgage funds on June 26, but the buyer’s monthly mortgage payments only start on July 1, the buyer has to pay an interest adjustment for the additional five days he owns the house. Lenders like to get paid for this time. As a result, lenders charge a one-time amount of pro-rated interest to cover it. This interest-only payment is called an “interest adjustment.” It compensates the lender for the time you held their money before your first official payment period began.

If you are building a wall for a home addition, garage or other structure, it is important to be able to read construction drawings to identify all the dimensions for the walls which are given on the floor plan and elevation. The walls are to be laid out the same as on the floor plan, with all measurements followed exactly. The openings for doors and windows must be placed exactly. It is important that the corners be set on the foundation exactly as given on the detail drawing on the foundation plan. Taking measurements from the foundation or floor plan, and transferring those measurements to the foundation, footing or floor slab is the first step in laying out the wall.
