Siding and Clean up

Light shaft with overhang and fan installed





Scott is doing clean up work- tightening up the tyvek,

applying vycor on roof deck railing (see tool below),

working with siders fastening

hardi board/pine to planter boxes





hot melt trigger glue gun -name cracks me up :)

Took one hour to add vycor to this one area-

long process- only 15 hours of work to go

Snow shots and 1st phase of siding

The house will have four

types of siding-

alumimum, hardi board,

exterior pine and stucco.
Top section will have
hardi board and pine,
middle section aluminum
and bottom/back is stucco

Not more than an

inch of snow but

you would never

know it from the pics

Update on roofing details

We have been talking to roofing consultants, other

construction

companies and clients that have used TPO material

on their roof.

Thus far we still don't know what next steps will be with the roofing contractor

but we are leaving no stone unturned.

We learned that the Marriott installed the same

material on their roof deck so we hope to view that later this week.

More interior Framing shots

Scott is still working on some kitchen framing-

this is a side view of where

the cabinets/stove will beAdded notes for electrian to install outlets in kitchen

Exhaust fan installed in light shaft.

This is a photo of the fan standing on the roof deck

Paved area by front door- 3 coats put on for durability.

Looks a lot like sandpaper.

Garage Slab Reinforcement

The garage floor was waterproofed

with HLM5000

which is a black tar-rubber like substance

that is troweled on the plywood.

Then, the roofer's applied waterproofing panels

and sealed the joints.

Waterproofing is key here since

our kitchen is below.

The concrete crew came today

and put re-bar & gravel in place

for the garage & shop slab.

Inspection tomorrow,

Pour on Wednesday.

Drying out the house with fans and circular window installation

We have two circular windows installed by the front door

Due to all the moisture in the wood from the snow and rain we have had fans blowing for over a week. This has to be done before drywalling can begin. We ordered the siding this week which will be delivered in the next 3 weeks.

Issues with Roof

The roof has speed bumps- of course, the roofer insists that wrinkles always occur after installation & will diminish over time. Besides appearance, we are concerned about the ponding of water and the indirect route that water takes to the drain.

Moving right along

Scott put cap on railing and on planters of roof deck


To save us some $ Scott is doing some interior framing. He's framed out some of the kitchen. This is the half wall dividing the kitchen from the living room
