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.

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

Gas fireplace was installed


Scott is framing kitchen cabinets/stove area
