It's time to remove the remaining original windows. Here the guys are working on the west deck sliders.




The opening is ready to receive the new window and sliding door units.




Transporting the unit from the Great room to the deck landing took muscle.

























Tony's retro-fitted lift in action.










The theater corridor windows minus the plastic.















The observatory windows.















The guys are psyched to install the Great Room sliders, the most difficult unit so far.















Exterior view of the west master bath windows. The white protective cover will stay on the frames until after stucco installation.





TLR's stucco crew set up the scaffolding and is prepping the walls.









The East wing entry door has been installed.















Todd Reed's crew put a layer of grey smooth coat on the rear deck wall. It looks much better. but is this the right color for it?








Trevor of RSI makes sense of the bundles of low voltage wire.











It's always nice to see Chris' smiling face.


This week he installed the two-car garage cloud lights.

















Roy keeps everyone informed on what to expect next.
Justin & Bertram of Genesis Innovations are measuring the stairs one more time to verify tread dimensions.






The powder room tiling has begun. The theater powder room is the darker bronze color.
The kitchen powder room looks great with the copper floor tiles in place. The walls of both rooms are next.
The east mechanical room is painted and waiting for the Rinnai hot water systems ...















A short time later, the room is taking shape. The tiling is finished, the baseboard has been installed and the first hot water components are in place.




















This is one of Roy's favorite rooms.






















The west mechaical room has been tiled as well.
