The Great Room deck is nearly complete.





Friday, August 13, 2010


Roy saved this old window and had the guys install it in the 2-car garage to bring in natural light and a view.




Everybody agrees that reducing the size of the back door in the east master bedroom makes sense.





The wall is now framed to receive a glass door with a visible width of 3'.



This is the location in the west master bedroom that will receive a corner window to optimize the view from within.

The View!









The floating framing is ready to receive the Ipe decking on the Great Room deck.





The dining room and study decks are finished and look great.
Roy visited TLR & Associates job sites this week and came across this slab of stone from Telluride. It is very similar to the stone we are considering for the stairs and entry flooring but would come from Colorado rather than New York. The darker grey stone on top is a chunk of what will go on the exterior walls (in different size, obviously).


It's Pizza Friday and everybody is taking a well deserved lunch break "shortly after" noon (the delivery service is having a tough time understanding that construction crews need to eat at noon sharp.)











An uninvited and unwelcome guest.
This was the week for the first concrete work.

Ben Webster came with Dad Chris to supervise.




Working on the elevator pad.















The finished elevator pad.


















The East entrance stairs are formed & ready for concrete as well.
The Coggins & Sons micropile crew is finished with their challenging job. great work guys!
















Arc City installed tension support channels over the wall anchors in the den area to hold these anchors in place.
