I just got back last night from San Francisco where we had our annual Disaster Recovery exercise and our next year strategic planning offsite (sort of heel to toe on those) – however, both went really, really well so the lack of sleep was definitely worth it. I have been laying low today (plus it is on and off again drizzling here)
Paul and his team have been making progress however and we went over to take a look.
Upcoming is the final decision on the metal roof color, the hood over the kitchen cooking surface and the brick work for the fireplace. As far as roof color goes, the roof manufacturer is Everlast Roofing and I really like the Brite White. It looks good, will have the minimum heat loading and will match the barn next door – so very site specific
I haven’t figured out the cooking hood yet but the brick looks great. Paul and I just need to confer and keep him on track 🙂
- Plumbing in the master bath is starting to go in
- The windows from Deck have started to arrive. Computer designed and CNC machine cut – Excellent!
- Paul’s team putting a Mahogany stain on trim wood. Paul and I discussed and decided that we wanted to keep the natural tone of the wood but to even out the colors. For the exterior siding – which is Cedar – we are just going with a clear oil to let the natural colors take their course.
- Sample brick laid out for the Rumford fireplace. I think it looks fantastic
- The first two windows are installed – up in the clerestory
- Detail of the Post and Beam construction that is a signature of a Deck house – along with the tongue and groove exposed ceilings Just beautiful looking wood isn’t it?
- the guest bathroom is going to have an integrated tub/shower assembly – and here it is sitting in the living room! The master will have a walk in shower that is hand tiled.
- trim that has been stained, stored in the garage. The shiny silver stuff on the left is hard foam insulation
