More is coming together...

Stopped by the project today...it's funny because when I showed up unexpected, the foreman was really glad I was there so we could discuss some issues. Guess it's good that I randomly show up. They're putting the sheeting on the outside of the house - and have about another week. They've framed the new wall and breakfast nook and it looks quite sizable. The closet in the former master bedroom looks sizable still - although not quite as big as it was, obviously.

One of the questions was how to do the interior of the dormers. Since there is so much volume in the house, the foreman was concerned that making the dormers volume interiors would be overkill, plus, he didn't really have enough space to insulate them properly if we did. So, I was pretty easily convinced that the dormers didn't need to be peaked on the inside. They'll look plenty pretty as is.

They've also started sheeting the turret. This part is a pain in the neck for the carpenters because they have to bend the plywood. You just have to be patient with it. They bend it around the turret and will cut out the windows when they need to.



One more week of framing, but they start electric and plumbing tomorrow. We're going to do an electrical placement walkthrough on Tuesday morning. Deniz, the General Contractor, is eager to get the finish guys started and the exterior guys started - the framing was more complicated than he thought. Oh well - the house is looking great, no?
