This week marked the beginning of fall, and with that, the annual first batch of chocolate chip pumpkin bread- with each of the crew enjoying a mini loaf. It was our little way of saying “Thank you” to each of the team members, and it was yummy too!
As far as the house getting completed, the SIPS panels have now all been installed! YAY! We’re a bit late as per our schedule, but we’re almost ready to install the membrane for the remainder of the green roof.
The concrete was poured for the foundation of the fireplace in the exterior deck, meaning that the mason can soon start to build the fireplace. It’s an intricate web of timing…. Fireplace installation, deck beams/roof installed, deck framing, deck flooring installed, etc, and it should all come together in the next few weeks.
The taping was started on the ZIP panels to protect the exterior from the rain that is coming next week.
The framers worked on the small office off the turret, which will provide access to the “secret” top of the turret. Hopefully, this will be completed by the end of this coming week.
The week ended with the installation of the strong wall in the southeast corner of the great room. Fingers crossed that those beams will be installed within the next week!
