Wow, what a FUN week!
I was busy with finalizing the stain colors for the interior windows, trim and beams, as well as lining up all of the remaining subcontractors. We ordered our Thermador appliances from Frederick’s in Redmond and look forward to installing them in a few months.
Garrett and Patrick spent the week working on installing the two decorative trusses in the great room. The one on the outside deck has been installed for a month or more, but these two interior beams finally made it to the top of the list. There are some great photos of them being installed. It was fun to watch them do this work.
The framers built the soffit for the Zehnder manifolds in the lower level. What an improvement from what we had earlier that we tore out! This looks intentional and will be very pretty when it’s completed. They also added a soffit to house the Zehnder flex ducts in the wine cellar as well.
Mercer Painters will be painting and staining our house. This week they started by cleaning the natural glulam beams with an eco-friendly chemical that removes any residual from the water damage from being outside and exposure to the elements. We’re going to leave the glulam beams natural as they are so pretty!
The trench was dug to bring the propane to the house for the linear fireplace in the living room
On 1/29 we passed our final framing inspection- YAY! During the week we also passed our electrical, plumbing,and mechanical inspections. It was a big week in moving forward.
Friday was Patrick’s last day on the jobsite as most of the finish framing is now complete. Thank you Patrick for sharing your time and talents with us.
Thanks to the entire crew for another great week!
