Sept. 15-20- More flying ice cream sandwiches! (SIPS)

2 2

What happened this week? You guessed it…. More framing and more SIPS panels installed. The best part of the week happened when I was walking down the lane to the house, looked up and saw that the framers had built the kitchen walls. What makes this so remarkable is that you can look in the west window and see directly through the kitchen and out the east window- and it perfectly frames the view of the Cascade Mountains! WOW! This home is going to be so beautiful!

By the end of the week the framers completed the installation of the SIPS panels in the curved area of the house- from the garage to the north end of the kitchen.

This coming week should wrap up all of the framing on the kitchen and the great room! 

Saturday we mulched the entire disturbed area to prevent erosion, awaiting the native planting in late October. You’ll see the “teal colored” photos.

This week I included my normal weekly wrap up video and also added a flying SIPS panel video to show you how this is done. I also included several photos of a large hornet nest that I found in a parking space at the jobsite. It appears to have fallen from a tree and cracked open. It’s about a foot in diameter and is so beautiful, even though it cracked into three pieces when it fell. Fortunately, it appeared to be vacant with no hornets nearby. 

Thank you to the team for your continued hard work and beautiful results, We appreciate you!
