Front Door Awning



Special blog update. Yes, two days in a row of some progress. Josh and Dylan (carpenters) made some major progress on the front door awning. We are really excited about this and think it looks great. Can't wait till we pour the concrete pad which will welcome everyone at the front door. Tomorrow will finish the rest unless we run out of facia or plywood. Bedroom level radiant is complete. Inspection on Monday. Concrete pour on Wed. Insulation starts following Monday. Then sheetrock. Meanwhile we have plenty to do. Finish installing speaker wire is just one task and lots of final checks before things get covered up....
Also just finished filling in the big hole we dug to install permanent electric line. Notice the two brackets that Troy made are bolted in place - ready for the master bedroom balcony. That will come a bit later... we are focused on getting in! We took care of our framing correction which was to install seismic straps on the east and west walls. You can see the strap (metal) and the blocking between the two bays (between the floor joists) Deb and I did it in about 4-5 hours of work which wasn't too bad. Got kinda hard when all the wires and such were in the way but we prevailed. All for now... Hi to everyone!
