This week, Phillips Brothers got the Dream House fully dried in with a great architectural shingle. This shingle has good color and texture variation providing a great custom look. The plumbing rough-in was begun and should be completed in the next week or so. I also included a shot of the rear stairs leading up to the bonus room over the garage. The owners have included a full bath off of the bonus room, making this a great private suite.
Now that the framing is complete, the house gets wrapped to help with insulation and humidity contraol. The felt paper has dried the house in and the shingles are on the roof ready to be installed tomorrow. Some of the windows have been installed and both fireplaces are in place. What would this great covered porch be without a fireplace?
The framing is 99% complete and the dream home should be dried in this week. The homeowners loved the openness in the great room so decided to replace the coffered ceiling with a dramatic vaulted ceiling. See the first interior picture of the great room below. The view will improve with underbrusing and COE approved limbing up of the trees.
