I am sorry about falling behind in my reporting on the house. It is looking amazing and things are moving along quickly. I am currently busy selecting lighting.
* * * * *
Friday, 10/19: Exterior sheathing continues today and into next week. The sheathing gives a layer of protection against outside elements, creating a moisture barrier.
Sunday, 10/21: Our usual Sunday morning walk-through. Here Mr. B is trying to figure out where the kitchen island will go.
Wednesday, 10/24: Nail pattern inspection passed yesterday. House wrap and cornice set to arrive today and start install. Rain yesterday.
Thursday, 10/25: Making excellent progress on eaves and housewrap today.
Sunday, 10/28: This time I went alone and took my time walking through.
The loft window is HUGE! I’m excited to see it with the 3 panels installed.
Plenty of available attic space up there
Monday, 10/29: House wrap continues. Windows and doors are scheduled to arrive and install tomorrow… pushed out one day to adjust for framing changes.
Tuesday, 10/30: Windows are delivered and are being installed today. Sliding back patio door is in. Roof decking to start after windows are up.
I stopped by around noon to check out the windows. I love how the black trim looks.
These RAM windows make up the entire living room wall to the backyard. They were getting ready to put them in.
It turns out there was a problem installing the RAM windows. There were supposed to come unassembled so the frame would be put up first, then the glass pieces inserted. They are too heavy otherwise.
Wednesday, 10/31: Windows are being installed today. Rain has been a factor. Roof decking to start tomorrow.
11/2: Family room windows are in. Loft windows are being mulled at the RAM facility. Framers will continue roof decking today. Window flashing to install next Tuesday.
Tuesday, 11/6: Roof decking completed today. Roofers should install weather barrier on roof before the end of the week to get the house dried in.
Thursday, 11/8: Water and ice shield is being installed today on roof before shingles. AC to start next week Thursday. Windows are being sealed with flashing tape today. Door pans to be installed before the end of day Friday as well.
Tuesday, 11/13: Tape flashing to continue today. Waiting for Ram Windows to deliver game room window to complete window package. HVAC is on schedule to start next Monday. Shingles are scheduled for the latter part of this week. We are waiting on architect for drawings for 1st floor connection to garage. Installation of front door is tentatively scheduled for November 26th.
Your house looks magnificent! It’s coming along very quickly too.

Thank you so much! I don’t feel like it’s that big, but I showed a friend yesterday and she thought it was. It’s slow-going right now, but I’ll have an update soon. 🙂
I haven’t been on twitter for months, and I am afraid that dratted Facebook filter has hidden most of your posts from me. Your house looks magnificent! It’s coming along very quickly too. You must have hired a great general contractor. I am so glad you are able to make all those decisions with relative ease!
omg it’s looking amazing! when’s the housewarming shindig? 😉
