A big day tomorrow

Tomorrow promises to be a big day. We hope, with assistance from friends (Alan and Dan), contractors and others associated (willingly or unwillingly) with the project to hand the three big windows on the front of the house. In addition to this major event, we have the fireplace contractors, insulators for the garage, the plumbers, and finally the HRV system (heat recovery ventilation) installation starts. The heat system, air sourced geothermal, installation started with each week. We did a design upgrade in the front LVL beam to stiffen it significantly. This is where reality meets design. Interesting process to pick this piece of .25 inch x 3.5 inch steel plate from Novel Steel company in Greenland. It was a lot like the industries I used to intervene with when I was with Tyco and a step back into the 18th century. The front entry portico has been roughed in, the breezeway with bead board fir and fir beams is complete and orders placed for the siding. Pictures tomorrow!
