ALL ABOUT EVE(S)

Teams of carpenters and roofers are swarming all around and on the project today as they have been all week. What many refer to as the eves on a building is most commonly called Cornice (pronounced cornish) These are made up the soffit, the fascia and frieze. Today the fascia work is moving along very nicely as well as the siding on the addition.


The roof penetrations are being installed by the plumbers. These are the vents that allow the plumbing to work. They are also installing the drain arms.

Below you see the progress with the siding (all of which is cement fiber board).


With the roof deck installed you can now get a better sense of the scale of the new BAC and Nap Room.



The electricians have placed the boxes for the outlets and switches and will begin running the wire on Monday. The final proposals have arrived for the insulation and guttering which we will approve next week. Based on current progress we expect to begin our inspections for electrical, mechanical and framing sometime during the week of November 1st. Once those are passed we will quickly insulate and hang the sheetrock. I am taking a few days away with my family next week so the blog may not see much activity until I return to my office on Thursday morning. But with Dale Buchanan on top of things you can expect that the project will move along as though I were right down the street.

So many exciting moves ahead.
