Details

Master Bathroom is still "work-in-progress", but the countertop, sink & faucet were installed a few days ago.


Trellis

The crew is installing the garapa trellis today! We used steel tubes & plates as a support frame and the garapa trim was precut and sealed prior to installation.


Railings

The railing cables arrived on site and the crew will install them in the next few days. can't wait to share the final look.

Insulation & R-values

One the feature of this renovation, is that the existing house & the additions are very well insulated and air tight. To achieve this, we removed the existing wall & ceiling batt insulation and used spray-foam insulation in between the roof rafters, blow-in spider insulation in the exterior walls and spray- foam insulation on the exterior crawl space walls. The R-values meet the new International Energy Conversation Codes requirements. The blower door test (to verify how air-tight the house is) will be performed at the end of this week, and we will share the results with you.
