The weather finally turned against us this week, and two days of rain resulted in a slow start. By mid-week the weather improved, though, and we ended the week with the second story framed and ready for the roof above. More lumber is scheduled for delivery early next week. In the meantime, framing for the upper porches is under way.
Things still look good for having a roof overhead by year end, if not sooner, and window and door installations will soon follow. We need to make a final decision on the front door, but we're leaning toward this mahogany 4-lite door with sidelights...
Window selection is complete and our order placed... we specified hurricane-resistant impact glass, rated for 172 mph winds!!! Check out this manufacturer video if interested in seeing how these windows are tested in the laboratory. Viwinco OceanView window impact demonstration.
That's it for our update this week. If you'd like to see what the end result will look like, check out the new tab above that links to our exterior elevation drawings. They include a couple of 3D renderings to help give an idea of what the home will look like from ground level when finished. Enjoy!
