Deck Staircase

The staircase for the back deck is started. Two sets of stairs with a landing in the middle will create a grand entrance to the second floor. We chose to use wood, as it would have most likely been used in 1905. During our construction process, we have tried to implement materials and design elements to be "period" correct. Although, the interior has received a major contemporary upgrade, the exterior is still fairly similar to the original design.

Let's Rock!

For the first time in this project, we are moving through a stage faster than expected. The sheetrock has already been hung, and the finishing crew started today. They asked if someone could be at the building on a Saturday to open the building, which means we will be another day ahead of schedule. We will be painting and putting down flooring before we know it. Get ready to book your appointments ... we will be open for business soon!

The Insulation Is In

The interior insulation is complete! We used UltraTouch insulation, which is made from recycled cotton products. The project was a little dusty, but far more pleasant than working with fiberglass insulation. The UltraTouch insulation has a very high rating for sound absorption and thermal performance. The insulation does not contain any chemicals, which makes it safe for us and the environment.

Now we wait for sheetrock ...
