Soffit Detail

Tim, Carlos and Fernando have been working many long days on getting all the fascia board and soffit details just right. This is a shot of where the kitchen bump out meets the house. We're going to stain the soffit and paint the fascia, the latter which ships already primed.

Water Table Siding Test

Alex mocked up a water table and some siding so we'd see what it looks like. The water table, which is a trim board that joins the skirting with the siding, is ripped down Ipe. Ipe is the same tropical ironwood we're using for our decking boards. The siding is cedar (look closely at the profile and you'll notice the water repellent design). The skirting isn't shown here, but we're going to use vertically oriented corrugated steel sheeting.

Seam Tape

The tapers went through the house today and applied sheet rock seam tape wherever two pieces of sheet rock butt up against one another.

Sheet Rock, Pt. 6

Here's our first filled-in preview of the stair tower as viewed from the kitchen.

Sheet Rock, Pt. 5

The kitchen is on the right, the hallway to the back entry and stairwell is dead ahead, and the living room is to the left. The window in the wall helps funnel western light into the East side of the house (the side I'm standing in to take this photo).

The brown paper is on all the floors so that mud cleanup is quick and easy.

Sheet Rock, Pt. 4

The kitchen wall sheet rock and corner bead is in.
