We've moved on to wrapping up those interior rough-in items so we can move toward insulation. Items like figuring out how to mount a TV on a solid stone fireplace with hidden wires. Turns out that careful routing and chiseling of mortar provides a place to run AV cables. We love to plan out design details with our computer model, but sometimes you really just need to stand in the room holding up a piece of 65" piece of cardboard to fully understand the TV mockup.

Here's our model used for construction planning. Now flip back to our post from yesterday - how'd we do??

Yesterday we showed a different angle of this addition from a higher elevation. But from this angle you can really see how steep the grade of the property is that we were working with. A challenge, yes? But it also opened up the opportunity to build an addition that didn't block the existing views from the second floor while also providing an opportunity for additional outdoor living space.

A fun angle of this rooftop deck coming together. We love how this property gives the whole project tree house vibes. 🌲🌳

“Dried-in” is the stage of construction when the building keeps water out without the final materials (roofing, siding, etc.). We use Zip and Advantech products so that our RIC carpentry team can handle the work up through this stage "in-house," so to speak. This helps us have more control over the process and helps us keep on top of the little details that start coming into play at this point in the project.

We're back to the Mooreland Farms whole home renovation and in this picture you'll see the AdvanTech X-Factor going down for the roof sheathing. One more sign that we're getting close!

The ADU project we've been sharing this week occupies the full second floor of the detached garage building. At roughly 500 square feet, this contained living space includes a bedroom with natural light and good closet space, a full bathroom, a laundry closet, a small kitchen, and a separate living room.
The functionality of the garage below speaks for itself. Two spots of off-street parking, let alone covered and secure parking, are the kind of equity you can’t get any other way in the city.
