Complete

The project is officially complete. We got all of our planters installed - before the rain started. Also a shot of our completed outdoor sofa. And it's going to get warm when?

A place for R&R

We decided to do a built in bench/sofa with storage underneath. Paired with catalog available Sunbrella cushion sets it's a pretty easy comfort solution. The guys did a great job with mostly pressure treated deck board material.

Planters anyone?

We negotiated custom built planter boxes with our contractor. We're going to mount them but it should tie together the whole project. There will be 18 of them! I'll get a few photos once they're installed.

More finishing details

The crew returned today to begin our final details. Today they got our new rain gutters up and materials were delivered for our custom planter boxes. As you can see from the piles, they got a good start on production. We're having 18 of these built.

Wednesday - Opening Day!

The decks are now officially open! The guys did a great job today wrapping up loose ends. They'll be back next week to work on our rain gutters and custom planters. All of the construction debris should be removed tomorrow or Friday. We couldn't be more pleased!

Tuesday's work

The stair pickets are done on the third and second floors, as well as the stairways. Only floor one to complete. Material for ground floor skirting arrived. Nice day here, still cold though.

Monday's progress

Today the crew nearly completed the framing for the railings. Rather complicated and time consuming with all of the angles on the stairs. They also got pickets installed on the third floor. It's almost looking like a finished product.

Saturday's progress

The vertical columns are now complete and the roof is once again supported by the decks. The guys got quite a bit of framing completed for the railings.

Friday's work

The third floor flooring is complete. All of the metal bracing brackets are now installed. And materials arrived for the railings. Some of the first floor railing components are already in place. The crew said they'd be here by 8AM tomorrow to work on railing details.

Thursday's progress

The third floor framing is now complete and ready for deck boards. Final stairway is also in place. Once this floor is complete the vertical columns can be extended the rest of the way to the roof line. Then is should be time for railing details. The end is in sight!
