" Here in the kitchen family area we've had one delay causing factor these triple mullion windows that were supposed to put in here. We found out they were ordered with regular glass along the bottom. The way these windows are designed to bottoms are actually awning windows that crank out. And in the top two thirds of the windows fixed glass well if you have -- the operable or fixed within eighteen inches of lord have to be tempered. So there's a delay there another problem is deploring. The old part of the house had oak flooring in place which is he butted up against the old wall here. And if we want to add oak flooring to the rest of this area of the new addition space you really have to weave it back in which means cutting out every other piece practically. Very labor intensive so the owners haven't decided what to do about that. This entire section of the house which had two little bedrooms and it was meant to be left undisturbed. And it back. This bedroom has not been touched but this room which with their little boy's room. Unfortunately the window had to be. Moved about a foot and a half in order to accommodate the farmer's porch -- that was built on the other side of the house so these are the little unforeseen things that when their. You know when you're in the midst of construction can delay the project. Now this downstairs bathroom will also be their laundry area and we're getting far along here -- we just finished installing another one of these acrylic tub shower combinations which. Stage you can you don't have to do any ceramic tile work it even has. The grip bar in place already and you just put your drywall right up to it. And then I guess most of the plumbing waste from the upstairs bath is now completed you can see all this piping comes straight right down here to go through the basement. They've done a nice job of filling in with foam so that there won't be any draft coming up through the well let's go take a look upstairs. All right well here on the second floor will take a look at the master bath and bedroom area a minute. This is the area of the well I call it a great room -- the living room and of course we have this bridge area so that you get the enormous height we finished the installation in their last week. They've been working on the installation in this room which is the owner's home office. And it's a fair sized room haven't completed it yet. If you look over here on the on the eaves of the shed dormer. You'll see the venting duct that's in place so that we can have air from outside coming through the -- ventilate the attic space and come right out the rich. And of course we've also installed. The casement window if two of them in this room. Giving you view of the lake. They you to -- it because of the workspace. The lighting is a real important requirement if you look over had. We've got -- recessed cans right up against the installation you can do that now and I count eight in here. So if it's gonna be nice bright room to work yet but take a look at the other end and go into that master suite. OK now be. Bedroom here in the bathroom are all ready for plaster in this bedroom is almost there but I just wanted to show you cut a couple of the last minute the -- that have gone in. Such as this triple door set up onto. The deck out here this is wooden door on the inside and its vinyl clad on the outside so that you don't have to worry about maintenance that off. And then this is what really makes this about the location the view of the lake the breezes that you're getting all the time but I wanted to give you a look at our rope which is now complete. And one of the most important details of the roof courses up the ridge you see that strong black line what we have there at the ridge vent. Which then has asphalt shingles on top of it. That works together with the event that down here the soffit vent. Which is. This strip of aluminum that you see here so that you get a thermal current running through above the rafters there so that you never have moisture building up where the installation."
