Poured in a Sonatube and then of course all joists for the deck are pressure treated two by tens Brian Wiig and is over here from regal home improvements. And Brian you've subcontracted this step now what is it you're doing at that juncture there right now Bob I'm actually I flashed this and I made it out of the break out of PVC coil stock and I took a little groove out of here. And I'll apply it inside the beltway kind of your own invention -- system for Iraq keeping the water from getting in the -- back there yeah. So that just sits on top of the ledger board -- it -- and you just tack it into place -- so box nails or do you just let it -- I'm actually nailed off with some. I'm coil trim nails quote trim out there on the evidence and it won't rust all right now the decking ryley's over here at this -- getting ready. To fasten some of the decking I've. Now this is mahogany isn't it it is yet and mahogany about it since is that dressed out to a full.

Actually it's not as expensive as you might think it's pretty comparable to vertical grain -- and so that's where really it's it's kind of -- decision for the homeowner who is us. It's a tighter grain than the fir though isn't it it's a tighter grain to how to -- yet. And it's that that's great and in this and in this case it's going to be painted because the historical district it'd kind of requires that right all right so. We're just using this countersink that which is going to drop out of all of our constant problem when shot -- to.

False beam here what they're new right yes these came from the rejuvenation. Lamp and fixture company and their terrific restoration style fixture.

Because this is an affordable house, most of the items in the kitchen were builder-supplied. The kitchen features oak cabinets and laminated countertops. With affordable homes, it's important to acquire appliances in the most efficient way. Big builders can buy everything wholesale but smaller builders often have to depend on the local mom-and-pop suppliers. BrandSource has an online network of 2,500 dealers who are locally owned but buy in bulk so the savings are passed on to the consumer. The main door of the refrigerator is at eye level and the freezer is a pull-out drawer down below. There are two separate compartments in the freezer so items do not get buried at the bottom. A dishwasher from Fisher-Paykel features two drawer modules instead of one so smaller loads can be run more regularly. The dishwasher is Energy Star rated and is extremely efficient. An electric range from GE completes the package.
