" I'm -- you -- here at the beginning of the project here for your his partner William and how often do you make -- this. We're probably nearly blew through with at this point. Instant check on the progress in front -- going accordance with -- one of the -- And make sure that the client is this. Normally -- most of our clients have not -- for the contractor before. And that stuff to make sure that everything that is on the ruins that they've agreed to in the contract that until the way we had and well let's let's look overhead here is one question I have is did you specify that you put in insulation and hear this is that the ceiling between the second floor in the first -- to know whether explode rather."
" Actually it's interesting because we've we've got to try to get here to perform closed end to these kinds of things and although it's not on the drawing we. And happy to see that contractors put in insulation. To keep. Not for several reasons but -- reasons to keep the football on the plumbing noise from."
" For a -- and I think that's a very very good idea and they now what about this and vinyl tubing that's been here."
" Bob that there have been some new technology in the last few years it would copper tubing has been replaced with final will be lifted the heating system -- these. That we think -- the up report."
" So what we've got there is the they got basically of the heating system to supply all the warm water baseboard that's correct OK and it didn't. Did you the specified blue board and plaster for this job as a matter of course there was that's something that the at a plant wanted."
" What -- it when we started doing the level of finish that we're going to have to project the client that's that's what you'll tired of work yeah and we -- There's that'd be satisfied. With trying to get a really good quality plaster finish on it with a fanatical back. And out of equality and I think our planet the -- that we have food you'll finish. That would get think it will have a really nice look for what I know it's it's that's one of the best places to put yet. The money apple and a truck plant --"
" Now what about the design that neck and have there been any okay. -- time for the point of view that we started does. Not McCain who's been involved in. If you are remember we talked about the difference between -- part of the addition and the Lincoln park this. Having to step down before the ride. Has given a couple of opportunity. For able to put in the lower window here yeah take more advantage of the view of the back. And those sort of we had been cut corners about. That -- the work out. Are giving up -- carries out to put an -- event. Model window -- in here. That carried that the theme of the cabinet right right and we have a shop drawing for the window seat that -- and that will be building and up -- benefit but right here at about. You know another reason -- visit in the Arctic make sure that things have been rocked the way they -- Are supposed to be that good all right if you see you again I'm gonna go up and meet the contractor on the second floor."
" One thing that's common to any remodeling project is dust and one interesting product that we're using here is this floor reflector. Which is almost like and he's that you buy. Although it like that and it makes a lot of sense that you don't have to worry about refinishing your floors. Here's what we've made some major changes OK last week we connected to the new space now it's all been. Boarded up this bathroom has been pushed back into a walk in closet. So that we can put the top been back there and I guess the families still a couple of weeks away from having a bathroom back. As you come through the door you can see the new bathroom space and all the closets that have been finished off and let's interrupt. Paul. How -- o'clock. I just you know I just wanted to point out that it looks like it's ready to move it."
" That's right we're running my in the -- if you can come and you can clean -- that he might come home has. Okay mechanicals in the closet and back you really more like halfway there if you don't have. All the different trades to come through it that's correct halfway may -- just a little bit more we have all the firms into all the flooring and painting. The the -- that we hear and that is that we're just looking at downstairs. In the yes feeling is that the vinyl tubing do you really see this a lot. Much more about it very good -- New England that it doesn't preach it it very flexible and easy wouldn't eat. What this when there's going to be fun to trim. If it didn't regard if which is the interesting part of the job yeah that's one thing about custom design that you always come up with something that's going to be more than work going to be more like -- that's correct and these plaster and we're just watching him but the blue board. Dobbs this downstairs but look at the fine work they've done here with the plaster I think that -- the -- on the air sealing where exactly that's one way of telling it and what you're doing."
