Getting used to slow subtle changes

Roof - shown for color.
After the fantastic progress shown in the last posting, I was looking forward to posting more big changes. I had a few trips to keep me occupied thankfully, because the progress has been disappointing. Along with a couple of miserable weather days there were some threats of storms which kept the roofer from finishing last week as expected.

The HVAC and Plumbers got back on site this week and there is some obvious work being done in those 2 areas.  The framers are making changes to meet the blue prints (god only knows what they were using for their work).

Plumbing

Small deck off the greatroom and porch was started.  This will join those two rooms with exterior doors and also step down to a patio.


Deck off the porch
Just returned from paying the balance on the windows and doors which are due to arrive at Atlantic Architectural Millwork (http://www.aamwindows.com/home.html) today. Hope to have them in by the weekend.  Roofers should finish today.  And framers return to install windows tomorrow.  Siding contracter should be able to start next week.  Of course, there is always an unexpected problem. I.E.  The plumbing contractor explained that the water service which he disconnected and capped in the basement is now under 5 feet of bluestone and concrete.  Maybe we'll have the only home in Manasquan with an outhouse and no running water.  I've been assurred "it's no big deal".
