Weeks 21-22 - Siding and Plumbing

With the structural framing complete, the contractors have now started wrapping the house with water-proofing and apply the redwood siding.

This week we also saw the delivery of the plumbing pieces that will get installed in the house in the coming weeks.

Week 20 - Radiant & Siding

This week we saw the beginning of the installation of the radiant heating tubes in the master suite as well as weatherproofing and installation of the redwood siding on the north wall of the building.

Below you can see the red radiant tubes being placed in the floor. A plywood subfloor goes over the tubes followed with the finished hardwood floors.  

Below you can see the reclaimed redwood being installed.

Seems we have an infestation of architects on the roof...

Week 18 - To The Roof

We have finally topped off!  This week marked the framing of the third floor and roof.  Soon enough we will be seeing all of the rough framing complete.

Week 17 - To The Third Floor

This week the framing continued and we saw the second floor take significant shape. The ceiling joists and subfloor were added along with several interior walls.  Below are a series of photographs showing the the second floor, which includes the kitchen and family room on the Park Hill side and the living room and dining room on the Roosevelt Way side.  The last few photos show the third floor and the rough framing for the roof deck.

Week 16 - To The Second Floor

This past week we saw the completion of the rough framing for the first floor of the main house.  The contractors have also started the framing for the second floor, which includes some perimeter walls as well as installation of the structural steel supports.  Soon enough we will see the second floor completed and the third floor begun.  It is pretty exciting to finally see the house begin to take the overall shape of the finished product.

Week 15 - More Steel and Framing

This week we saw installation of structural steel on the second floor that will support the front entry and the external entry stairs.  The first floor was also framed and the contractors will begin framing the second floor this week.  Below are a few pictures of the first floor and structural steel.

As the framing goes in, we saw one of my favorite places in the house take shape - the corner window of the guest bedroom.  I am loving how the wrap around window will frame Sutro Tower up over Roosevelt Way.

And of course, some pictures of us visiting the site.
