Quality used to be what it isn't!

With the roof done, eve's extended and gutters on, work was able to progress inside and outside this week.

Matt begins shingling the wall. The aluminum window from Island Sash and Door will be in soon. The door by dbBrad is ready to be installed now that the waterproofing at the entry deck and door threshold are complete. Flush transitions, always more attractive, are great for ease of use but not always so friendly with wind and rain.


Inside, recycled spruce shelves, from the same lot as the 2x8's on FrEdLey notch into a recycled doug fir post over which resides the 24' long steel beam and the beautiful 18' long Crystalite skylight.

The 2 1/4 fir flooring pictured is from ReStore. We came up short on our initial purchase (which was supposed to be by the square foot) and now they are out. Finding more flooring has been difficult as the quality of new fir flooring isn't what it used to be. Or rather fir (wood in general) used to be what it isn't! Second Use of Seattle will be supplying the remainder.
