Thank goodness for space heaters, as they are allowing our brick crew to work diligently in warmth rather than the 32-degree elements. They are doing a fantastic job! We visited the site during lunch today and snapped these shots. As you can see, the back wall of the home is now completed - they just need to go back in with the grout. We're thrilled with the results - I'm no expert, but I can't tell the difference between regular-thickness brick and this thin-brick product. It looks beautiful, and I particularly love the detail around the windows. They will also add a cement sill under each window as well. Here's their set-up - you can see how they are staying warm!! Probably not the "greenest" aspect of our project...
"We" (and I use that term very loosely) are also making great progress on electrical and plumbing. Here, you'll see that they've plumbed for the tub in Teagan & John's Jack-n-Jill bath, and they've also plumbed for the pimp shower in the master bath. The shower is ridiculously huge, but it is being fitted with low-flow body jets and shower heads - so we're keepin' it green as much as possible. That's a bench where all the tools are...
I can't say enough about the crew - they all seem fantastic, professional, and like they are actually having fun. They actually care about the project and ask us things like - did we place the can light in the right spot? I didn't even know I could have an opinion on such things! Lovely to see. Kudos to Sage and to all the subs!!! Can you tell I'm excited? And one last thing... the garage floor! Hooray!
