What NOT to do!

Don't take an old deck, install wall sheathing, a rubber membrane, and then top it all off with carpet. The water stuck in the carpet will eventually find its way into the wood.

This job is being re-done with an interesting product called DecTek, http://www.dec-tec.com/products_membranes.cfm

Small Bathroom Dormer

Before

After (almost, not painted yet)

This a small dormer we built on an older house in the Highlands. The 35 sf dormer allowed us to tuck a small master bath in an area that was previously nearly unusable. More pics to come.

Back to work, between holidays and bad weather

We are slowly moving forward on Covered Bridge Road. The porch finally has a roof and the project is beginning to take shape. Weather permitting we will complete framing this week and begin installing windows next week. The energy efficient windows used on this job qualify for the maximum $1500 tax credit.
