9.22 Update

Lots of progress on the house in the past few weeks. The porch is built, the mahogany is down, the columns are up and the exterior shingling has commenced. There are several pictures in the photo gallery and here is a link to the Maibec web site. We went with their Bleaching Oil Nantucket shingle. Also, i have included a picture of the shingling detail the crew at CCCB did on the corners of the house. Instead of running finish board down the corners, they ran the shings right to the edges. Very cool we thought. Our friend Patrick says Steve saw this done on the Bell Tower house in Marion and has wanted to do it on one of his projects ever since. The insulation is also complete and the drywall has started to go up. As of this post, the entire main floor and 75% of the basement has drywall hung. The posts will start fast and furious now. Look for additional pictures later this week as the guys wrap up the shingling on the exterior and the palster starts to go up on the interior.
