A lot of learning yesterday! @Jake.Bruton and his A lot of learning yesterday!  @Jake.Bruton and his entire Aarow building team came down, spent the day with us and our window installers to walk through and install a few windows so our guys learned some of the tricks they have learned.  Its not going to go as fast as a standard flanged window....but also these aren't really a standard window anyway.  The R value on these are almost 3 times what a normal window would be in our market (U factor of 0.105 v 0.29)⁠
⁠
Thanks to that team for all the help and coming to check out our project!⁠

Last week we were meeting with the #Monticello_Mod Last week we were meeting with the #Monticello_Modern designer, lighting manufacturer and then also talking with @CatalystBuilt about some can lights we are looking to use in the main areas on the project.  These are impressive, quite a few mud rings, trim rings available for one can here, the ability to adjust the light beam angle for art lights that don't have the huge eyeball that hangs down in the room....and fully able to make all adjustments through the finished space with one hand. ⁠

Work smarter not harder. I love seeing this on ou Work smarter not harder.  I love seeing this on our #Hendrmore project (the owner did his own electrical given his past life in the trade). Instead of just leaving the wire out for install of the box later he went ahead and made all his connections, mounted the box and not it it truly just plug and play.  Doing this he was able to make the connection while things are wide open, not at trim out where he is working around a drywalled opening and little hole to fit all this in....and at trim out there is always the desire to finish and get in the house....now one step closer already.⁠

Special Delivery....from Europe. A little bit ago Special Delivery....from Europe.  A little bit ago we got our window order for the #Monticello_Modern delivered and unloaded.  These are going to look so great and perform even better.  All Schuco triple pane (except the garage windows are just double). ⁠
⁠
Later this week @Jake.Bruton and team are being nice and coming down to walk our team through installation of a window (I'm guessing not the 25ft wide 15ft tall one). Then over a handful of days after that these will all get installed and then we'll be dried in and able to start conditioning the space with our package unit.⁠
⁠
I've been waiting on this delivery for a while!⁠

After some delay in the best solution, lots of mea After some delay in the best solution, lots of measuring, fabrication and finishing the hood is done in the #MapleOakRemodel kitchen remodel.  And I think it was well worth the wait, there are always those items in a remodel (or even new home) that if you aren't 100% on and they won't require changes in structure, etc....wait until you are ready so you have no regrets in the final outcome.⁠

We got the garage doors installed after a long wai We got the garage doors installed after a long wait at the #Monticello_Prarie project and they look great...even the hardware side.  Given we have clerestory windows in the garage we went with a high track and wall mounted opener to not block the windows when the door is in the open position and it turned out great, we also added the connected lock from Liftmaster on this one for the added security, so when the door is closed it throws the deadbolt to add more security to the garage door.⁠
⁠
**Note the inside of the garage is not fully painted and the cords will be cleaned up once final electric is installed.⁠

Congrats to one of the designers we regularly work Congrats to one of the designers we regularly work with on another 417 Design Award win.  This is our #MapleOakRemodel project and it turned out great, the award was for bedroom and it was the attic space and existed over the old garage, we added on to it, bumped out a couple dormers and created a great space for this family.  Still overall one of my favorite projects, great design, great team to work with and great customers....cannot beat that combination!⁠

A couple weeks ago Dan and Chris with Rockwool cam A couple weeks ago Dan and Chris with Rockwool came out to walk our framers through the roof assembly technical details, give tips for installation and answer any questions them or us might have.  While there wanted to do a follow up video from the week prior about our full roof assembly and then get Dan in to help talk about the why's of doing this vs what a lot would think would be better and just foam the bottom side. ⁠

ROLL THAT TAPE. Always nice when the framers are ROLL THAT TAPE.  Always nice when the framers are installing the tape around the roof and they placed their rollers right up where they are working so once they get some stuck someone can follow behind and ensure all the tape is rolled in. ⁠

Clear Communication. So much of my job is ensurin Clear Communication.  So much of my job is ensuring to communicate with my team well, my customers and trade partners.  Make sure they have all the necessary information to give us the best job possible, keep them from guessing or having to make a dozen phone calls about something....which can open the door to a mistake.  We started a while back just marking all countertop areas for overhang since what I might do and what they might do could be different so we want to be clear what we expect in these locations.  It has worked well and can still sometimes bring up a call or need for a conversation but they tend to be more of a clarification item. ⁠

This roof assembly is looking great! This is from This roof assembly is looking great!  This is from last week and the framers made short work of getting the rest of the Rockwool down and getting it covered and screwed down with our ZIP sheathing.  Next will be taping this layer then more underlayment for the final roof.⁠

Almost forgot this! Instead of penetrating throug Almost forgot this!  Instead of penetrating through the roof with our kitchen hood vent and chancing we land on a standing seam rib, last second decided best to build a raised flat spot for this penetration.  So we marked below, drilled a hole through the plywood and Rockwool to find that spot, then pulled several Rockwool pieces (none are screwed down so pretty easy), built and flashed a box then put it all back together.  Its nice when your roof assembly will allow for a quick adjustment like this....closed cell foam underneath wouldn't have been as easy of a process.⁠
