We have made much progress since the previous update. The City of Houston has approved our proposed replat and granted permits for the design. Construction is now well underway and we have finished the foundation, framing, and completed the cornice stage through “dry-in,” which is the critical milestone in a new build where the building begins to assert control over the elements and is able to resist most weather related events, principally rain here in Houston.
Units A and B with building wrap and windows installed. If you look closely, you’ll see the roofer installing shingle underlayment.A closer view of the roofing membrane. House is “dried-in” at this point. Shingles to go on next.
Can’t wait to put these Milgard Aluminum skylights in.And here’s a Milgard aluminum casement window. The frames are thermally broken, which means the metal is not continuous between inside and out, creating a much more energy efficient window. Plus, they look great!
View of garage.This is an area where three cladding materials will come together: stucco, fiber cement siding panels, and tongue-in-groove wood grained composite boards.
