Just before drywall

After all the mechanical work is done and the insulation is
complete, it's time for drywall and plaster.

The exterior trim is installed and painted before the siding
goes on.   This is clear, finger-jointed pine with factory applied
primer.   All exterior trim is carefully joined, filled, sanded,
and finished with two coats of paint.

The heating system tucks neatly under the stairs.
The heart of the system is the Voyager condensing boiler.
Very high efficiency, quiet operation, sealed combustion,
stainless steel tank and exchanger, electronic ignition,
self diagnostics; A truly modern water heating appliance.
This unit is so efficient that the venting is done through a
2" PVC pipe, and the Carbon Monoxide measured in the vent stream
is less than a quarter of the amount safely allowed in
the air you breathe!

The first coat of "mud" goes on.

The ceilings will be skimcoat plaster.

As the drywall is being taped inside, the siding
is being installed outside.

On this house we're using factory stained cedar shingles.

The exterior siding nears completion as we prepare inside
for the finish work.

The walls are all painted now.   This photo shows the hand-textured
plaster ceilings.  This stays a natural bright white.
