Where are the roofers at today.....still up there somewhere

While the roofers continue to work on their part of this ....the plumber is working on the shower in the master bedroom. With 7 shower heads, we decided that we needed to have a 3 inch drain pipe to handle the water......so up it goes.


We are about 20k over budget on the plumbing and one reason is he doesn't like 90 degree joints.........so he works the pipes around by either bending flex copper pipe or two 45 degree angle joints.......which takes time...which costs money....but everything is perfect...........straight and plumb.


And while the roofers keep working on the roof....the stone masons are busy with the great room fireplace.......first up goes the scaffolding.......


The great room is 28 feet to the bottom of the rafters....so lots of scaffolding and on three sides........


While they work on the main part, the wife works on the sides and detailing it into the posts......it takes a lot of time to cut each stone to fit.




Where the word brace is, well the mantle is about 5 days out to delivery, so they skipped over that section.....also I painted the word brace....so they won't forget to brace the walls more to carry the weight....the mantle is about 800 pounds....more on that soon.....
