The hardwoods, the Tiger wood on the top floor and the Brazilian Cherry for the main floor and the stairs received the final top coat and they look sweet!

The Metal handrails were installed and the Brazilian Cherry top rail is being installed this week.

The mail slot is very cool, the mail slot is at the front door and it slides down a custom chute to a basket to collect the mail in the front closet.  We built a over-sized cubby hole for over-sized packages.

The New Entry, Don't use the garage door anymore for the front door!

In the front entry their is a beautiful Tech light with red pepper glass for the chandelier in addition to the slopped ceiling that is lite with LED soffit lighting.

With the front entry closets the lights inside come on automatically once the door to the closet is opened.

Red Hot Chilli Light Fixture

The video intercom system is a favorite for the kids, when they got installed this week the kids couldn’t stay away, they were running up and down the stairs talking and looking at the screens.  The color monitors provide a good picture of who is at the front door nice and clearly so they can decide if they are home or not?

The custom glass panel was installed this week and did not disappoint anyone.  It is very cool!

A great place to start the morning

The Master Bath has contemporary vanities with quartz counter tops. One side has the sink and opposite the sink vanity is a make-up are with a large mirror, great lighting and an adjustable double sided lighted mirror.

The structural engineer set forth requirements to accept the SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) on this Beacon Hill project. The existing frame had to be able to handle the additional load of the second floor. This is normal whether you have SIPs or standard framing methods (2×6’s)

SIP being lowered in place

This photo illustrates what a typical SIP looks like as it is lowered into place.  On Wednesday morning, a truck will arrive at the Beacon Hill site and a forklift will take the panels from the flatbed truck on the street, up a narrow street, to a crane that has been setup and waiting for the panels. Then the crane will set the panels in place to the Fine Constructions awaiting framing crew.

GG brings donuts to the roof crew

I explained to GG (my daughter) that yes, donuts are great treat for the guys on the jobsite, the sugar gives the guys energy.  Then she asked why she could only have one.

The great thing about this location, and Beacon Hill, is the transit system. The new light rail has been installed, and I hope that they continue to make progress on expanding the light rail system.

In Seattle everyone knows what we are in for during the winter, rain, rain and more rain. Well we have been tracking the weather like never before. Every morning, mid afternoon and afternoon the office and the lead project manager discussed the weather and the predictions for what the weather.  Finally we had a 4 day break and we mobilized our framing crew and our crews to demo and start framing so we could avoid the rain.  Presently we have trusses showing up on Wednesday and we’ll be weathered in by Friday, Yeah!

This Fine Construction Master Suite addition is located in West Seattle. The addition is to the new 3rd floor with unobstructed 240 degrees incredible views. The design is by the Fine Construction Design Team. Our local architect listened to our clients needs and our interior designer brought together the color pallet that the clients loved and we are on tract to finish this contemporary project. No Doubt that this will be an award winner!
