Work is moving along on the exterior of this home in Steilacoom.
Mushka the dog oversees progress on interior work.
The custom Steilacoom, Wash., house we’re working on is being sided with Hardieplank siding and HardieShingle siding; the Milgard WoodClad doors are in and most of the windows. The house’s heating system has been installed and a subcontractor is at work on the electrical right now. Because of the house’s size, it requires a sprinkler system — that goes in next, followed by insulation and drywall. Stay tuned: We’ll be installing the elevator in a couple weeks.
Work progresses on this beautiful waterview home Fat Boy Construction is building in Steilacoom, Wash. Hand-framing is complete, the garage floor has been poured, sheeting is up, and a 30-year architectural composite shingle roof has been installed. Next up: Shear-tie panel inspection, then installation of windows, Tyvek, insulation and siding.
Work is progressing on this 5,700-square-foot custom home in Steilacoom, Washington. The Fatboy crew is currently hand-framing the house. In order to maximize the views of Puget Sound, we’re using Simpson Strong-Tie panels in the corners, so we can install large windows without compromising shear value (the ability for the walls to support horizontal loads). The craftsman-style house features an elevator, a universal design feature the homeowners chose so they’ll be able to remain in their home as they age and face the prospects of limited mobility. The home also includes vaulted ceilings and a water-tight second-floor deck; radiant heat is being installed throughout the home.
