Azek Top Rails and Post Caps

Kris is doing a fine job trimming the Deck posts and Azek.

Better than I expected and certainly what I hoped for.

Sprayfoaming the walls

 

Obviously this was done before the drywall went up but I wanted to share the video to show you how cool this process really is. There is a reason YETI uses foam in their coolers. It's the best insulating barrier and will make the house "air tight".

Cabinets, Trim and Elevator

Kitchen cabinets - almost complete (missing island and one upper)

Adding the Crown and Door Trim

Yep! The profile of the trim is fitting for 10' ceilings

Working out the color selections.

A little too much blue for the ceiling but the "F" molding (yes, that is a type of molding and not a vulgar expression) is a great idea and makes the crown look so much larger.

Elevator cab parts. How do you think that install this large box
through a small door opening?

Elevator rails and motor assembly. Sure glad they know what they're doing!
Most definitely not a DIY project!

To assemble the rails that the cab runs on, a small wench is anchored to the floor of the shaft, then
they secure heavy chain at the top of the shaft with 1/2 x 4 lag bolts. A block is attached to the chain
and the cable you see to the right is looped through and secured to each rail section. For this install, there are 5 sections
that had to be hoisted and stacked one on top of the other until the unit is completed.

The motor and chain assembly is attached to the top of the rail sections.



Here the cab is being assembled inside the shaft on the support base that will
carry the unit up and down the rails. Next, I will install a Porthole window salvaged from a retired ship.
The idea is for the windows at each floor to align with the porthole in the cab as it stops at each floor.

Porthole installed. The bluish green color is simply the reflection of the paint inside the vestibule on the ground floor.
 

Trim above the door and windows is taking shape. Wainscoting next.
