Construction Daily

Today I leave for New Orleans for 9 days to work a large corporate event for Avaya. So I had to meet with Richard and the electrician to talk through the wiring plan for the ceiling, since the wires need to be run before the roofers can install the plywood over the 2x4 sleepers than LCTF installed. In order to eliminate any communication issues, I created wiring diagrams for each floor, and numbered every circuit and where I wanted the switches located. Figured I may as well write it down because it really made me think through the functionality of the lighting design. Feel pretty good about the outcome, seems we'll have plenty of work light, as well as some nice ambient lighting over the tasting bar and catwalk.

We also spent some time with Richard discussing the roof overhang, and decided to shorten the eaves to 12" on the ends of the house. This will provide a more classic look and be less "cottage" - in addition it will prove to be a sturdier method in the long run since longer overhangs tend to sag after many years.

Looks like today is the last day LCTF will be onsite finishing up the dormers. Can't believe it's over!
