Completing the upper floor wall panels today


A change in plans as we move the entrance from the southwest side to the east side. We decided it was too busy between the buildings to provide access to all four units on three level with only 18 feet of space between the buildings to work with. The result would detract from a peaceful, full view approach and entrance to each unit. By moving the top floor unit entrance to the northeast side it will have a private entry and entrance deck just off the road so it will be the most accessible of the units in this section. Jason and Alfredo are cutting the entry door out of the Eco-Panel. We'll frame in the original door panel opening on the other side.

The floor panels were installed on Thursday 8/26. Hurricane Earl was threatening for early the next week so we decided to hold off on the wall panels since we can't be sure we'll have the roof on to support them before the storm arrived.

Hurricane Earl

How times have changed. With 2 potential hurricanes facing us we decided not to put up the second floor walls and risk not being able to support them in time with the roof so the crew worked on entry decks and scaffolding and we spent Friday and Sunday securing the site. Right now 7:50am the hurricane is forecast to pass just north of us, if it does we'll just barely miss hurricane force winds, we currently experiencing tropical storm force winds. Photos from the past few days will follow when the storm passes.
