Over the last two days the Tombleson crew installed all of the tongue and groove boards for the ceiling and it looks fantastic! The wood is so beautiful that we have decided not to paint the tongue and groove boards white (to match the BBQ room) but just seal them instead and only stain the beams.
Yesterday afternoon Mike showed up which was a nice surprise. He wanted to go over a few issues raised by our desire to extend the overhang at the front of the guest house an additional six inches as well as the placement of an additional support beam over the yet-to-be-built interior wall. Mike also had some concerns over the design of the insulation and exterior covering of the roof. We went over all of our options and then tried to call Doug the architect to discuss what these changes might cost in terms of additional time for the structural engineer. Unfortunately, Doug was in a meeting with another client but early in the evening we received a long and very detailed email covering our options.
Hanging out in the main house, we showed Mike the first time lapse video of the roof removal. His immediate response, jokingly, was "It's nice to see my guys actually working." Here's additional proof that his guys are getting the job done:
We also received the quote for the concrete countertops. It was higher than we had hoped for so we called the number on a Costco pamphlet and started the process of getting a second quote. We did get the final quote for the 34 sheets of Plyboo plywood that will be used for the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Angus at Plyboo really came through for us with a great price and now the plywood has been ordered and paid for and, hopefully, will soon be shipped to John Laughton's cabinetry shop.
You're right...the ceilings are beautiful as they are.
