1615 Chaps Way in Steamboat Springs

Working their way around the Grand Deck,  Jaime and Luis seal the planking before setting the siding in place. Jaime works on the lift to wrap the sealing paper in place, then staple it down. Meanwhile, down on the lower level,  Reynar and Nelson frame out a chase for the HVAC ductwork.

  Work continues to install the ductwork for ventilation, and is nearing its Peak.

  Ductwork for the air conditioning system is ready to be installed.   Fitting between the rafters and joists.

  Focus on details today. Next step for the stonemasons is to install wire mesh over the tarpaper. The fine mesh will bind the mortar to which the stone adheres. Outside, some of the fixtures are being installed, while inside the electricians are tying it all together. Outside, Mario's guys move to the south side for more siding.

  The siding is just about complete on the west side of the building. The masons have arrived to start the exterior stonework. First step: tarpaper to protect the wood underneath.

 Framing the pillars supporting the Grand Deck. Meanwhile, Mario's guys continue putting up the exterior siding. On the south side, all the vertical siding is on, so now moving to the horizontal siding on the lower level.

  With all the balconies completed, the focus has turned to siding. Start on the west side. The pattern between the 4" boards and the 6" boards is completely random.
