Here are the back stairwell footings.
The neighborhood continues to change. This house, across the street and on the corner, is a "remodel." I think they are leaving one wall. It will be raised another story as well.
Basement doors (fir, storefront clear glass)
The main floor store front style door frame, with side window integrated into the framing
Here is the front door, oversized.
On its side is the family room sliding glass door, with integrated windows above.
All of these door above need to be sealed, or course.
The soffit material was delivered and brought up to the main floor where it will be stained. It is some pretty nice stock (smooth face).
Instead of using the Tyvek, GMCraft 60 felt paper (Grade D) was chosen. This is typical high level felt paper (that is, it must withstand water for at least 60 minutes before it lets anything through), and comparable to Tyvek (albiet no vapor breathing ability). Proper flashing and good installation will probably take care of any potential problems. Also, since cedar siding is going on, the potential for leaching exists (though if the cedar is properly primed, which it is, there shouldn't be a problem, and Tyvek has come out with a chemical resistant product in the last 5 years). I think we could have gone with the newer version of Tyvek, but this is what was picked. It will work just fine.
