Well... it's been a month since I last posted progress photos of this house. And, in that time, much of the prep work for the corner detailing at stuccoed base zone (Ground Floor, below BFE) has been complete, and HardiePlank siding has been installed on the exterior of the upper floors. Installation of HardieTrim has started. HardieTrim installation remains, as does all additional Azek exterior trim. I was very excited to see the installation of the Galvalume 5V Crimp metal roof started.
Side note: For this region of the country, I always default to spec'ing Galvalume 5V Crimp for roofing... it's the best "standard" choice when considering all factors: aesthetics, performance, ease of installation, and price... relative to standing seam and most other roofing materials (asphalt shingles not included since I try to avoid their use whenever possible). I did notice discrepancies between some of the details drawn on my set of documents and the building. However, it's important to note that the set of drawings I prepared for this project was very minimal. This stemmed from a predetermined date to break ground which permitted a very limited period of time for me to complete the set. That said, the Builder has been great about making adjustments when feasible... and, in turn, it's been necessary to accept certain unalterable discrepancies along the way. By the way, if I was to note the price/sqft of this home, I think it might shock those of you who know how expensive building in a Flood Zone, to such a high BFE, can be. One last note...
The siding for this project includes James Hardie ColorPlus® Technology, their multi-coat pre-painted HardiePlank siding product.
- Per the James Hardie website :: http://bit.ly/dhWXZ1 :: "... finishes are warranted for 15 years... it's the ultimate complement to the ultimate siding".
