Tarasuk House 9/19/08

The Tarasuk house is still waiting the chimney cap but with the roof all finished and the windows going in the house is truly taking shape.  

Tarasuk Trim

The trim details for the Tarasuk Residence were kept simple but sill made elegant.  A stock colonial crown was used over square Facia and rakes with a modest return along the eves. A copper cap and cedar drip edge will add contrast to the trim after it recieves its final coat of paint.

Screen porch at the Tarasuk Residence

The Screen porch is a must in the Berkshires will be finished with floor to ceiling screens, Fir deck, and a beaded pine ceiling.

Framing

The House was framed in just over 6 weeks.  Daniel and I worked full time while Joshua was on for three to four days a week.  The house is a center chimney Colonial with about 2,400 Sq. feet of living space.  The basement will be half finished and the Attic although not finish, will have a full staircase for easy access. 

Foundation

A foundation that is level and square is just the beginning of a perfect house.  The Tarasuk foundation was without question the best foundation we have ever worked off of thanks to Lee and David Madsen of New York.
