Jack and Lazaro

A few photos of screen options below.  The painted screen is Green mountain, notice the square edges on the interior and the more hansom exterior detail.  The painted screen is also made from CVG(Clear vertical grain) Cedar, which is more rot resistant.  The untreated pine screen is from Marvin windows and doors.  The screen will have to be primed and the interior round over is not my favorite detail, but the the price is much more reasonable.  The biggest concern is the exterior stops that hold the screen in place I find them to be unappealing.  Both screens  are priced in bronze screens which will weather over time.  The two screens are at the house and you can take a look at them when you get in.

Benjamin Moore's Gettysburg Grey

Tarasuk Window wells

The office located in the basement will be filled with natural light from the two large windows on the southern side of the house.  The two photos show both, interior and exterior views of the elaborate window wells with brick surround and blue stone caps.

Chimney Cap

The chimney cap was set my a local welding company Millard welding located in Connecticut.  The stone was a solid piece of granite 1 1/2" thick and a little under 4' x 4' in dimension.  The two guys on the roof were the Masons Wes Clarke and his son Wes Jr.  who also built the 3' x 3' Rumford fireplace in the dinning room.  The crane was in and out in about 15 minutes and everything went to plan.
