Getting to one exciting milestone at least for me, the flush garage doors are being installed. While the actual cladding on them will be a little bit the doors will be in by the end of the week and we'll have a secure garage. These took a lot of planning and work ensure they went in without an issues and it looks like all that work paid off.

Overall these doors still operate just like a normal garage door, the install is where the difference is. As we posted before we had to extend our jambs outside of the framing using LVL to make room for our Rockwool exterior insulation and rainscreen. These allow us to jamb mount our tracks to "push" the door outward as far as possible to allow it to be flush with the LVL and then rainscreen will be fastened to it.

We'll be sure to post more on there as we complete them and start to get cladding on them.

We generally don't promote or engage in exterior renovations, but we certainly won't turn down a request from a previous client looking to enhance their home's facade. This particular project is truly transformative; the property previously featured an EIFS stucco front and T111 siding on the other three sides. As part of the upgrade, we replaced the dated windows with new Windsor models. Since the original home lacked a proper house wrap, we opted for HydroGap due to its superior quality. The small dots on the material facilitate the creation of a minor rainscreen behind all our DiamondKote siding, ensuring long-lasting durability for years to come.

A little late posting this but still some great progress, currently we are primed out and floors are starting but the drywall completing was a nice milestone on this home to pass (as with most projects) as we go from the more structure/mechanical portion of a build and turn to the aesthetic portion....and this one will be a show stopper on the aesthetics. You will for sure want to follow along for what the Obelisk team has selected with the homeowner for these spaces.

One of my biggest takeaways from Build Show Live wasn’t a new product or building detail. It was the final inspiration to get something across the finish line that we’ve talked about for years.

It started as a roadmap for our clients: What should you expect, how will the process work, and what can you expect from us?

But we realized it couldn’t stop there.

If we’re going to make promises to our clients, our team needs to know exactly what we’re promising, and our trade partners need to understand what we expect from each other to deliver it.

So one document became three.

Clients. Employees. Trade Partners. One process. One standard. One goal.

Building some of the best homes and remodels we can in Southwest Missouri.

People. Process. Craftsmanship.

I'm a little behind in posting this from a few weeks ago. Myself and our whole team when to San Antonio to check out Build Show Live again. Overall great show and I think we all left with learning something from the Build Show experts at the show or talking with other attendees. Overall my favorite show to attend as the size, setting, education and like minded attendees/experts. I think some really cool stuff coming from this, already have some new customer facing information and really excited about the BuildHD program they are working on, basically a documented version of what we already do so we can really show the difference in a Monticello Home to others.

The framers got the Rockwool all compelted in just a few days, this are pictures when close but not all the way there. You can also see the different rainscreen on the inside of the back porch. This is the ripped CDX plywood we had posted on earlier this summer that was dattoed on each side to allow water to drain. In areas where the Rockwool wasn't benefitting us on the added R value we chose to use this simplier rainscreen to save some money, in a few areas like the other side of this porch we did carry the Rockwool across the face of it just to ensure we were on the same plane. We could have looked at a larger rainscreen to try and match but the economics of that didn't work out to not just continue the Rockwool.

No ready for our Delta Millworks siding, got delivered earlier this week as well.

Our Rockwool coat is moving along nicely at the Nordic Home. Not only does this give us an additional R12 on the exterior of the home one of the biggest reasons to do this was to give a low risk way to get the recessed windows the designer, architect and homeowners wanted. If we just framed thick walls and put the european window in the middle it would work as well but then the detailing on that window "hole" has to be perfect, if water gets in there was have to 100% manage it and ensure it goes out and not in. With this method we chose we felt it was a lot lower risk for all involved, we could install the windows flush with the WRB and then use the Rockwool as what pushes things out and gives us the recessed windows. And with Rockwool being drainable if water were to get in this layer it will work its way down to the bottom or dry out to the rainscreen.

With so many of these looks there are many ways to get there, we try and look at these in a manner of what will give the look the homeowner wants, be the most durable and lowest risk for all involved and what is the most economical of those options.

Siding arrived yesterday and shortly that will start, going to really take shape on the exterior over the next month.

We posted on our Rockwool install at the Nordic house yesterday and mentioned the Rockwool serves as a drainage plane for any water that will get behind the siding and it will do it in two ways.

1 - You can see the texture on the face of the Rockwool which leaves some small space between our 1x4 strapping and the face of the Rockwool which will allow any water that is in this area on the surface to work its way down.

2 - Some water could get into the Rockwool itself which is not an issue as it is drainable so the water will work its way to the bottom and find its way to the ground.

Overall this assembly will work great to add the details to home with recessed windows but also add to its great insulation value and help manage the water that will get behind the siding.

Posted on some drywall details yesterday and found these photos in my gallery I took while I was on site. The view has always been amazing from this house and through this back window wall. Seeing it with the drywall up makes it even better as you lose the busyness of the framing, steel, window tape etc and just get to focus on the view. Outside the ceiling is still just framed, very shortly the installers get here and there will be T&G Delta Millworks that is installed running vertical on the house and up the rake in the porch ceilings.
