\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I had an opportunity to take some pictures of the project from the deck of the house up the hill.\u00a0 As this is still a construction zone, the backyard is not yet BBQ ready, but it does have a nice amount of space.\u00a0 You can see the house faces the back of a Safeway store, but the road in front of the house is wide so it doesn’t feel crowded.<\/p>\n

The second picture shows just a bit of the side, but you can see the windows in the loft area.\u00a0 Dan says that there will also be 2 skylights added – one over the stairs and one over the small bedroom.\u00a0 When I asked how that affected his PHPP figures he said that with good glazing it actually improved since he was able to get additional solar heat gain.<\/p>\n

You can see the wet-flash<\/a> that has been painted around the window openings and Dan told me the windows are coming in a few weeks and will be installed immediately.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here we are back at street level. In addition to the windows, the Tyvek will be going up soon and the siding.\u00a0 After that the insulation will be done, the airtight layer sealed and the blower door test performed.\u00a0 Stay tuned for all the updates!<\/p>\n
