Cornice continues 8/13/2010

The new cornice crew started Wednesday 8/11/2010; Louis and company arrive around 10:00am and get the grand tour and the lay of the land.  Louis and one other guy get started applying the fascia and drip mold while the rest of his crew finishes up a job in Lakeway--they should be in full swing on Thursday--and by golly they were in full swing yesterday.  The Zip tape still seams to offer some challenges for some of the crew so we ceased their efforts in installing yesterday, and we will be giving an instructional overview of the proper application this morning.  Roof decking should start to get installed today and tomorrow.  A dry-in has been tentatively scheduled for Monday--Torino with Austin Star Roofing, AKA, "Mr. I can't wait to start the job!"  Windows will be delivered Monday and installation will commence.  The mean old builder is cracking the whip on Janis to get her beams distressed or better yet I would say STRESSED!  It was Janis's birthday yesterday as well!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!  We got her a happy bouquet of flowers to match her happy personality!!  Then we put her back to work with her arsenal of tools of destruction--I thought this was supposed to be a construction project--NOT a destruction project--What's up with that anyhow!!  I told her we need them by Saturday--I think she nearly had a heat stroke.  Now that she is back the target is beginning to move around a bit as well--things were running real smooth last week--MORE WINDOWS--NO WINDOWS--MOVE WINDOWS--MOVE TUB (oh yeah I convinced her to leave the tub were it was originally planned); still belaboring over those pesky column designs as well--we're going to put her into cranial overload soon with all the decisions she will have to make like right now!!  Dale and I failed miserable in our attempt to talk her out of the funktified barrel roof at the eating nest--she is steadfast she wants the funky roof that does not go with any other lines on the roof--I have a feeling my attempts to persuade her on many things are dimensioning quickly--I'll be buckling under soon, and just do what she wants...It will be OK though--I'll just be a zombie saying, "yes dear whatever you want", but then Mike will be going, "but what does that cost!"  Better re-up that prescription of Valium!  Her are some pics from yesterdays progress...
