That’s some fresh insulation! Today, I am on site at a new construction project and I want to talk about the power of windows. In this project, we took about 80% of the structure down to the foundation and we built up the walls to 10ft. Our goal was to get that panoramic window effect. […]
This week I am on-site at one of my properties.
