Construction

New Home in Dutchess County

This summer, it has been too dry, then too wet, and now too hot.  But construction must go on, and it has.  In addition to material shortages, labor shortages have also occurred, and no one can work outside when it is raining cats and dogs.  Despite these issues, our projects have continued progressing with only minor delays.  I give a lot of credit to our construction firms and their workers, as well as all of the subcontractors like masons, plumbers, mechanical contractors, electricians, excavators, painters, roofers, and more.  We continue to spend a lot of time trying to get the best value for our clients without compromising the quality we all expect.  Global turmoil in the markets has an amazingly huge local impact.

    Always a good read. Not sure what is my favorite…the architecture, the animals or the vegetation. Thanks for sharing.

    That Mo is adorable!

    In constructing the pergola, how do you choose the joist orientation? I have a great deal of sun and want to get better shade with it. Your projects look top-notch for sure. Thanks

    John, we generally align the smaller members front to back. If you go to our website and look at the accessory buildings, you can see quite a few examples.
