Meeting Notes 7/16/12

Peter Millington, Peter Stames

1. Discussed masonry at mudroom door and window and determined that we would not need to do the arched soldier course above the header.
   
2. The kitchen island will be priced as white oak stained brown.
   
3. The beams in the kitchen ceiling and the timber arches will be stained white oak.
   
4. The breakfast room restoration estimate will include:
• Removing the timber and herring bone veneer to the substrate.
• Replacing the timbers with Cedar (?) and we will price infilling with herringbone brick and stucco and another panel scenario for best budget/aesthetic.
• Remove tile floor
• Remove floor framing
• Install "rat" slab and vapor barrier
• Install cross ventilation?
• Reframe and insulate for installation of new hardwood floor.
• Deck above to be ipe' on sleepers.
• Install extra scupper for water removal
• Rubber roof below sleepers,
• Install brick or wrought iron rail to bring perimeter walls to 36" minimum off decking.
  
5. We discussed location of a Laundry Room.
• Scenario 1 - Would ideally be located in the room next to the blue bathroom on the second floor.  This would entail installing a soffit above the entry door that would possibly compromise the top cabinet door but would allow us to connect into the appropriate vent.  This scenario still needs more confirmation.
• Scenario 2 - would be directly across the hall.  This is the easier of the 2 scenarios since there is venting available on that side of the house.
  
6. The chimneys are being priced as:
• Removed to below limestone.
• Limestone replaced with granite.
• Scenario 1 rebuilt in same detail.
• Scenario 2 rebuilt with simpler detail as value engineering
