Meeting Notes - 1/14/13

PM, PS, MN, MN2, JBC,

Doors - Met with Doug Handfield of LePage Windows and doors and finalized the Kitchen door with JB.  It was signed and ordered today.

Insulation - Insulation installation started today.  Will be ready for sheet rock next week.

Security - Pete is making a decision on security.  He is aware of schedule.  Needs to clarify number of smokes needed.  Big Mike will confirm with fire department.

Speakers - We confirmed that we will put 2 speakers front to back in the kitchen toward the range.  4 speakers in the sitting room.  The subwoofer will be installed into the cabinetry under the tv. Pete to supply dimensions of speakers and sub woofer.  The dining room speakers will be run from there own amp.  The wiring location is TBD.

Heat - We will remove one radiator from the staircase where it can be seen from the kitchen.  We can relocate this to the hall where the cracked radiators are located.  The other hall radiator can be replaced by the one that was removed from the mudroom.  The mudroom should be sufficiently heated by the radiant heat so no wall mounted radiator will be re-installed.

Guest House Countertops

Installed today 1/11/13

Heating issue

After receiving heat finally, yesterday, we were able to get some heat flowing to some radiators.  So far we have found 3 cracked radiators.  One in the master bath and two in the halls. The one in the master we can do without since we have another large unit and radiant heat.  The two in the halls need to be swapped out.  Barry suggests not using new radiators but making up the heat with high output baseboard elements producing high BTU's. Barry would build these himself and they would cost 60-70% less than the cost of new radiators.

The other issue involved with this is that there is asbestos wrapping both of these radiators.  We have contacted the abatement company and will have it removed.

Barry is putting together the costs to replace the heat.

Raised Terrace notes (From JB)

Here are some plans and an exterior sketch showing you what a raised terrace might look like on the back of the house.  Below are some comments:

1.       The advantages of raising the terrace will be a more natural connection between the terrace and the kitchen. 

2.       The terrace would be about 18” high – perfect seat height. - The terrace is that height or the stone wall? 

3.       The steps are captured in the thickness of the wall, so they don’t project out or cut into the terrace. 

4.       I would suggest bringing the lawn right up to the steps of the terrace on the garden side. 

5.       On the garage side of the terrace there is another set of stairs linking the garage door and the mudroom door to the terrace. 

6.       I am adding another gate next to the terrace to create a better connection with the terrace and the formal garden.

7.       The gas grill would go under the kitchen windows. 

8.       The screen of trees have been removed but there may still be a need for a single tree on the road side of the terrace to make the terrace feel more intimate.

PS Notes:  The window well will need to be filled in.  and downspout rerouted.
