On the boards:

This final set of schematic designs for a small home in Ocean City. Last time, we rendered it in white, this time, just for fun, we threw some color at the clients. They're probably going to be playing with siding options right up until the day comes to buy the siding, so let's let them think about standing out a little.

This picture is why you need to get a permit. This deck, stood, somehow, for at least 40 years. The client initially just wanted to give it a paint job and move on. Then they found some rotten deck boards, so they decided they should replace the decking. Then they found somewhere between 20 and 60 additional issues. Some were natural wear and tear (joist hangers rusted out.) Some where shockingly poor decisions during construction. We're pretty sure that this was not permitted originally, and while it did last at least 30 years, we're pretty sure that was more luck and a lack of use than good construction. How many safety issues do you see? We'll start with a couple you can't even see. There were no footers which had caused the center to sag (there are other factors there that you can see in this picture) and the ends of the decking were not actually secured to anything, just butted up against the rim joists and held in place with friction. Next time someone questions why permits and inspections are necessary, you can show them this deck, built so poorly that it only didn't hurt anyone mostly because it was barely used in it's lifetime. ...

The weather didn't cooperate on this site visit when we wanted to get a look at what this roof deck was doing for our clients. It's up there, right at the height restriction, and it can see all around the building. Even with the rain distorting the image and a lack fo getting to the ultimate level, you can see that it's something special. Hoping the clients get some drone footage of the home that we can share. ... See MoreSee Less
