Photo by the contractor, Steve Coleman. We are pleased with this simple triangular window in a big room with a vaulted ceiling. (Trees block the view on the closer side, so he had to go around the block.)  More interior photos soon, but here and here are some older ones during construction. It has beautiful cedar horizontal truss chords.

This 1972 budget modern house needed a tune-up. In the process of replacing the windows & siding, adding insulation, replacing the double level deck, and adding exterior window shades and a bright red-orange awning on the NW & SW sides, we also rearranged things and made the floor plan work better. That was the most satisfying part of the project, but it is hard to show it in photographs. Type “Navellier” in the search box to the right for photos of the process.

Here are some photos after construction:
