Patio - mid-sized contemporary backyard concrete paver patio idea in Denver with no cover

For this metal slate roof installation in Middletown, DE, we replaced the home's existing asphalt shingles. This home. built in 1830, faces strong winds often enough to rip up some of the shingles. Metal slate offers that authentic look with maximum durability.

this projet took over a year to realise after the roof was ripped of the house by quite a gusty wind! I had worked on many rooms of this house and was so looking forward to creating a comfortable and elegant living room for parents and kids. photo byMonique B. Ménard

Roof underlayment was installed during initial inspection to prevent rain water from leaking in where missing shingles were blown off during severe thunderstorm. Furring strips are installed at 3 ft spacing, nails with 3 in (12P) ring shank nails at the rafters (24 in spacing o.c.). This provides air gap for extra insulation, as well as, a solid dense lumber for the large panels to be fastened to instead thru the shingles to the roof decking (OSB), which doesn't hold as well. During another strong wind storm, the right gust of wind can rip theses wind sails right off with screws in the OSB decking. Screwed to solid pine, ring shank nailed to soled 2x8 rafters stand much greater wind resistance. Almost double.

There were closet design dilemmas throughout! The original hall closet was unbelievable. We had the challenge of creating closets from what we thought were real closets until we ripped the floor out! The doors were floating and moving and not really attached to a frame. In the end, the new custom wall to wall closets are stunning… and very real! They maximize storage space in style.

All of the drapery panels throughout the main level of the house were hand embroidered down the leading of edge of the ivory linen face panels with this moorish inspired pattern. A natural, open weave, sheer fabric is attached to the backs of the panels, exposed at the leading edges. This application adds lovely texture from the outside of the home, softening the ivory and blending with the stone and stucco exterior.
