Siding has begun and the "reachable" areas can be applied quickly by an experienced builder. We selected CertainTeed Monogram premium vinyl siding for it's quality, durability and no maintenance future. There will be three Restoration Millwork faux posts, centered to each of the return gables in the front of the house, in addition to the two custom posts that will encompass the front porch. These aesthetic features will add dimension to the overall simple design, yet remain maintenance free.
The overhead door was installed on 4/24/2015 by Adirondack Overhead Door. It is a Raynor Centura R18 insulated fiberglass door (Carriage House style with bean hardware) and a Chamberlain (of course!) LiftMaster opener.
This particular door opener can be used for commercial and residential overhead doors, and is located adjacent to the opening, on the wall instead of the ceiling. After some extensive research, we selected this model (Chamberlain Liftmaster 3900) because its phantom load (electricity used when in standby mode) is only 1 watt per day. Some openers can use as much as 25 watts in standby, which folks want to avoid, especially those building net zero homes!
