Custom window frames arrive on site - the white paper is the waterproofing flashing.
Gorgeous vertical grain Douglas Fir ... almost too nice to paint!
We worked hard to keep the joints aligned at the two CMU walls - a detail surprisingly easy to spot when it is not done right.
4 large supply ducts branching off from the garage, ready for the HVAC unit.

A rigid metal flue vent for the water heater (in the garage below).
The metal stair structure is installed on site after prep work in the shop. The beam is set off center from the 'center' of the stair to accentuate the width of this tall and narrow space.
Scale models inspecting the stability of the stair :)
A detail view of the main beam and individual tread supports - the thin metal tubes are temporary, there to provide a jig for the welder to work to.
Looking down the stair stringer, ready for the wood treads.
