    Its not all that complicated but there is a lot of glass and engineered headers up high in the walls plus lots of shear walls , glulam rafters with exposed t&g 2x6 fir roof decking and iso board insulation on top in a hot roof

    Should be fun

    Stairs are not as easy as one would naturally assume.

    Had some issues with movement on my miters as the grain so active, made for alot of fun during the glue ups.
    And cutting the undermount on site was a blast. Wanted to save as much of the cutout as possible because it got such nice figure.
