I did come back with my tape measure though. This, I couldn't find when I was there and needed it but now that I am back in NYC, it seems to be exactly where I thought I put it in the first place.
Helpful!
So the photos from my iphone will have to suffice.
But what terrific photos they are!
It been three months since Jewelbox went from this:
To this:
An almost identical copy but with a little more height, dormers and whole new roof.
Putting the old wood back up was the plan from the start and it does much to increase the house's authentic appearance.
Cladding the street facing dormers with some of the siding lengths that were too damaged to use on the side anymore is one of my favorite details so far.
Another one of my favorite details is the new siding that the crew milled on site to mirror the old siding EXACTLY!
It is gorgeous!
10 x 1” pressure treated wood that three guys have to maneuver through a saw at just the right angle to create the same look. It’s time consuming and probably not at all fun for them but they’re really good at it and it is THE difference between a house that looks original and a house that looks newly built.
LOVE IT!!!!
