Some more progress
Side entry/ courtyard, master bed windows , brick Unplastered , brick plastered .
Put on the clay ridge tiles on roof today but no photos, now trying to decide if I want to spend the money on copper standing seam roof on our low pitch roofs or standing seam brunt slate color.... Love the copper but hate the price . I did have them do all copper flashing and copper step flashing to come after brick . Trying to bust butt to sheetrock so I can set up my tools n take a month + to trim it out and trick it out with bad to the bone molding detail
