Shillman House Chronicles: Entry #20


The exterior walls facing Edmands Road on the two southern wings of Shillman House are completed, as are the windows and flashing. On the southeast wing, workers are putting up purple insulation board, which is applied to the block walls to create a thermal barrier. To the left is the three-story southwest wing.


 Another view of the southeast and southwest wings...from the fourth floor window of a future Shillman apartment looking towards Edmands Road. To the left, the southeast wing is wrapped in its vapor barrier. Its roof is already shingled. On the southwest wing, a worker is busy installing flashing around a window, while another is installing trim board around the edge of the roof to prepare for the roof shingle installation. The black strips seen covering the roof plywood will provide an added barrier against ice and water under the roof shingles.
