Laying the Groundwork...
It has been a busy few weeks working with the Klein Family and their house is taking shape. On the job site, the basement walls have been poured out of concrete, water proofing has been applied to the basement and the backfill work is underway which builds the dirt back up to the foundation. Meanwhile the plumbers are laying the rough plumbing pipes and sewer connections before the concrete floor of the basement is poured. A large crane arrives and lifts the structural steel beams into place as they are set by the head carpenter John Vorce.
 

Meanwhile the Klein Family and Rosenthal Homes team are busy at work in the office. Vice-President and co-owner Emily Rosenthal and the Klein Family have been meeting weekly to finalize the lighting plan, kitchen plans and begin selecting flooring styles and colors. One of the biggest rewards of building a true custom home is that the owner is able to work with Rosenthal Homes and have input into each part of the construction process. As an example the family, their designer and Emily Rosenthal have met several times to discuss where furniture will be placed, how each room will be utilized and the specific needs of each family member so that the lighting in the house is placed in ideal locations for the family’s lifestyle.
 

While much of the progress is currently being made underground and in the office, in the next few weeks you will see this home sprout out of the ground and begin to take its final shape….
