New Roof, Masonry in Front, Interior Wall Work

My green roof is nearly completed. A close up where you can see the seams. The solar panels will be clipped to the seams.
This is how the roof was delivered.
Parging the inside of the exterior walls. A brown coat of cement was applied to seal the walls and provide a smooth surface for the clay plaster. You can see the obvious difference when the Faswall blocks are covered.
The front walls nearly completed.
Below, the walls and window wells are complete except for the porch under the door. I need to fill in the part under the door with dirt, halfway up, to provide stability before Eberhard puts the cap (front porch) on the top to complete it.
Eberhard Construction put in a small retaining wall to hold the hill up to the front door, and put in one large window well in front of the two front basement windows. Eberhard had a great crew and did a very professional job.
Here, the blocks were delivered and readied for the walls.

Hi ,

Thanks for writing such an interesting article. It’s really good to know about the real estate and home decoration and renovation in detail. The roof over your head is literally your first defense against the outside elements. If your roof is in poor condition you risk serious damage to your whole house and all your belongings. Water leaks from snow and ice can do some serious damage to the entire structure of the building. Continually neglecting your roof will only make for costlier repairs down the road. The quicker you contact a reliable Minneapolis roofer to fix the problem the less it is going to cost you.
