Final Marehaven Mansion Pictures




It has been a total of 110 weeks since we started this job. Except for some cleaning and some painters touch ups the job is done and the certificate of occupancy has been issued. I will put a video of the start to finish up later when I get the time to put it together.
For those of you that haven't followed along- This house was done using a new method of construction using a product called AMVIC. (Google now) Lol. The exterior walls are all solid concrete from the footings to the roof.

  3. I don't know about quicker Sue. We started this project almost 2 years ago to the month.I have never worked on a residential home that took that long in the 30 years that I have been working construction. I have worked on Assisted living complexes with over 300 apartment type units in them and start to finish usually took under a year. Of course I had really good sized crews of 40 plus men on those types of jobs.

  4. These are just fantastic, Mac. I have never seen a house even close to this in my life. Did you say the owner designed it? I would love to know what all those nooks and crannies are to be used for. (Maybe you can pose as a termite inspector and get some good shots of it furnished after they move in) LOL

  5. That's quite a house, Mac. I love that it's right on the water with lots of trees.

  6. Judy, the home owner had asked the guys clearing the lot for building to take down a few trees that he wanted down. In the lake was a kayaker with a camera. Turned out that he worked for the EPA. He shut down the job for 2 months until a deal was worked out to replace the trees. A couple of shrubs were planted to replace the tall white pines that had been taken down.

  7. How much acreage does it have Mac? I am guessing the easier the style the quicker the house?

  8. One might think, with a house that grand, there would be indoor plumbing. ;-)
