Leftover lumber for safety railing
Chris, homeowner and handyman, built this temporary railing out of (mostly) leftover furring strips and 2X4s. The final version will feature vertical balusters in a design based on railings at nearby Shaker buildings. Meanwhile, the balcony is safer and we rather like the corn-crib style of these horizontals.

Inside electrical wiring
Dean Warner, electrician, returns to install more interior wiring and keep an eye on the deer walking past in the field. Fixtures are attached to the one-and-a-half-inch furring strips attached to the SIPs panels. In the next week or so, this will all be covered by drywall / sheetrock. This approach is easier than creating chases within the rigid foam to run wiring, or hiding it in a fat baseboard, which are alternatives when working with SIPs.
