The Waitsfield Inn's Davis room was in need of some serious work. The window which had at one point in time existed where Vickey (the Inn owner along with her husband John) is depicted standing had failed due to a multitude of reasons. The room was incredibly hot during the summer and cold during the winter - efficiency was an issue. Both windows in the room were replaced with high-efficieny Marvin double pained glass and the framing in the wall, where Vickey is, had to be re-done and re-insulated. A smaller window had to be installed to prevent moisture damage for back splash of the sloped roof that is right in front of Vickie in the above image; prior lack of proper preparation had lead to sever rotting.
In order to address the issue of over heating it was discovered that the ceiling/attict space above the room had no way of venting, hence we installed a large vent on the exterior of the building, which almost instantly cooled the room down. After all of this work was done the walls were completely stripped of the old wall paper (every surface skim coated with a fresh coat of mud, primed, and painted) and new carpet was installed.
In the end John and Vickie got a new room for the in that was more efficient, updated, and not busy.
Thanks again John and Vickie.
