First Night at the House


It's not finished yet, but we were anxious to have a sleepover.  Camped out on the upper deck. Listened to screech owls and crickets.  Even saw some of the meteor shower. Nice.




More pics to come soon, showing the completed rough framing, wiring, and plumbing.

Moving upward


May 25, 2012
Some snapshots of progress in series over the past few weeks.  Finally moving from the ground up.  It feels really good to see something above ground!


 


The garage is built.

Staged and ready to go.

Walls go up!!!


Here are some detail shots.



Imagining the finished product
