Getting Stoned?

Working on the stone
facia.

Ok, it's a cheap joke but it's hard to come up with fresh and clever titles for these blog posts.

As you can see they're making good progress on the stone facing--looks like they might be done in a couple more days. All the iron work for the awnings and roof supports is on site and waiting to be painted and installed.

Inside the dry wall has been fully installed and a base coat of paint applied and they're starting on the finish carpentry.

Frames for awnings

The concrete for all the porches, pads, etc. has been poured (see pictures below) and all the interior doors have been delivered. It's really starting to come together.

We're planning to install a murphy bed in the second bedroom. This will allow us to use it as an office and a playroom for Dada and still provide comfortable guest quarters when necessary.

With the Thanksgiving season upon us we're getting very excited about the prospect of finally being able to accomodate a number of house guests in reasonable comfort. We figure that if Dada sleeps in our bedroom (we'll have a small couch she can sleep on) then we can accomodate three couples, one in each bedroom and one in the multi-purpose room, plus somebody could sleep on the living room couch if they had to.

Here are more pictures of the latest progress....
