6/27 Update



We have started to cut, build and paint exterior trim for the windows & doors.



The blown in ceiling insullation was done on Monday.

The septic tank was installed on Tuesday, they just have to install the leach field - exciting aye!!!

6/24 Update

The well was connected this week.

The Well and the trench going to the house - we are close to having running water - but surprise - we need septic installed before we can start using running water....ugh ... details, details.

We should have plenty of pressure - 20 gallons/minute.  This storage tank will allow us to store water during the dry seasons.

So the amazing thing is that we did drywall returns; so no trim around the windows.  We also rounded the corners all around the window - this gives us a real "Adobe" look.  If you have ever been to Santa Fe - you know exactly what I am talking about.

Another example of the rounded window returns.

Porches - They poured our cement porches today!!!

The Front Porch

The Courtyard

The rooms are starting to take shape.

This is coming from the garage into the utility area.  The door in front of you goes out to the courtyard.  The first door on left is laundry, second is pantry and third is powder room.

 The Great Room and our fabulous front door.

 The kitchen is on the left, Great Roopm on the right.  You can kinda see the fireplace in the Great Room (although there is a piece of sheetroom leaned up against it.

 Guest bathroom.  Mom would have loved that shower with the low threshold entry.

 Master Bedroom with the awning window.
