There will be a railing on my left installed on Wednesday. This is the corner of the portal (in the east we call this a covered deck). The mountains in the background are the Sandia. They are near Albuquerque (I think I spelled it right this time, Oh My!) about 60 miles away.
The second picture is from the same spot but pointing up to see the beam structure above my head. Pretty cool! Although the beams look brown, they are actually more gray (see the next shot). Also, the vertical wood doesn't exist. Those are actually shadows on the stucco. I guess the camera made them up as it tried to make sense of the photo. It couldn't cope with blue sky, tan stucco and gray ceiling.
The third shot is in the small "Great Room" (would that make it a "Good Room"?) again pointed up to see the beams that support the roof.We are still hoping for a Certificate of Occupancy on Friday -- it will be tight. The final construction clean up is scheduled for Tuesday of next week and the furniture arrives on Wednesday the 26th. Right now the site looks like an anthill with everyone working on their own thing totally ignoring everyone else (including the owners who are much more of a bother than a help) and somehow the whole thing is going to come together by Friday. We can't wait to move in. Life in the trailer is getting a bit old. Jackson seems to be getting bigger. Kathy is getting FOCUSED! And Craig is getting claustrophobic.
More later,
Craig! Everything seems so great! I hope you really enjoy yourself in Sante Fe! Be expecting an email from me in a few weeks as I will be settling into school soon...I leave in less than a week.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything and I will definitely continue to check up on the progress:)
Mr. Simpson!!
ReplyDeleteHaha great to see that everything is coming together for you. The house looks great!
Yea, I was bored enough to read your wall post and then read the blog, but that's only because I learned to write research essays fast from you! Giving me lots of time to do nothing... =P
Wow great structure. The stucco application really looks great too.
ReplyDeleteStucco is known to its extreme durability so; it is great that you apply it in your structure to help it be preserve.
