Jan. 11: We have been busy with holiday fun the last few weeks, but the build has carried on thanks to the team!! There is so much to see and talk about.
Seeing the house from the road for the first time in almost a month was overwhelming. The build itself is an amazing journey - along the way we have met some outstanding people, skilled craftsman and artisans. I love being a part of the build, and know I am going to love living in this home.
Okay - where are we now....
In December, my devoted partner saw the build for the first time. The window installation had just been completed as had the majority of the interior framing - the build looked like a real house. The windows bring in light from around the Bay and the foliage surrounding the house. We also spent hours with the talented group of tradesmen, making a few thousand decisions (exaggeration??). I am sure we will revisit some of those decisions, but it feels good to be working to move things forward. There is a flurry of activity going on, with plumbers, electricians and carpenters all working at once - details to follow in the next blogs.
Surveying the build....

These windows will frame the fireplace in the living room - light from the West side.
