Chapter 6 - Site Visits

Since my last post, Steve has made two visits to the site (July 9, 2013 and August 30, 2013) and taken a lot of pictures to document the progress being made on our project. 

The roof was under construction:

 


 
 
Our stairwell was under construction:
 


 
 
The heavy crane and several shipping containers were still on the site:
 



 
 
 
A lot of work had been done on the subfloor and windows:

  1. Beautiful home! I was surprised, based on our previous energy conservation discussions, at the long glass walls and number of windows. It has wonderfully open and airy feel to it. A difficult /complex project is coming to a super cool finish.
