We've started to move some boxes in ...

... but the progress is still slow.

The stairs and decks are up. Our design for the 90 degree staircase was executed to perfection. The only down side is the use of treated wood instead of metal for the landings. We made that concession for cost and ease of build reasons. Hopefully, we won't be cursing that decision in the future from a maintenance perspective.

The design of the stairs fit much better with the concept of the house than the design that was supplied by the architects. Notice too the shadows and interesting lines that are cast from the staircase.

The posts that you see are temporary. The real posts for the big deck in front and small deck out back are in now, and hopefully the posts for the stair landings are on their way.

Visits by the San Juan County Inspector are on-going and the appraiser is due for his "final" visit on Saturday - at this point. ...

The inside of the house is done for the most part. At least what can be done is done. I have ideas to "finish" some the low voltage wiring: Cat5 and Speaker Wire. The sound system components have also been picked out and will be purchased after the sticker shock wears off.
