Picture Heavy Post Ahead!

We've all returned from our journeys. Luka and I went to LA to see my family, and then to Key Largo to see the Hajim's (notably, new nephew Leo).

We got back last night, and today GB and I went out to see the progress.

1st off, we ran into Tom the solar guy. He was planning on putting the panels up on the roof, but a short passing squall turned the roof into a scary, slippery slope.... so perhaps tomorrow.

In any case.....

It's starting to look like a HOUSE!
That's not the roof.... but the ceiling.... Hemlock tongue and groove. It looks fabulous!

It's amazing what a roof over your head does psychologically. While the house was open to the sky, we felt so vulnerable. Now there's a cap overhead... and it feels nice.

We also have a new stairway.

The purple beams don't look all that purple anymore... But they do look GREAT against the hemlock.

Looking down from our bathroom to the two stairs

GB looks happy!

AND!!!!!

the weather cleared up enough for the pool to be sprayed! Now we're ready to order tile.

GB poses ala Noam

This is the view standing at the far end of the pool. It's shallow there so you can stand there and look at the ocean.View of the house from the pool

Are we happy?? You betcha. We're really thrilled. We can't WAIT!
