Almost all work is going on within, although exterior deck work is about to begin. On the inside paint, tile, floors, and trim are all going in at the same time.

March 8th. Gypsum work is almost complete inside, custom stairs are being installed, which means that for the first time you can move through the house as intended from level to level. Outside soffits, gutters, rainwater leaders and fascia are almost finished.

Stucco has been finished, but the scaffolding remains for others to use. The metal roof is in place, and all the pandimonium is now warm and dry and inside.

December 17th. Mechanical and electrical work going on inside the shell. Stucco and retaining walls under way outside.

Septic system in place, driveway retaining walls mostly complete, house wrapped in tarps. Earlier delays require stucco to be done in cold weather, which requires wrapping the entire house and heating it from within while the work proceeds.
