The temperature was down to only 11*C by the time we arrived, but at least the driveway was dry. Joey raced back and forth in front of the car as we wound our way up to the house. We honestly don't know where she gets the energy, but she really loves to dash through the forest and then bound across the road in front of us, only to repeat it over and over again. She did finally slow down as we got close to the house - just as well as we were exhausted just watching from the comfort of the car seats.
The house looked amazing! The roof was almost complete and the eaves were all in place. You could really see the final shape of the building now. We are so happy that we chose this design. It looks beautiful standing on the hillside, looking out across the valley spread out below.
We noticed that the remaining house materials were now on site. The windows, doors and siding were still on the trailer parked next to the crane, waiting for their turn to be unloaded and lifted into position.
We had brought lawn chairs and lunch with us, so with a couple of saw horses and a piece of plywood for a table, we sat on the deck and munched on our cheese, grapes, and trail mix. Apparently, it was lunch time for the local mosquitoes as well! They feasted on us for their meal.
Brian Foley and Louise de Marni (the original owners) stopped by for a snoop and a visit. They seemed quite impressed with the house and commented on the view from the deck. Carol showed Louise around inside the house while Brian told us about his "stent" operation earlier in the week. He was obviously doing well!
Sorry, the views of the house seem to be all the same now with minor changes each post.I guess we will have to wait for the windows and siding before it looks dramatically different again.
