The Garden: Project Update 508-1
Our theme outside was less is more. Along with the house and pool, we have to incorporate the septic mound, a water tank, and a storage shed into the landscaping.
Installing the Pool: Project Update 508-1
We have a narrow lot. It’s only 100? feet wide. We decided to raise the pool 18? above ground to make the pool a seating area as well.
The Bathrooms: Project Update 508-1
The two bathrooms use concrete (floor), ceramic tiles (shower), and hanging, or cantilevered, cabinets.
Skylight 2: Project Update 508-1
The skylight at the end of the long hallway draws the eye by brightening the space and creating a focal point.
Skylights: Project Update 508-1
We ended up installing two skylights instead of three, to save costs: one in the master bath and one at the end of the long hallway.
Soy Insulation: Project Update 508-1
The insulation is pretty cool. Its soy-based and has a very high R value for insulating the house. It is a closed cell green product that also has some structural value.
The Siding Goes Up: Project Update 508-1
The siding (shown below). We used plywood and battens. The plywood is structural and also acts as our finish sheathing. We love the look of simple board and batten. By avoiding a second layer of finish material we saved tons of money and time.
Framing the Porch: Project Update 508-1
The covered walkway is a key element in the design. It runs the whole length of the house and is the outdoor living space protected from the weather.
Framed: Project Update 508-1
With the roof trusses in place we get our first experience of the "complete" house. The concrete floors will be polished and used as our final floor so we are careful to protect them from the rigors of the next several months of construction. The framing happens so quickly, It is hard to believe that the house will not be done in a few weeks.
