The siding team are finishing up the exterior and it looks fabulous.
The strange little bubble on the top right is a sky light tube that funnels light down to the master bathroom. Its not connected yet but should light up the interior when it is.
The fireplace is to be installed next week so there will be a small chimney on the out rigging from the living room and we'll have some sun shades erected over the sunroom windows. Yesterday the house was so warm in the sunshine we couldn't believe it.

As we walked to the car, these gorgeous springtime beauties opened to the morning sun....as if to remind us, once more, that we do not always see the whole picture...what was covered in snow only a few days ago is now the essence of spring...beautiful.
In seeing them, I was reminded that this is now, truly, our 4th season in America. Arriving in late June, a very hot late June, meant that we were really into an early summer...
At the house, things were moving at pace again yesterday, even though it was Saturday, the guys worked diligently to get the siding done so that they could begin tiling the floors on Monday...
The guest shower is finished, save for the grouting, and a bit of the tile above the tub, the floor tiles are also done...very exciting...
Upstairs the library/office shelving is finished...
And in the living room, the cut-out for the fireplace is finished, awaiting delivery and installation, which should be early this coming week...
Every day, despite the momentary setbacks and difficulties, we are filled with gratitude for the emergent beauty of this home, this vision made manifest, and, perhaps above all, the skill and absolute pride in workmanship of our designer/builder and his very talented subcontractors...the care being taken is palpable...
