more good progress . . .

There was a brief lull at the beginning of the week, but LOTS happened at the end of the week!

Concrete has been poured for driveway, entry walk, and footers for entry wall that will provide a little privacy for a nice front courtyard. The drive entry had to be moved left and reduced to a one car wide width due to the drainage inlet off to the right . . .


This is from the carport looking back toward the cul de sac . . . it's lots of concrete, but will be great for off street parking during social gatherings and a great place for the kids to ride bikes, etc . . .


You can see the footers for the angled wall, that will be 3' tall and covered in stucco to match the house . . .


Interior paint has been applied -
Here's the livingroom/kitchen/dining room . . .


The kitchen/dining room - and nice view . . .


The master closet (minus the sliding doors)


Downstairs looking back the hall toward the bathroom, laundry room and Addison's room and up the stairs to the living room . . .


Some more detail has been taken care of on the rear of the house too - the horizontal beams across the left side of the house have been widened a bit to better match the width of the support under the deck . . .

Masonry guys have been working on the cmu wall for the carport - this will be finished w/ stucco after it's all done (can also see the beginnings of the forms for the driveway and our neighbor's agave plant) . . .
