Thanks to all!!

so close you can taste it

sorry no photos but I'd rather wait until it is done... which should be in a week or so... quite a transformation from when I last saw the place in mid-June.... Yesterday, I arrived in mid->late afternoon just as the "Boneyard" was switching to "Bach" (Bruce (see below) prefers classical in the evenings after the hard-cores leave)... the new structure is looking very very good but today my focus was more on the exterior ... decking, plantings and overall landscaping. It has been interesting to plan landscaping without the use of irrigation... grasses grasses grasses!!! The "lawn" that exists will stay but in a dry spell might go brown... green living can often mean brown. Gunner, a humble, hands-on Landscape Architect, is working his magic and we are boosting up the budget a bit to make the finishing touches really great

Here is my top 5 list so far:
- Solatubes - incredible light... really BETTER light than natural or bulb!!
- cork flooring - especially like the stair risers in cork
- IPE decking... that is some good looking wood...
- Bruce - really nice craftsman with an aesthetic eye... and not shy to share it... love that
- the view... it still really is quite something....

So, back to rounding up the last bits of furniture and furnishings... the fun part....

more soon!!

Our Gilasi countertops were in truck and spitting distance away when BOOM, hit a bump and cracked...do you think recycled countertops can be recycled?? that and unexpected permit fun for the hillclimber is torpedoing my return and Alex's departure from/to Nantucket!! oh the dog days of summer....
