Progress! The 'Tank is looking good. The cork floors look (and smell?!) amazing. My favorite detail is the fir slat ceiling. The pictures do not even do it justice. Grey floor stain (samples in photos) picks up the grain nicely and give a zebra effect, but if you ask me (I know, I know - you didn't) the natural look is H-O-T! A clean modern lake house with a ton of warmth is really coming together.

MAH JONGG is late and mah wallet is heavier

Remember my over-the-top seating purchase?? well, I have just been informed that it is running a couple months late... not a big deal since we won't be needing it until the end of the summer.... the good news, they are giving me an additional 15% discount because of the "inconvenience"... nice... now I can pay for that new hill climber...

Did we talk about the new hill climber yet?? No?? Well, we need to....

Interior Framing

Window Installation

The windows will really help to control temperatures in the house with interior blinds that block the sun and hinges that allow the windows to open wide, and they are placed both high and low in the space which will allow for great ventilation.
