Neighbors

So every morning we're greeted outside our bedroom by deer. I think they like our house very much. We often find them licking our windows I'm not quite certain why.


HERS rating...

This weekend we did the blower door test as well as duct leakage and overall leakage. Our energy rater Steve stated this is the tightest house he's tested. I'm assuming thats a pretty good thing. :-) Hopefully all that will show up on our low PG&E bills..

Retaining walls..

These were required to pass our final. I think they came out looking quite nice. They are made from mossrock. I think it will blend in nicely with the hillside once we have the plantings in.





Its the little things...

Lights!

Power is on!

Setting up some things..

We were able to move some of our things in.. I've been so busy I haven't been able to post in the last couple of weeks. I promise I'll get some pictures of the outside together. Here's the only one I've found on my phone.



You can start to see the inside come together. This is the kitchen area of the great room.
