Closet With a View

This closet will have a nice view of the hillside and saguaros.

Awning Framed Over Guest Bedroom

This week, the framers have been working mostly on the roof.  Today, they were working on the frames of the awnings that will be over four of the windows.  We will be putting a rusted "Corten Steel" application on the roof of the awning, and then staining the exposed wood a dark color, adding a very inviting rustic feel to the house.

Neighbors

Well, we knew it was going to happen eventually, but were hoping it wouldn't be so soon. It would have been nice if we had clear views from this window when we moved in. But if they start constructing as quickly as our house is, we probably won't see that hillside.  At least it's a sign that the economy is coming back and people are beginning to build again.

View From Den

Here's a preview of what it will look like when peering out the den window; well, at least, if you stand in the corner of the den and look South.
