It's closing in on two weeks since we moved in and while there has been progress, it still seems we have a long ways to go. But I thought I'd share some photos of the outside and highlight some of the progress.

| permanent address, temporary house numbers |
We are happy to have a permanent address...even if these numbers are temporary! In the next couple of weeks, we expect to mount a more permanent and LED-lit solution on the front wall.

| Stella the guest house |
Last weekend, we hauled Stella the 1969 Airstream Safari down to the property to assume her position as the official "guest house." It's nice to have Stella home. :)

| Gardner's shed |
The gardner's (that would be Karin Lynn!) shed is now complete. Too bad the light wasn't optimal but you get the idea. This little gem was constructed on site by Pat Crowe of Echo Reclamations and is from all reclaimed wood and metal. He did an absolutely fabulous job on it! Karin Lynn is the luckiest gardener in the North Valley for sure!
Here are a couple of front shots of the house. You may notice the addition of metal shade structures over these south facing windows. These were fabricated locally so they could be extended in the summer months (to keep out the sun) and retracted in the winter months (to let the sun in). We think they add a lot to the look of the house too. Modulus, a local contractor and fabricator, did the work which was designed by Leslie Buerk our architect of Kalyx Studio. Nice, huh?

Kristin is still here working hard with Karin Lynn on the landscape design. They are making great progress, using plants mostly native to this area. My sister, Cindy, is due in this afternoon for a short visit. Very excited for her to see our new home...even though it is still not quite complete. Guess it will give her reason to come back! ;)
