Roof base is almost done

Here's the latest outside view


Our previous roof had no (as in none!) insulation. Our new roof has modern rigid insulation.


This is how they get those boards up there.


Here we are in our new loft. It's taking shape nicely.

Shopping trip to San Francisco

We went to San Jose and San Francisco this past weekend to shop for stuff and get ideas. But, first... latest pictures:


Most of the base roofing is in!


This will be the floor in our walkway and entryway.


For our master bath, the flooring/shower and vanity top.


This will be the tile in our guest bath shower.


This will be the floor on the main level and I'm pointing at a remnant we bought to use as an area rug for the Zimmerplex.

Don't mess with my contractor!

Yes, that is a high-tech bow.


A bit hard to distinguish, but our atrium/doorway is coming into view.

Framing continues

Another kitchen wall goes up.


Inside view of the same wall.


Look at the size of that beam! Wow!


This is how they get those beams up there.


All of our stairs - cut out.

Raising a kitchen wall

More of our house goes away. What will they leave?!

Roof going


Roof gone


See - it's gone


They're cutting out an interesting area of our new loft. Wait until you see the finished version!


Two great minds conferring - or - two confused dudes
