Progress on Many Fronts


The size of the projects has gotten smaller, but we have more of them going at once. I have been working hard, along with the older gentleman known only as "Daddy" on creating a path up from my shop. This involved cutting through the bottom of a bamboo cluster - not work for the faint of heart!

In the meantime the electrician has been working on getting the power hooked up, and is now at the stage of running the underground main power lines into the house.

The masons have been busy in the meantime casting the floor and bench in my shop (the pipes sticking out of the front of the bench are my "anvils"), and trimming out the top and bottom of the window and door openings.

With the final masonry work on the window and door openings almost complete, we made a run today to Native Woods in Lucea, where we bought all of the cedar for the casings. Whew! Quite a week!
