The last two days have been busy ones. The upper dormer window sculpting is now complete and ready for paint. With the weather threatening we are concentrating on painting under the porch roof. The crew is working on the third and final coat of paint on the ceiling. The trees are now ready for glazing and the walls are ready for the second coat of blends. Another few days and this end of the house will be complete.

The house looks better each day. And already it does what it was designed to do. We have a test each project needs to pass. Before we are done people must stop and take pictures of our project. That test has been passed a thousand times over already. Today we upped the ante. Today, as we worked a bus pulled up in front and stopped for the passengers to see. The first tour bus. The crew called to each other and passed the word from one to another. We laughed and joked, happy because the 'plan' was working.
