A House Built With Love
The sculpting of the porch (tree) posts is now complete. The concrete will be allowed to cure for a few days and then the painting will begin. Today I took a few pictures to try and capture the new scenery. This will be a special and magical place when everything is complete and the landscaping is done. It makes me smile already.
The space looks pretty cool already from every angle!
As the color goes on the space will come alive. Stay tuned for more...

Today was another busy day at the house. The last tree in the proch area of the house was sculpted today and the stone railings were also finished. We are a little more than three quarters of the way around the house leaving only painting in those parts. I began the final ground shaping on the northeast corner of the house. By the time I finished that work it was too dark to take any pictures.
We also painted the bulk of the grout lines on the finished east wall. It was indeed the finishing touch. Phoebe joined us as we painted the line work and painted up a storm. She was delighted to work on the lower parts while we took care of things higher up the wall.
Tomorrow we have plenty of things planned. I'll be posting pictures of more progress.

While Bec was busy applying speckles at one end of the house we were busy at the other end mudding and sculpting the trees on the porch. In spite of very high temperatures we managed three trees and one beam. Tomorrow, we hope to finish the sculpting on the porch area, leaving only the back of the house to complete.
We also have finalized the final colors for the trim boards on the house. The small heart panels will be a warm brown with darker wood grain that blends back to the window frames. Colorful hearts will act as accent panels where the horizontal and vertical boards meet.
It is pretty exciting to see it come together.
