03 August:
No more climbing ladders or shimmying up
the side of the frame to go upstairs! These specially built
stairs are capable of going up and down at
the same time... This view looks from the entry
landing up to the second floor. The stairs
to the ground floor are on the left.

04 August:
This was taken at 7:15 A.M. as Sandi was heading
to work. The walls were ready the previous afternoon,
but it was too windy to put them up. So,
first thing in the morning...

Wow! What a day's work those guys did. It
is really beginning to look like a house now.

08 August:
The VIEW!!! This is what it's all about. The
large opening on the left is the sliding door to
the lanai, and the opening on the right is a
living room window.
Throne Room View

08 August:
This one really takes the cake! This view is
from the master bathroom and approximates the
scene from "THE THRONE"! We probably won't be
doing as much reading as we usually do
