Fall Color through the Bay Window

Backyard seeding

The backyard was seeded in September right after the installation of the septic system. Now green grass has grown.

Siding

All siding is done except the front and back porch. Here is the detail.

Chimney

It took several weeks to build it from ground up. It has to be at least 2 feet above the roof line.

Patio

Size 20x25. Initial design was to have the back patio at ground level, and there would be two steps to get to the patio out of the back French door. This somehow didn't feel right - so we changed it to a raised patio. It costs 10k more. But after it is done, we are very happy that we made the change. We love the patio. Here it is.

It has been a while

I haven't posted anything for 2 months now. Framing was exciting - you see big progress everyday. It slows down quite a bit when the real work starts. And there are so much small decisions to make. Here is the house as of today. I will itemize the steady progresses.
