11 months and counting.....

June 2: We are going into the 11th month of the build, and it is now conceivable we will be living there soon!! Again, it is a week of small changes. Cabinet handles installed on the drawers in the kitchen, doors hung upstairs, and trim applied to baseboards and door frames in the guest suite. Of course, the siding continues to crawl up the exterior walls, and I saw painters working on the East wall that is mostly covered in siding. I took a quick trip up to Duncan this morning for another brief visit to the Live Edge Workshop to collect the 'off cuts' from the wood slab that is our dining table. I also got a brief look at the bar, while it was being hand sanded by the craftsmen at Live Edge. Sooo beautiful.

Handles installed on the island - really finishes the look.

Note how the siding is cut to trim the slanted windows.
