Here is a photo of the old house as I left for work on Monday morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who would have guessed that it would take 9 months to build a carriage house and only 1 day to tear down the old house........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This adventure became weather dependent. With the snow on the ground Monday, Aaron called to say that he would start on Tuesday since they would not be delivering the first skiff until Monday afternoon.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a busy Summer. Most notably, Bill was made Captain of the 747-400 series airplane the last week in August. So with school and travel behind us, we could focus on the punch list that still needed to be done. Below are some of the recent changes with the house. There are few more to come - dependent on other schedules. I'll update when those changes take place in the near future.</div>

House numbers will help the pizza delivery guy a lot! And that will make Bill happy!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This shot displays the deck railing and the full length of the rain chain. With the deck railing in place we can now hang out there and not worry that Pearl will go flying over the edge when she sees a flock quail or a deer. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been raining hard! Here is a close up of the rain chain in action. It really is one of the nicest features on the house. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We also added a railing in the pool room. It is a safety feature and I now do not need to worry about my guests backing up and falling off! Now if I can just convince Bill it is not a drying rack!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Labor Day weekend we had a garage sale and really thinned out a lot of items from the old house. We transferred all our earnings into the painting above, a bottle of wine and a case for Bill's new iPad.</div>

Stay tuned - more to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A backsplash and glass shelves in the kitchen.</div>

The product is very beautiful, if you do not have to witness it being sprayed down, smell the moist clay and then having it scrapped off your walls. It looked like a old moldy house. It was very discouraging.<div><br /></div><div>Prior to our project, our sheet rock contractor had had success with this product on a number of different occasions. The only thing he did differently this time was to take <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">EcoHaus's</span> advise and use a different base product. The American Clay would not adhere to this product. As you could see in the previous photos, it began to pop off. We continue to have problems with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Porcelina</span> product we used on the ceiling. </div><div><br /></div><div>Our contractor was smart enough to check in with other contractors to see if they had similar issues. He found one that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">experienced</span> the very same thing we had when they followed <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">EcoHaus's</span> advice to use the mud plaster as the base product. </div><div><br /></div><div>After scrapping it all off, resurfacing the walls using the old tried and true method, it worked. However, we had to purchase new material for the final surfacing. This doubled the cost of this project. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">EcoHaus</span> would take not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">responsibility</span> for this disaster. Or even enter into dialog.

This is a photo of the one in the studio apartment. There is also one in the pool area. It is much smaller than I thought it would be. As you can see, it is about as wide as a door opening. This one will live in the entry area of the apartment. We are so looking forward to being warm!</div></div>Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17492895219951245363noreply@blogger.com0
