October 7, 2016:  Beams and floor joists in garage.

 

 

Okay, here it is.  The beam that supports the La Cantina door.  It's going to be sooooo nice.

 

 

 

The garage feels totally different with the floor joists overhead.  Look at that sky.  There is a difference between "partially cloudy" on the west side and "partially cloudy" on the east side.  I choose east.

 

 

 

A large, sliding barn door will open to the all important "bike shop".

 

 

The garage from the front.  I'm happier with the size now that it's framed.

 

October 2, 2016:  Framing continues and beginnings of walls.

 

 

This is the view from the NE corner of the garage.  The main house is on the right.

 

 

 

 

Here, I've moving to the opposite end looking at the future site of the La Cantina door that we decided to replace the two French doors with.  http://www.lacantinadoors.com/.  More money (of course) but totally worth it.

 

 

 

 

This shows you how boring the front of the house will be.  Only two windows and a front door.  The  drama will be on the back.  More on that later.



 

 

 

This view is from the fireplace in the great room looking towards the bedrooms
