The house
From old house front to new one in 43 seconds
Makes it looks like the time flew by, which sometimes it did. This timelapse covers nearly nine months and contains primarily images when someone was present. It also makes it clear how little direct sun this north facing studio will get.
Rising sun illuminates grandmother oak
This is the dawn after the new moon in which the final bits of contracted construction work are completed. The dawn of the next stage in the building of the studio and school.
Two outdoor studios, the east facing deck on the studio and the area under the big oak tree.
Mostly done exterior.
Stairs to studio, hall to basement, five small rooms on the left.
Office in the far corner, main part open except for the posts.
Star sanding the deck surface.
This little nook at the NW corner of the house has a nice concret pad where the heat pump used to sit. I think it will be a good idea to expand that concrete pad all the way out to the sidewalk and put some kind of roof over it. An open area breakfast nook? Morning coffee office? The area under the porch is open, was home to racoons, or at least a hiding place. May need to put in some additional bracing underneath.
Star sanding the deck surface. Unfortunately that surface was indoor flooring and the coating I applied after the sanding did not hold. Entire deck floor had to be cut out and replaced.
Initial wall paper removal
If one were to paint a mural on this wall, what surface treatment should be used? regular vinyl siding or some other covering or some kind of exterior stain or paint?
Visiting the site
Addition project as of 6 May
temporary cold and dust barrier
Needed to have human occupancy of other side of big room before this place finished, so working around it.
the steps are a full 4 feet wide.
The fireplace works, but during wam weather it is also home to birds of some kind.
parking area being invaded on both sides by pioneering plants.
Notice how much that oak on the right has grown, and how the creeping juniper continues to creep out onto the parking area and the bushes on the left encroach also.
One of several bookshelves built.
