a little drywall action........

we have been blazing...jon ennis who helped us out with framing came back to get the drywall moving. looking pretty good. almost finished... they have started MUDin' up the place. there is a flat wall that is driving me crazy so we will hack into it and furr it out a bit. the osb wall upstairs will be covered with bamboo as well as the floor and most of the ceiling. the furr down on the ceiling will be smooth, slick, glossy mdf panels.

level 5.....plz. a few fingerprint smudges here and there never hurt anybody.

finished is good enough for me.

more wood....finally

we have been messing around with little odds and ends trying to get our inspection. we finally got the green tag so we are able to get back on the wood siding to make room inside for sheetrock. eiji has been able to spend most of is time on the jobsite so things are starting to go more smoothly. hopefully we will be able to insulate this week and move forward. have a look........

more black

more steel stuffs

eiji and antonio have been working on the guardrail and gutter for the roof terrace. should look pretty good when painted out. hopefully we will wrap it up by tomorrow.

rainscreen....

we started the rainscreen this week. you get a much better sense of the texture and color when the sun hits. should contrast well with the 16" thick white concrete block walls on the lower level.
library/hall glazing is finished. there is a long slider set back in the 18" stl. plate frame.
living room from the spring. hard to see the other part of the house due to the trees. maybe we should cut them down.
