Nothing but Blue Skies

The only good thing I can say about Austin's record breaking drought and heat wave is that there has not been a single rain delay during our house construction. In the last three weeks the painters were busy and completed the exterior paint and front porch stain. We are happy with the color choices, the soft grays complement the parched landscape (and someday will go well with a little green). The roof is progressing, it should be finished any day now -- and then let the rains come.

As far as the inside, the dogs are still walking through walls but the veins of the house are all in: plumbing, heating/cooling, electrical. The sheetrock is sitting in neat piles throughout the house, we expect it and the insulation to go up this week.

We had a visitor this week so you'll see our guest room occuppied in the pictures below.
