We had to go up to Albuquerque for a few days after the last blog post. So we were anxious to see what had happened while we were away. A few items got tweaked.
We gained the start of the half wall to hold the plumbing for the kitchen island.
The windows on either side of the front door were dropped so that everything at the top lined up.
The enclosure for Jim’s shop lift was framed in.
But what is missing from this picture? Stairs! We still couldn’t get up to the second floor without hauling a ladder over to the house. The stairs had been promised days ago. So I called the builder who was aware of the missing stairs. I’m not sure what deal he struck with the framer, but the next working day we had stairs!
Once up there, you can see the wood shop in all its glory.
Finally, we were going to be able to see what our deck looks like, and the view from it.
The next morning we got up in the dark and headed to the house. We wanted to experience the deck during sunrise. Here we go.
At this point, we decided it was time to head back to New York. We were on the road later this same day. It’s time to let the HVAC guys, plumbers and electricians do their thing.
