84 Day Progress Report

It has been exactly 84 days since construction has started so I've been wondering if it's time to take some kind of assessment. The assessment I've been thinking of has not only to do with the house, but with events in my own life. I've got a good footing on everything but it does feel like the little part of the world around me is changing and I'm trying to get a handle on it.


Meanwhile, look at what's happened to the Casa in the last two weeks. Some of these pictures will be pretty boring but hey, it's progress.

The dirt covered panel with the circular hole in it is the cover for where the water service was installed. We are now getting water from the property's own water line instead of the neighbor's. (contain your excitement)






Digging for the pool has started in this area. It will be five feet from the garage wall pictured below.

The angle of this picture is taken from what will be the pool's jacuzzi. The pool will be in the foreground. In front of the blank wall to the left there will be a raised planter with a 6 foot by 3 foot trellis. I'm not sure which vines to plant. The wall will also contain two light sconces.

Finishing this water themed tour, framing for the shower stall went it this week as well as the bed for the jacuzzi tub. It's kind of high and will take a step or two to get into, it's designed to take in a view of the San Gabriel Mountains while soaking.

This is the rear garden courtyard area of the Casa. I'm giving this blank wall the same treatment as the pool courtyard wall. The upstairs sliding glass doors and windows above the lower level glass sliders went it.
