Great Walls of Fire!

The "blockheads" finally got their act together on Wednesday and, man, did they work hard. It was really great. They only had 7 guys, but they started at 7 am and left around dark. They came back on Thursday (new year's eve) and worked until they were finished. We headed out of town about 3 and they were still at it, so we are not sure what time they left. They did a fabulous job, especially since they had to work around the few existing walls still remaining.


This is the new front entrance, where you will be able to see straight to the lake from the front door. We're not sure about the height of the planters on either side of the entry, so that will be a discussion with Bob the Builder on Monday. If you are wondering why we don't have double doors for the front door - simple. No room. Such is a remodel....



The pool screen is finally down and the difference it makes is enormous, especially from the house looking out. This is the view to the back right side. I have always been puzzled by the houses on the lake with small windows - which is most every one. This will not be the case with our house as the large openings you see will all be windows. The large openings below are in the den/great room.



This is the back left side with the master bedroom on the left of the photo. The large windows are actually bay windows, which will widen the view even more.



View from the side. Love those windows! Let's see if I am still saying that after I have to keep them clean during the summer rainy season....
