The Friday Evening House Update

With more Spring stormy weather this week and May Day protest marches, there was still progress on the house.

The plumber has kicked into gear putting the piping in place. Also we finalized the design for the room over the garage and the framers are going to town on it.

And the mountain of cedar trees we cleared at the beginning, which we discovered was a very expensive proposition to mulch, is being burned thanks to the lifting of the burn ban with all the recent rains. So far no protests out front that we're raising the CO2 levels and contributing to global warming!

Finally, the glass block windows are in place! Below per special request of the fine folks at Champion Window is a picture of them.

Here's a few pictures.
