sound
I visited the site late last week for a long weekend. there has been immense progress over a short amount of time. windows are in and the house is wrapped in Tyvek. roof is on the the rooms are all fully-formed spaces. i arrived early thursday evening when the crew was long gone. i stepped up through the front door and couldn't move, overwhelmed by the space. standing still for maybe a minute or more, i could only breath and slowly move my head around as my senses were assaulted by sight, sound, smell and touch.
Friday was jam-packed with electrical walk-through and fundamental checks of spaces and framing elements. soffits and coffers look great, even in this skeletal phase. also met with A/V guy to brainstorm on stereo hardware, cabling and display ideas. all low voltage rough, panel and finish will be done by A/V company outside of the general contract.
Saturday was spent giving tours to lots of folks who came by, and just sitting around, enjoying the spaces. met with landscape architect and went through some ideas and requests. the majority of earthwork is complete, with maybe some contouring of mounds near the street.
plumbing fixtures are ordered and most surfaces have been selected, but not ordered. electrical fixtures and switch plan needs to be selected/finalized. most coffers will be lit with LED tape, if it fits into budget, as i am astonished by the cost of this light.
Sunday was a long hike then another great sunset at the house (see video above). Monday morning finalized a few details with the architect (niches in the showers and half-wall in bath 2) before heading to the airport.
