Late May Report

Its been raining...alot...so we've slowed down a bit (also due to the slowness of the window delivery). But progress is still being made mostly interiorwise. Work on Jerry's office (raising ceiling, additional supports, leveling the floor etc. plumber and electrician are trying to finish the rough-ins if we can ever get the final LED lighting plan done and confirm the layout of the tub. Hoping to see the windows within two weeks..once they are on...they can start with drywall inside, even if its raining.













This blue "form" is the beginning of a mold that we are going to use to create replicas of the garden "grids" that are in the old historic walls and that we are going to put into the new part of the wall (part of it was falling down). One of the original grids is the picture right above the "blue" one. We found this great guy Jerry Karlick who owns Florida Statuary & Molds. He can do absolutley amazing things with cement, concrete and fiberglass. Amazing!

Our May Trip

Don't have a lot of photos yet...will take some tomorrow...but progress continues on the house. We are experiencing some irritating delays on the windows which will delay us on drywall etc inside. But electrical, plumbing, air conditioning proceed well. Still working on LED lighting plans and starting to work with a landcape architect/plant people. Here are a few photos from the trenches...so to speak
