a remodel update ...

Finally something visually discernible to post! I've been delaying this update, waiting for something worthy of photographing and posting. I am happy to report that the fence/trellis along the south side of the property is largely complete. The intention is to create an open, neighborly division that will double as vine support along the back of the vegetable garden created by the geometric raised beds. The fence and gates are being built by Norman McBride.

So, things are certainly moving along, albeit slowly. I am told that the studio will be ready for me to move into by mid-February. The garden renovations are not likely to be complete by then, but we should be well under way and in good shape to complete in March. Some of the initial site prep has already been done in order to lay the groundwork for the big push which will commence the first part of February. That phase will include the construction of the dining patio and the courtyard seat wall. Once the dining patio is complete a small deck/landing will be built off the back of the house.

I’ll post more progress shots as soon as there is anything to see!
