It’s been a long time since the last update and there has been a good deal of work that’s been completed. Windows were installed while we were away on holiday, though we’re still waiting on a couple of large lift-and-slides doors in addition to our front door. We’re really pleased with how the place is starting to look. The windows really give shape to the structure.
The dining area and the glass walls look fantastic. We were going to opt for curtain walls for that area but budget restrained us to large simple glass panels. We’re really happy with them and we desperately needed to say no to something when it came to budget. Our default answer has been “Yes.” a good deal of the time.
The windows were installed just before the snow started to fly, which is good since we wanted the place to be fully enclosed before mother nature took over. Being fully enclosed also meant we could start running all the duct work, water lines, drainage pipes, data and electrical wiring. It’s great to see so much progress but the heat is on for us to start looking at finishings. Hopefully the next post won’t take us so long. Happy new year everyone.

These are awesome, what great progress in the great northern winter. What a mighty impressive temporary staircase.

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the building process. The contemporary windows complete the design beautifully. Well chosen.

Hi Geoff, been following this for a while and have to say what a great story. You obviously have a gift designing for form and function. Speaking of which, can you tell me what you used to build this blog? It’s stunning. Is it all done by your own hand and eye?
Kind regards

I hope someday someone buys it, tears it down, and rebuilds what you destroyed, yuppies.

Is this website being updated anymore? Seems like the same thing that happened with the 360winnett.com website

Lionel,
If someone buys it they can do whatever they want to it; Tear it down, paint it purple, I could really care less. That previous structure was an unliveable disaster for anyone. Tearing it down was the best thing for it. Not sure what the yuppie comment is all about. What I do for a living, where I work/live and how old I am has little or nothing to do with our property rights and home construction. Find a hobby Lionel.
