Random additions over the last few weeks

Kiwi relaxing in the clover and grass waiting for those puppies to come out in about a week.

Baby birds nesting under the roof overhang waiting for mom to come back and feed them.

A robin nest in a more private location just off our deck.

Some strange random bug walking on the handrail on the deck.

The decking on the roof walk is in process.  Several strategic boards will be removable so dirt can be washed out from under the deck.

The grass is doing well after the rain.

Our meadow above the parking area

Someone needs to keep the mice out of the trailer.  A King Snake, a welcome addition to the property.

Hard to imagine this being a patio, but some day this junk will be gone.

There was really no practical other location for the satellite antenna.

The view from below

The stairs leading up to the roof walk.

The stairs coming down from the roof walk flanked by the frames for the skylights into the master bathroom.  I think we will use privacy glass.

These are the open stairs up from the main floor.

The other view of the stairs - from the entry way.

The tile from Marina Bosetti and the partially tiled other bathrooms

Here is the Mural that Marina Bositti created for us.

This is the Humming Bird

Can you find the hound dog?

How about the gecko - does he sell insurance?

Of course an owl

A dragon fly to eat the mosquitoes which are not represented.

A butterfly

Lady bugs going after a couple of aphids
Here are the side walls


The view of the bathroom from the entrance.


The downstairs bathroom uses iridescent glass tiles

The color changes with the angle to the light.  This picture gives a hint but doesn't do it justicel

This is the Master Bath Shower

 

This onix will be made into a strip that wraps around the Master Bathroom above the tile in the previous pictures at about 6 ft in height.  Then the white tile will be added above it in the shower.

This is the layout of the quartzite for the vanities, caps of the knee walls, thresholds, and benches in the bathrooms.  As you can see we are not wasting much.
