and now. . . . tar (?)

That's right, folks. Tar.
Nice; shiny; black. This apparently has to do with waterproofing . . . .


Concrete molds are off, so you can see the outline of the house much clearer now. Here's a good overview of the whole layout.
The house is the largest structure, from the middle over to the left. The front right building you'll recognize as houndstooth studio. The back right structure - the square - is the guesthouse.

Here's the front left corner. From front to back, what has to fit into the section pictured is the library, our closet and laundry room, master bath and bedroom.

I don't know about you, but to me that looks like a tight squeeze. Luckily, the numbers say something different.

For the moment, we're going to trust the numbers.

Closing now, with a blanket of snow shot. . . .
