Now you need to hire a couple of college girls to stoke the fire. Maybe cum to a live-in arrangement this winter.
Lookin' good, squerly!
Me thinks that if squerly tried that ....HE would be liveing in the wood shed and the two college girls would be in the house with the boss lady!!!!!!
Bet boss lady is a lot like mom.....she dont cotten to sharing !!!!!!!! Not one little bit!!!!!!!!
.......but then we should know that ......,she is stuck....err Picked you!!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of lights are you going to use in that room?
Our ceiling is similar to what you're doing and we have can lights. When built, they were centered down the room but that was inadequate light near the walls (which sucked for reading or otherwise on the couch). We installed another set of lights when we were putting a new roof on by coming in from above.

There's 4 can lights BC, 2 on each side of the room and then there is whatever lights there are on the ceiling fan. I hope it's enough. Given the amount of windows in the room I think we'll be OK. Sure hope so anyway...
LOL, that's Vic, he's a great carpenter and one hell of a nice guy. I think I heard him say "Women aren't wrong, sometimes they're just not right..." or something of that nature.Is he rolling his eyes or just looking at the bill of his cap?
Yep! got to have an equal amount of cord showing for the lamp that is never in front of the window.....Me being a woman with OCD, I would be willing to bet she's telling him about the outlet not being centered below the window....just sayin'.....LOL
Ceiling fans going up. Tile in master bathroom, kitchen and hallway going down. The tile in the hallway is bordered with strips of Asian Teak for a checkerboard effect and will blend in with more Asian Teak which covers the rest of the living room, office and master bedroom.

I didn't really grasp the concept of the wood lattice floor as you described it Squerly. That is amazing.
The house looks way better in person. Amazing use of space and technology thruout. Thoughtful little touches that will make living there special. Very well planned and executed design high on the side of the mountain.
Absolutely to die for!

besides the nebors might think they were revernewers!!!!!!!!
BAD position to be in!!!!!
OSHA would get ther Chevy Volts stuck halfway up the mountain, and begin sliding back down. the would lock their wheels trying to prvent falling off the mountain and would fail in the attempt.
Saw it happen (to a rear wheel drive Dodge pickup ) when I was there. Scary road up to that place.

LOL that's right, I forgot about that!
All wheel drive is required if you don't have a heavy vehicle.
Here is a picture of the house from the mountain across from me, about 5 miles away. I am alone up here except for a few families down at the base of the mountain. All good people.
When considering the effort that went into this project, just think about running underground power to the job site.

That does help put it in perspective. My house is 3/4 mile from the river, with a number of steep hills and ravines with lots of rock tween here and there. I have hopes to get power to the river one day, underground or via telephone poles, one way or another. Electric company wanted 15 k 12 years ago to do the job. Lord only knows what the cost would be now for them to do it.
