Im betting ....Not!!
You would have a Whole buntch of company ...up on that mountin if ya did that...

I sure wish I could Mule but it's just too expensive.
I think the 5/4 treated decking will be OK on this job given that it will receive only a couple of hours direct sun every day.

Things are moving fast SQUERLY. But now we get into the details.
Electrical, plumbing, finishes.
Keep those pictures coming. Fasinating

Removed a couple of trees to enhance the long range view's. I'll take a few more out over the rest of the week. Taking my time on the tree removal as they are easy to take down and long to regrow!
If we have any horticulturist's on the board, tell me what these orange flowered trees are. I have them growing all over the place and they are quite pretty.
And last, looks like Google Earth has found me, looks like they flew over during a bleak winter day. Walls had just been poured.

The pictures aren't real clear but the orange blooms with those small oval leaves suggest a flowering quince.
We have them here in Missouri but they are all done now. Perhaps your elevation and unseasonaly cold spring has delayed them.

Easy target for a drone...Love the satellite view
Well, yes... the doors are all 36" and the halls are 48". But how these people will ever get up the stairs and into the house in the first place is going to be interesting ...

That's the plan Mule. The kitchen is right there so all we need to do is back the SUV up to the door and unload the groceries.
On page 11 there is an obvious mistake that is caught in the photos. On the same page, that mistake has been corrected. What is/was that mistake?
Please don’t post it when/if you find it. Instead, PM me and I’ll let you know if you’re correct or not.

Lot's going on although little of it projects well in pictures. Wiring is underway, rough plumbing is all but finished, HVAC ducts are being installed and we are moving/adding some windows to exploit the breeze that works its way up the mountain.
Sometime today or tomorrow I'll be taking my "energy saver" fan up and temporarily setting it up to see how well it pulls air through the 300' of buried pipe and what kind of air temps we can actually expect to get.

Rain finally lightened up and we got the last two trapezoid windows in, some other miscellaneous framing tasks and the chimney for the wood stove. We're going to install a Harman TL-300 which aside from its frugal consumption of fire wood, has some other neat features.
- Outdoor air ready.
- Top and front loading access.
- 3 cubic foot firebox.
- Up to 17 hours of burn time. (Or so its advertised, we'll see...)
- Slide out ash box that only needs to be emptied twice a month, even with the stove in continuous use.

HVAC is coming along great. Wiring for surround sound, security and everything else is getting close too. Picture of the pad where the backup generator will sit. (We're expecting the generator to be delivered end of next week.) Next week we will be putting siding on and hopefully laying the Trex. Thanks Mule for the Trex advise! I'm sure we'll be happy we spent the extra money.
