Progress

Here are some recent photos of the house progress. We pored the concrete for the front porch last week and stamped in a slate pattern. It looks great. I trialed in some black die with black release agent to give a dark black grey look with some very light grey coming through. The idea was to balance the dark roof.

As you can see the columns arrived and we installed them as well. Sure does adds stability and a since of strength to the front.

Also the front walls are ready for the finish coat of butter colored stucco.
Here is the north side with the finished stucco on. It is looking very yellow in these pictures but it is really a buff color. We are trying to get an old world French country look. The partial stones are to simulate old walls with the plaster falling off.


Here is the gable end of the garage. The bottom section will be totally filled in with stone and the top will get stucco around the stones.
