Great Room - Little Time

I haven't let on that the plaster (actually concrete with easy spread) is being applied throughout the house, so this is the first indicator. This room actually has the primer coat of paint (notice our painter, Dilbert, in upper right corner of photo); the finish painting coat with color begins tomorrow, with our bedroom and this room all ready to go.............. wahooo.........

Did you see the ceiling fan? Debbie helped me install the two for the great room today, the master bedroom is tomorrow; I will install the remaining bedroom fans, in the West Wing, once they are plastered, (or... parged... or... stuccoed [sic?]).

The clock ticks away as we close in on Halloween, our official moving day, although we are bringing items from the rental house every day now, and not bringing them back here. So the move begins..... Debbie and I are accustomed to moving, we were programmed to put up with it twice a year when we lived on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. We called it the Nantucket shuffle, every Spring and every Fall we were off to new digs, in search of the best deal... ...as if!

Vista Concordia Signpost

The entrance to our area is not gated, but it bears the name of the Estate we are in, Concordia, and the view is unbelievable! Coincidental that I was raised in Concord, Massachusetts? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The pressure treated plywood, in this case 3/4" Tongue & Groove, is being applied to the roof systems of the separate "pods" of the house.

At the Break of Dawn

The East gallery facade, with eliptical European arches and columns with collars. The staging is still up in places for the stucco job, or parging.

Bright and early this morning, 6:45 AM. The puddle on the floor is from a brief shower moments earlier... No, the roof still isn't tight yet, we are still hoping to move into this place on Halloween, scary, eh? I won't be in-costume, but I will likely look like a raving lunatic!

The staging is set up for the ceiling fans, which I will put up soon. The cables floating (seemingly) in to view, are for a smoke detector for the Great Room ceiling. There is also a smoke detector in the back hall, one each

inside each bedroom and one in the basement apartment. The will ring in unison, at 8.5 decibels, if smoke is detected.
