2018 08 13 House Clean and Empty, Before Movers ..
On the 12th and 13th I had two days during which the house was empty [almost], but after it had been cleaned from top to bottom. I photographed as much as I could during those two days.
A few places in the house [studio mezzanine, TV mezzanine, guest] didn't get photographed, but I'll do that when we are fully moved in, the house is furnished, there is art on the walls, rugs on the floors.
I will also be photographing the house exterior at dusk sometime soon.
Studio space. There is a mezzanine on the north side [photographs to follow soon].
Gallery space between studio and living spaces:
Main living space:
Hallway from living to baths, laundry, master bedroom:

2018 08 06 Drive Layout ..
Drive layout is done. I was not sure it would be possible to make the drive straight, but it is. I'm standing outside the end of our drive in this photo. Drive will have the same steel edging as the flagstone, and the landscape will be restored to the edges. [Numbers still to be added to light fixture at right.]
Still very smoky.

In all of the following photos you can see the smoke filled sky and coppery light. California is on fire.
The two pieces of steel are scribed into the pair of rocks. There will be flagstone between them. The steel is set in concrete and bolted to the house. The landscaping will be filled in to the left and right.
Note the rusty handprints and smudges in the steel. I asked the steel subcontractor to leave them there; I want to see them age and blend in. Or not.

Landscape planting continues.
Entry flagstone work continues.
Steel for east end utility entry arrives, placed.
Solar array goes active. This was a long time coming. There was a lot of turmoil in the NV residential solar market over the last 3 years. Most of the residential solar installers went out of business within a few weeks of NVE changing the net metering rules. A public outcry caused much of this to be undone, but it took a long time. We got our net metering approved just before all this damage was done, but the process was still time consuming. We have a 15kW system and I hope this meets our needs when averaged over a year.
Following photo: The right end of the steel is cut to fit against one of the landscaping rocks.
The clamps are all there as temporary handles.
