"It Takes a Team"

Here's a photo of our contractors (Rob left and Jordan right) dueling it out on their ladders with nail guns to see who will run out of ammunition the fastest!

This view is inside the stairwell the separates our main house from the ohana - so it is really private for our guests.  The walls on either side at the top will be framed in, but the clerestory window at the top, as well as two windows in the front side will bring light into this area.

Today we took delivery of the final windows and Phil is off to replace a compressor (for the nail gun) that blew out yesterday -- and some additional rolls of electrical wiring.  Considering the wiring includes both the 700+ square feet of living space upstairs, AND Phil's enormous shop downstairs -- it is a lot of wiring.

Also on the agenda for the day, Lunel is beginning to stain the upright posts for the railing on the balcony and get the final spar varnish finish on all the guava rungs.



Dexter, as always is awaiting the noon lunch break so he can lick out all the bowls. 

The myna bird couple who live in the birdhouse right by the new deck seem contended to let us all do our work - with only an occasional warning squack or squabble to let us know that "that is close enough, thank you very much."
