Driveway Drama and Design


City of Sacramento Building Code requires us to lay a concrete driveway even though our garage entrance is onto an unpaved and seldom used alley..(And in spite of the fact that we won't be parking our cars in our garage or on this driveway!) Our neighbor across the alley built his house a year ago and they didn't make him put in a concrete drive......We are compromising by putting in concrete pavers with gaps that we can plant into....Defining the space will be a twelve inch band of concrete.......The primary viewing of this garden will be from the picture windows on the second floor, the view from up there is shown on this picture.

Electricity is done!

Our electrical service is done! (well, except for the all important punch list that will be knocked out on Monday) The Integrity Electic guys spent several days here this week. They said we have one of the most intense switching systems they have ever seen in a residential project.......I must confess that I'm still not sure what all 12 of the switches behind the front door actually do..... Pictured is Joe from Integrity Electric putting the finishing touches on our kitchen island. The counter top guys were here on Wed to measure the counters, they were fabricated today and will be installed next Wednesday....

It's finally done...

   We're excited to report that our house is finally, really, officially DONE!  The shower hardware in the third-floor bathroom was installed this past weekend.   Yes, we moved in back in June of 2006....Don't judge...
