So, its been a while since the last update. But here up will find a fast-tracked update on what's been happening on the Casa since November. There has been many decisions: some good one's and some that I will chalk up to part of the learning process that I agreed to myself that this home would provide for me. Afterall, it is my first 'greenfield' job and also it has been intended as an exercise in new construction methods, an aggressive budget, and introducing "green" to the neighborhood.
We have changed decisions on the facade, the fence, the interior paint, the countertops, the bath tile, lighting, landscape, and so on. But who ever said these were really decisions to begin with? They were only ideas that evolved along the way. These have been driven by costs, subs capabilities, simplicity, and other factors. But all in all the Casa de Mariposa is mostly as it was originally designed and with that, I am pleased so far. I will attempt to place the folowing pics in somewhat a chronological order and will try to hold the comments to a minimum.
I hope for your feedback, questions, and comments.
