Cottage 6

The Owner (actually I'm the owner until we are finished, but who's nitpicking) visited his house-in-progress today after a 4+ week hiatus of work and travel. We hope he was quite pleased at the progress. Today we laid out the electric inside the house, and discussed the bathroom designs. We also designed two pretty neat porch systems - one with open rafters, the other with exposed rafters and screened-in porch. To really pimp this place out, we are thinking about stoning the entire chimney, and maybe the foundation as well. Borrowing from a barn motiff, we are using rough hewn vertical board and batten siding on the exterior, and a bold black shingled roof.
