We had our 1000th blog visit yesterday! The Sitemeter software that tracks our visits is incredibly fascinating. We can see where are visitors are from, how they got to our site, what their Google search was if they used one and a whole host of other info. Raise a glass to Cassilhaus for reaching this milestone. Thanks to everyone for checking in on our little project. It is really getting exciting so please stay tuned. They finished the upper roof framing and sheathing yesterday and I got up there to take some photos.
This was taken from the highest point on the house above the master bedroom. It is WAY up there--about 35'. This area with the chairs is the living/dining room and the only part of the house that has not been framed yet. Ellen and I invited everyone in our offices (Ellen Cassilly Architect and KONTEK Systems) for a pizza, beer, and Locopops party after work and there were quite a few wide eyes! Everyone seemed to love the house very much and a good time was had by all. The most important piece of intelligence gleaned from this outing was that Papa John's Pizza delivers to our new house!
I spent the day ordering light fixtures, window blinds, and in-wall loudspeakers. I have a serious weakness for Italian light fixtures. I found an amazingly cool one today by a company called Flaver. Take a look at LOOP. It is alternating/undulating plates of white and red glass. I also fell in love with a fixture called HOLE from Itre. I am very grateful to Teresa Teachey for all of her help today with these fixtures.
The 14 page quote from Lutron on window blinds was less stimulating but needs to move to the top of my list so I need to wind this up.
Be wary of any enterprise that requires new clothes.
