Here is the roof, minus a flat piece of greenhouse walling on the top.

Today, the floor will be excavated and a splash guard put up all the way around! I'll take pics this evening!

No problem ACK2! I'm so excited!

Unfortunately, no pics today. The floor area and splash skirt area was dug out mostly today, but he spent more time scouring for used St. Louis artisan brick to match the brick in our house today than anything else, lol... Despite the time, he has an ear for understanding his contractors desires and eye for design.

Not much to report. It's been slow going now since staining is necessary and we had storms. Staining is almost done though, and the windows and shelves will be going up next week. Hopefully, one more week and we'll be done!

Staining is complete and the Frank Lloyd Wright styled screen windows have begun. He finished the front today, with the exception of building the doors. I'll upload pics tomorrow.
