From time to time in telling the story of building the house, I've mentioned bringing cookies to the workers. I thought it would be fun to show you some "cookie monsters" in action. We had just finished a thorough inspection of the progress to date with an independent inspector and our builders, and it was a good time for a treat!!

In case the guys left cookie crumbs in the house, we have installed an in-house pest protection system. There are black tubes running through the house connected to a central manifold. The port for the pest chemicals is located outside the house for easy servicing.

While we were doing our walk through the house, the masons were continuing their artistry outside. The patio fireplace is really taking shape.

AND........the bracing forms for the arches have been removed revealing the beautiful job the masons did forming these features of the back porch.
Notice the big piece of equipment in the background partially hidden by the trees. It is the backhoe the pool builder will use when starting the pool project. Here is a better shot of this impressive machine,

So, it was another hard week of work by the folks building our house and we are thrilled with the progress.
