Starting to look like a house
The shutter on my camera didn't open all the way. I'm having some trouble with it since it now has a little stucco on it. It's not made for a construction site.
Now you can start to see what I had in mind all along.
Here's the spare bedroom window above the french doors in the kitchen opening on to what will be the patio. The pins beside the windows are for window box/railing. The pins under the window are for a retractable patio awning. The electrical box on the left is the awning power and the one on the right is one of the patio lights.
Here's a close up of the decorative stone applied to the sills. It then gets several coats of acrylic clear coat for further protection. Below is the patio outlet. Double click for a real close-up. The windows are grouted into place and there's no wood in the wall. Even still, the windows will get a bead of caulking all around. The picture also shows the "skip trowel" finish.# posted by gnome-honey @ 3:01 PM
