Looks like a house.

I went for a walk up the local mountain on Sunday. My house is down in there.... 

I thought I might be able to supervise the crew today... 

But alas my plans were changed. So here is the end of the day check in... Looks like a house now!

Remember a few things... 

This is the ground floor basement you are looking at,  it will buried a little bit around the sides and front, and there will be stairs to a front covered deck.

Nice big double doors to get all the toys (dive gear, kayak, bike), inside without smashing up the doorway.... 

I am putting in some windows, not just for light, but incase I want to build rooms where egress is an issue. This one will have a view of the driveway...

While this one will look on to gardens and the Italian plums.

And here you can see where the pillars will be attached to support the ceiling/ upper floor.

One more floor up.

A view from the oregano patch through the plum tree....

There will be a deck above, so we will have to see how nice the sunsets will be from down here.

Meanwhile back at the cottage by the sea....sigh!
