We're starting to come up on the end of the remodel (at least the major pieces of it, anyway), and a lot of unfinished projects are starting to wrap up. The second half of the rock steps went in tonight with Carlos's help. Now that the stone is in place, Rachael is going to fill in the gaps with rich soil and plant ground cover, which will hopefully help the rocks blend in with the existing dirt and rock walls to either side.
Great Northwest Gutters installed our gutters and downspouts earlier this week and did some excellent work. The stock brown of the gutters matches the roof so well that they're practically invisible against the house. We chose downspout locations so that we can feed water runoff into small bioswales/watersheds instead of into the storm drains in the street.
Chano and crew have been doing a lot of painting, staining and varnishing for us, and it's all really starting to come together now. In this photo you can see the unexpectedly delicious finish of the porch ceiling, which is stained a deep brown and varnished.
