It has been a while since I opened the home and updated this blog. Two of my daughters with cameras in hand came to our Red Pine Canyon property, which prompted this update. Much of the work isn't very photogenic (wire and insulation) -- but here is a sampling of what has been going on.
Come on in through the front door!
The painters are anxious to get started on all the wood-work. The trim stain matches the front door while the beams will be a shade lighter. On the stairs this requires a lot of taping to isolate the two elements from each other.
The drywall is up in the basement and all of the upstairs bathrooms (seen through the door). The workers will hopefully finish the upstairs bedrooms before Christmas. Soon as we have the bathrooms taped, textured and primed we will begin tile work.

As we look up the mountain to our solar poles, you can see that during snow storms and heavy cloud periods the trackers don't always work. The one on the right is gaining some solar input while the one on the left is in rest mode. Occasionally we have to use the back-up generator.
After sampling many colors we have chosen our exterior paint combination. We are using hardi-board (a cement-fiber board) for the lap siding (at the bottom) and battenboard as well as trim. This is a fire-proof product -- just in case!

The Utah Juniper mantels look beautiful after being sanded and receiving several coats of lacquer.
