Completed Trusses and a Beautiful Day




Yesterday and today were picture perfect beach days, with a light northeast wind blowing, less humidity, and slightly lower temperatures. I drove up to the lot on Friday by myself and back again today with Vince. The first floor trusses are completed, and we hope the framing will begin next week. Although engineered for structure, the trusses have an aesthetic beauty in their shape and balance, casting shadows on the sand in symmetrical patterns. I met a beautiful little beagle named Sandy Beach Paws, on site for the day on Friday with Jimmy, her daddy.

Here's a little video taken from the peak of our frontal dune. This is the beach that we will see every day when the house is finished. I thought Vince would enjoy watching it when he is having long days at work, especially since the sky and the sea were so incredible today.

Hi Vince and Phyl,

I always look forward to checking to the latest update on your blog. Phyl you are very creative.

The house is taking shape! What awesome sunrises you can witness as you breath in the ocean air.
