Last look at the gates


This is a shot from down the driveway. The gateposts are stuccoed and if you look hard enough you can see the railing on top of the spiral stairs. The railing was made from a bike rack that I picked up at Habitat for Humanity re-store, like the stairs themselves and the doors for the gates. A little cutting and welding and a lot of grinding and it fits and looks good.
It really comes together now and we can move to the inside for the winter. I still need to finish out the skylight and paint the bathroom, two small jobs I've been putting off too long.

It's been a while since I thought to drop by here, and I must say that the progress has been amazing! Sounds like you guys are getting settled in, and the house looks great. I envy your scenery, and view of the stars.

Enjoy the fruits of your labors!

(However, I respectfully disagree with your one-sentence review of Maiya's. We loved it. Man does not live by steak and potatoes alone! ;-)

Awesome Job! My family has property in Terlingua. I am quite jealous.
