Front Door, Concrete for the Pool, etc...

It's been a while since I've posted any progress on the house, but this is kind of the slow time. However, here are some of the changes. They put in the front door, which was a splurge that we absolutely love.
We also discovered a feature that we love that we didn't even know about, the inside glass has little latches that you can unhook and open, so that you can let the breeze in. How fun!

They have delivered the brick. You can't really tell from the picture, but this brick is atrocious. It's going to be covered in stucco, but before it is, I'm sure there will be a lot of angry and scared neighbors.

They also have the sheet rock laying around in side. That will be one of the next big transformations to see the walls sheet rocked.

I couldn't get a good pic of the full pool from up on the balcony, but this is most of it. On the right is the spa, raised about 18 inches above the rest of the pool. Then, we have a little tanning deck, then on to the shallow in. You can kind of see on the left, we are having a portion of the pool with a negative edge that will flow over a rock wall on the other side into a basin, and we will have another little patio over there. I can't wait to swim in this thing!

I absolutely love your door! And how cool that the glass opens also. The pool looks beautiful. So fun to see your house coming together.

Oh, wow! I've got to get out there and look this over. The door is beautiful. And I can't wait to swim in the pool, too.
