It has now been about three and a half months since delivery and the exterior is about 3 days from completion (except for stonework since it's now too cold to lay it). This is the first photos posted of the house from the lakeside -- I'm standing on the beach. From here you can see the large exterior deck with the covered portion toward the right. Behind it and to the right is the florida room. The deck is supported by a white oak timber frame and the newell posts were also supplied by
Woodhouse to match all of the exterior timbers. The giant window wall in the center is partially obscured in this photo by a scaffold structure being used by the guys installing the siding (Dave, Peter, and Hossman). You can also see, to the right and below the deck, the giant culvert that carries rain water from the front of the house out to the rear. Someday it will be incorporated into a stone wall to create a nice water feature.
While down here I took this photo of the existing dock. Needs a little work (maybe some paint?). Views are nice though...
Here's a more familiar view of the project! You can see that the cementatious siding is completed on the front and sides of the house as well as the garage. You can also barely see the felt covered chimney right behind the tree. This will be covered with
Eldorado Stone. With most of the leaves down, the dramatic position of the home relative to the lake becomes more apparent.
Aside for the "hay loft" door for access to the storage area above the bays, the garage is fundamentally complete, sans paint.
This is a detail shot of the front of the house. By the way, the whitish gray color is the raw color of the cementatious siding and trim. Finished colors will be richer (but have not been really decided upon yet. The Eagle indows were ordered in a cinnamon red color so the fin ished palette will compliment the warmth of the red and also the rich oak. The
Eldorado Stone will also have reddish tones within it.
This bracket designed and installed to look like it is holding up the roof over the mud room is a very pretty touch. It is finished with a product made by Sikkens -- a scandinavian producer of wood finishing products that we have had particularly goor results with. This photo also shows the detail in the siding -- clapboard below with shingles in all of the gables. This detail is much more apparent in person.
On the inside, the house is just about ready for sheetrock. The walls are framed and electrical, rough plumbing, and HVAC just about complete.

All the activity is on the rear deck where the guys are finishing the siding.
On the inside, the house is just about ready for sheetrock. The walls are framed and electrical, rough plumbing, and HVAC just about complete.
Even the fireplaces are now installed -- one in the library (shown to the right) and one in the great room.
