Our House Is Finished!

Well...it took many months longer than anticipated, but our house in Idyllwild is finally finished! The house looks fantastic. It's grand, cozy, and green. The only thing left we're waiting on is for the LEED For Homes Certification and for the utility company to turn on our solar electric system so that we can start earning credit for the energy feeding the Grid. Dealing with bureaucracies (Southern California Edison) has proved to be an administrative nightmare, however! But it's hard to complain about or get too upset over: we've got an amazing mountain retreat that we can finally call our own.
