This Blog is to record the construction of our ocean beach cottage. It will be a wonderful record for us, but also a way to spread the word to friends, family, and future guests.
Exterior, street view - siding up, metal roof on front porch, exterior trim details started. Interior - hardwood flooring delivered and ready to go, walls sheetrocked, mudded and textured, fireplace delivered and TV cabinet roughed in, electrical and plumbing set.
Exterior, back view - metal roof over master bedroom and back porch, tankless hot water heater installed.
Getting a wrap. You can also see the front roof is finished. The back roof, including the back porch, will have metal roofing (so will the front porch roof).
The second story has started and you can see lots more definition of the rear of the house. The back door is the opening to the left, and the 2 windows on the right will be in the master bedroom.
The footing forms are built and ready for the concrete to be poured. This view is facing south-east, standing by the back corner where the porch will be located.
This is our first look at the lot that will become the Compass Rose cottage! This view is from across the street and up the hill. Lot 125 is on the right, next to the green house. Eventually there will be 2 more cottages next to ours.
