Top floor of the Front House making progress. On schedule to have the roof on before rainy season.

Bottom floor of the Front House mostly framed. Our mission is to have the roof on before rainy season.

Lumber delivery for most of the bottom floor.

Crawlspace has sewer, electrical, water, insulation, joists—ready for the floor.

We built the footings, piers, and stem walls for the Front House.

We dug footings for the Front House, but rain filled them up and stalled our hopes for an early spring start. Oops!

We built an outdoor table that says “HG” for Hidden Groves, though it doubles as a Jack in the Box icon.

We snuck out of the brutal California winter for a vacation in Kauai, Oahu, and Hawai‘i.

We installed an enormous TV in the Movie Pit in the Back House.
