| We've been working on getting the inside more than just livable, but even attractive. Elaine's archeology partner Dwight has been painting the trusses with a metallic aluminum paint to match the window frames. It makes a huge difference in the interior appearance, taking some of the industrial edge off of the trusses, which were primer gray and rust. | |

Up until now the window sills have been the raw rammed earth. Because of the way the windows were formed, the raw sills are very irregular and prone to "dusting" - releasing generous amounts of grit and dirt into the room. This is in the guest suite. The wood is to hold the tiles in place until the quickset has hardened. |
| The large corner window in the sewing room gets the same treatment, using the same rain-forest green marble tiles that form the diamonds in the shower tiles. |

The powder room in the main house finally gets a sink. Very sleek, very modern, the perfect contrast to the rammed earth. |
