May update

Progress on the house include wrapping it up to make it air tight and installing a short roof over the south facing windows and doors. The roof is also complete which makes us very happy. No more running around with buckets when it rains. People ask us why we are putting a short roof over the south deck and not a full roof or no roof. Well, it's all about passive solar heating. Southern sun in the window will heat our home during the day requiring less resources used to heat it. The short roof will keep that same hot sun out in the summer out. Keeping the house cool. Hopefully we will have pictures of that soon.

Kent's parent were driving through Athens on their way back home from down south. Here are a few photos taken in the driveway.
