I got back to Utah and headed straight to Cowieswells. The sun was shinning and the place was looking fantastic. When I got there the stone masons (Sid and Al) were busy making holes in the walls for windows and extensions. The following day I had a meeting on site with the architects and Ian (the foreman). All is going well, we are currently a bit behind schedule because of the crappy weather in April but they seem confident that they can make that up.
At the moment it doesn't seem like a lot has happened in the last few weeks, although there is a lot of unseen work in getting the foundations and the drainage in. We are on schedule to be "wind and water tight" by the end of June. That means all the extensions get built, roofs are put on, all the windows go in etc etc in the next 5 weeks. So things are about to get exciting.
I have been shooting timelapse for the last few weeks but there is not much to see. I think the next few weeks will be much more interesting, so watch this space.
