Chalk Lines on the Floor

Today Jim and Pirouette came over to help me lay out the wall locations in our off grid home. We measured off from the west Durisol wall and snapped a line to show the finished surface of the hall walls. Jim knew exactly what he was doing so we got everything correct. We had to juggle one wall in the bathroom to make sure we included the drain pipe and vent pipe within the enclosed wall.



Here we are snapping the guest bedroom wall. The bedrooms have large east windows, so the morning sun will come pouring in and get you up early. No sleeping in until 12 o'clock here.




Jim double checks to make sure the drain and vent pipes fit inside the wall. All the drain locations have been boxed out so the shower stall will be easy to install.


After Jim and Pirouette left the skies darkened and the rain came down.



The water cascading off our roof reminds me of a mountain waterfall. It is wonderful to be able to sit on our covered porch and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature here in our forest. We love our house design, thanks to Tom and Christine at Solares Architecture in Toronto. (click "Clearwater Lodge" on sidebar)


Thanks, Jim and Pirouette for all your help today; greatly appreciated.


And thanks to our readers for stopping by; enjoy your day.
