We're getting closer all the time. We figured out how to get the stand into the house and my contractor has been installing the shell today. Tomorrow we will hopefully see a lot of the exterior to the stand get installed.

Without pics...it don't mean much so here you go:



Here you can see we're starting to put the exterior on:


Here is the skeleton of the canopy:


And from another angle.


Sadly while test programming my LED lights, my APEX unit died and has to be returned to Neptune for replacement. It's only been on for 5 or 6 days so hopefully it's track record gets better.

Some more pictures from today's progress...this thing is huge.

Here is the view as you come up the stairs into the living area of the house.





The living room side:



The dining room side:



And my plumbing for the external overflow coming through the bottom of the sink area.

This is looking fantastic! It must be exciting to see it coming together.

Yeah, finally some movement on things. It will start coming fast now.

Stand looks to be equal parts large and awesome. This is where all the waiting seems worth it!

Thanks...despite all the time its taken, now I feel panicked about how quickly its coming together. Tomorrow will be another big day of work getting done.

If anyone has trouble figuring out how it will all come together, join the club. The original ideas were mine...but my contractor has run with it to develop the finished look. Luckily, I've never seen him do a less than stellar job...so I have faith

We're out above the beach in Lakeridge Estates in the Landing.
