Professional photos of my house are here!

The Marketing team at Acorn Deck House Company has very, very graciously given me permission to use some of the photos they took recently of my house. I believe they are working on a new version / update of their website and some of this material looks like it will be included.

Thank you so […]

Picture heavy post after missing a week of posts

I was wrapped up last weekend in doing work trying to continue momentum for my occupancy permit and I never got around to posting anything.

Summer Solstice is right around the corner

Good morning – A couple of days till the summer solstice and summer is definitely here.

Things are moving into the home stretch at the house […]

House numbers – Mid Century style!

More mid century stuff – I needed a number for my house, so I ordered from a company I found as an advertiser in Atomic Ranch magazine that specializes in Mid Century modern styling. I ordered my number (337) in cut stainless steel like the photo below but with the background plate in Capri Blue […]

May 2016 – a busy month

May has been a really busy month for me with a lot of travel for both work and personal. I went to California twice, visited the BNY Mellon Innovation Center in Palo Alto which was super interesting and did general work stuff in the office. Then a few days later my parents and I traveled […]

Building a house is like building a sand dribble castle at the beach

About 10 years ago, I was heavily involved in building out our office space in San Francisco (about 96,000 square feet). This is in a large downtown office tower and it was bare concrete floors and completely empty floor to ceiling on 4.5 floors – so about 22K square feet per floor. Our architects were […]

First off and exciting – the Geothermal system is installed and running. With that up and going, Paul was able to bring the house up to full temperature and get the floor and […]

Cold, cold, cold Washington’s Birthday holiday in Carlisle

This morning (Sunday), at sunrise, it was a chilly -21 degrees Fahrenheit on our front porch (indicated at -16 but we normally find a 5 degree difference due to heat from the house impacting the thermometer). The temperature at the town center is showing at -11. I think the difference is that we are downhill […]
