Progress again — a quick update. Picture 1 shows the continuing work attaching the insulation panels to the outside of the apartment. Probably no work tomorrow because the electric company will be turning off the electricity and closing part of Modjeska Canyon Road to replace some poles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictures 2 and 3 show the newest development: drywall panels on the ceiling of the kitchen and the master bedroom. They have completed all of the first floor ceiling except in the great room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that the reason that they left the great room for last is that they still need to build the wall that encloses the pocket that the sliding door and sliding screen panel will slide into. Picture 4, which was taken on Monday, shows the framing for the interior part of this wall (the exterior part is one of the concrete walls) being constructed on the Great Room floor. In Picture 5, taken late Tuesday, the wall is up and the electrical wiring needed in it has been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pocket door arrangement will be nice. We love to have the doors and windows open during the day and evening, but there are many small flying insects in Modjeska (oddly this is not true in Irvine), so there need to be screens. However, it seems a shame to distort the view through the large south windows with screens — even ones designed to be “almost invisible” — when they are not in use. The door pocket provides a place where the sliding screen door can be out of sight when the door is closed, and a place to slide the the door when it is open and the screen is in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture 6 – First fruits from the orchard this summer. On top are Flavor Grenade pluots — the ones that are green or purply red — and Goldkist apricots — the ones that are yellow-orange. These are the first of what promises to be a bountiful harvest from the orchard this summer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
