Context

It's all about context, y'know?  Over the months we've taken lots of pics of the build all close up and detailed and stuff.  And you've seen pics of what the view looks like.  But where does the house itself fit into the landscape?

We went a-wanderin' on the next door section (which is for sale, BTW!) and got some shots from afar, that will hopefully show you where the house is situated, and how it fits into the local landscape.

That, and there is a picture of Pete being silly.  You've seen enough pics of me looking dumb, time for revenge, MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! >:-)


Pete's too cool for school... HURPA DURPA DURP!


The house from afar, nestled against the hill.  Still standing out a bit, but once it's plastered and the ground around it is landscaped it wont stand out quite as much.
I'm read for my close up now, Mr. Demille!  They've just about finished putting on the Axon cladding - the lighter coloured, vertically grooved stuff that will eventually be painted quite a dark colour.  The brownish stuff is the paper & wire mesh base that the concrete stucco stuff will be sprayed onto, then painted a lighter, contrasting colour.
Better view of the Axon cladding on the games room.  It will provide a nice contrast in terms of texture as well as colour against the concrete stucco goop (when it is eventually done).
