Next we'll paint the textured stucco

Here are some photos of the stuccoed and textured south (back) wall. Next we'll paint the wall "Dove Gray" to match the other three walls (eventually we'll build a deck in front of the door and windows looking south out into our woods):Note the 3' overhang on this south wall. It was part of my passive solar design to block the summer sun which is higher in the sky than the winter sun. The winter sun is lower in the sky and shines directly in the windows and heats the concrete floor and air. I was really happy with how well my simple design worked to keep the house toasty warm last winter.Ben also got the trim attached around the front door (AAC block strips and styrofoam). Tomorrow he'll put the first coat of stucco on the trim.Here is a close-up photo of one of the front windows (north wall). A coat of "Dove Gray" paint will touch-up the wall around the window while the trim will be painted stark white (the blue is masking tape).After Ben gets the trim stuccoed we'll move inside and start finishing the sheet rock. Slowly but surely we'll get the house finished.
