The rough In is nearly complete. Harry is just finishing the electrical installation and has moved onto insulation. The roof is on. The hot water solar panels are going to be going up on top of this roof. Stay tuned for more excellent news on solar Offgrid artist studio construction.

Enjoy the beautiful weather and summer skies from lovely south Colorado. Rainbow season seems to be upon us. Welcome to Colorful Colorado. Amazing cloud formations are excellent viewing at 6,800 feet elevation. (Hello to our friend Artur in Poland. He designed the Welcome banner in the slide show. Wonderful!) More interesting developments are here.

Cement pouring happens. Today is the day we pour the steps and driveway pad. The south utility room cement slab was completed also. We are so grateful to Lovato Concrete of Trinidad Colorado, for stopping by to flow out the cement pour today.

Beacon Pink is under way. Tracking down the varnish was a nice challenge. Alas, Sean in Missouri is the real hero for the amazing handling of speedy delivery to my studio in Colorado. The 20 gallons of varnish is just excellent. Check out some of the production images thus far.

The footings for the utility room is happening. This addition will house the batteries, charge controls, inverter, and shelving for storage. The roof is where the solar panels will be installed.

Statement:
Except from “Nature” by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
“The stars awaken a certain reference, because though always present they are in accessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence. Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man share her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection. Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit. The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as such as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood. Not the sun or the summer alone, but every hour and season yields its tribute of delight; For every hour and change corresponds to and authorizes a different state of the mind, from breathless noon to grimmest midnight in the woods is perpetual youth.”
