Took a bit of a break from house building in December to arrange and organize some stuff, including our art and photos. Some of it we had not seen since we left Ottawa almost 12 years ago. Some we created in France, Saudi Arabia or Korea.  It is really nice to have some familiar art on the walls.  These are photos taken in Kenya and at Ankor Wat in Cambodia.  Am still designing the stairs, but expect I will go with two steel stringers and open treads.

More photos, taken in the same three places.

This is the Japanesque genkan entry – an old Rama with keyaki wood purchased many years ago, and photos in the rural areas of Japan.  The floor in the entry is still cement – hope to get to it finished later this year.
