In case you were wondering, it’s modern farmhouse style… But it used to be mid century modern. (Using the term “modern” kinda liberally.) We are now at the end of Week 17. Remember this? Circa 2016. This is us, circa 2017 (so far): Sure, sure… the landscaping could use a face-lift now. But all in …
Our Martin Acres pop-top is zooming along! We have just ended week 16 of our Martin Acres pop-top project (if you also count the couple of weeks in early March spent preparing to start.) You can only imagine my surprise when Ken told me that we are presently a couple of weeks ahead of schedule, …
285 Martin Drive passed Rough Inspection It has been a busy week, but on the outside looking in, not a lot of apparent progress. Yeah, it’s hard to take pictures of another 20 feet of wiring and post about it! Hard at work have been the HVAC teams, electricians and plumbers though. Every wall of …

Martin Acres construction: Electrical, HVAC and Plumbing From the outside looking in, the last week appeared pretty uneventful. Do not be fooled! 285 Martin Drive was a hive of activity.

Our 285 Martin Drive pop-top made great strides this week: What do you call it when the 285 Martin Drive pop-top gets a roof, windows and front porch all in one week? Exhilarating. Wonderful. Heartwarming! Yes, a busy week indeed at the job site. The house started out Monday looking like this: Plywood. No roof. Window …
Storm Form… the builder AND the event @ 285 Martin Dr! Storm Form is my design-builder. Storm Form was the most appropriate name for this weeks weather too. I probably assume too much and count on good luck in the weather department, truth be told. Whoops, not this week. My luck kinda ran out! For …
Boulder New Construction gets Waterproof Hat! Well poo! The weather guessers are calling for copious quantities of rain, a wee bit of snow and general crappiness for the rest of the week. Sure, we might get a little reprise over the weekend but sandwiching it, we are expecting clouds and grayness for the next 5 …
285 Martin Drive – Another perspective! It was the perfect evening. Not to hot, not too cool, with a slight breeze. A good night to fly, so we took to the skies. About 10 minutes in, Mark and I looked at each and said “let’s fly over the Boulder house!”. Sweet idea!! And so we …
The Martin Acres Remodel turns another corner This week the roof trusses were installed and the plywood roof decking went on top of that. We were not without drama of course… As weather dampened spirits and threatened to strike down the guys with bolts of lightning while they toiled between spells of torrential rain. How awesome …
