The roof tiles are mostly on, and the exterior is about ready for the stucco.

Route 666

On one of my occasional wanderings through the Wikipedia, I found an interesting article about the former Route 666 that connects extends from Monticello, Utah, to Gallup, New Mexico. (It is now Highway 491.)

This may just confirm to all of you that I am, in fact, the geekiest of geeks, but I found the article interesting. If you have ever wondered how highway numbers are chosen, you'll probably learn more than you really wanted to know if you read the article.

Here's another interesting bit on Route 66.

Progress on the house

View from front corner. The black area around the entry will be covered with stone. The rest will be stuccoed. The abundance of windows in the corner bedroom is to make it easier for Olivia to sneak out at night.

Front door (off courtyard) into living room. Archway leads into great room.


Looking from family room into dining area. (Kitchen is behind the wall on the left.)
