		<description><![CDATA[My husband and I spent this past weekend in Mendocino County, enjoying wine country and a visit with friends in our first &#8220;get away&#8221; in 2 years since starting the house.  Too bad the memory had to be spoiled like this.
This evening (Monday after), a Mendocino county sheriff contacted my husband Chris and accused us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a rainy late afternoon in Half Moon Bay, so after driving around the neighborhood getting some cool shots of Pittosporum in the rain (more on that later), I decided to open up one of my recent wine purchases, PromisQous.  It&#8217;s what I&#8217;d call &#8220;modestly priced,&#8221; which means about $10.  Lately we are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What an innocuous little title for such drama.  This staircase has more twists and turns than Peyton Place!  I&#8217;ve missed lots of work on the house since the drywall, but rather than going in sequence, I thought I&#8217;d let you know that we declare March 9 National House-Done-Day.&#160; Yeppers, we passed our final [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spoke with Chris tonight.&#160; Both of us are feeling tired and overwhelmed by our work loads (he on the house and me on house/job stuff).&#160; It&#8217;s been such a long haul, and it never seems quite done.&#160; We broke ground in May of 2007 and spent 2 years prior to that in intense design/planning/structural.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While a lot of the exterior work was going on, we had a crew inside doing the drywall.&#160; Boy, these guys are FAST!!! And really messy.&#160; You&#8217;ve never seen anything so messy as drywall, and it&#8217;s not just the dust. But, as usual, let&#8217;s start with just before, where the remaining walls that were not [...]]]></description>

The final touches are not done yet, but you&#8217;ll get the sense of the scope of what it means to create a raised walkway with fill and concrete, and how important it is to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This has truly been an exciting week @ Villa Boswell.  It&#8217;s Saturday and our radiant floors are in!  That means that insulation can begin and after that, drywall.  We&#8217;re pretty excited about wrapping this place up in time for Christmas.  But, I get ahead of myself.  First, here&#8217;s the scoop [...]]]></description>
