Best of luck @Anesthetist!  I know things are tough right now but I hope things go smoothly for you!  Things like this can be challenging but are typically well worth it in the end, it's just hard to be patient at times.

Delay from an Architect? Get outta here!
Nice looking project and perfect timing to work on something like this @Anesthetist.
Could even be a nice family project.

Sorry for the infrequent updates! Things have really been moving along and exterior finishing is about half way complete. Concrete board is up as are the fascia & soffits. Next will be the battens and replacing the door trim, gutters, and painting. We’ve chose a color scheme that a lot of Eichler and other MCM architects went with including a local architect, Ralph Fournier

I saw the photos and thought that the top one was your house for a second @Anesthetist!

Looking forward to seeing what the extension is like when it's done. I like the design, and the fact that it's not slavishly following the original house.

Is there any reason you didn't glaze the whole of the rear wall?

[Anesthetist]

Thanks Graeme! Haha, the first house actually isnt far from me (suburb though, not the city), was an equal price to the house we currently have, AND in a better school system. I was almost packing my bags but…my wife is anchored in to our current home. We do have great neighbors and she has this thing about not living in a house without a basement [emoji2369] So we talked about it and decided to bring a little detail of it back to the city.

Shame about that, it looks a cool house, though yours looks good.

I'm sure that when we get around to shopping for a house, I'll be looking for something eccentric (like this), but I'll be overruled by my other half.

Trees starting to turn yellow… the left one is a Ginkgo which gets amazing yellow leaves in autumn

There are some streets in Yokohama that are lined with them.  They look beautiful, but in late summer the smell is gag-making…..

Thanks… black pine. I like the pines. There is a Japanese White Pine right of the lantern and the large tree on the left is a Himalayan ceder, the huge one in the back is a Hornbeam about 40 to 50 years old
